12. Section 11.2 Your Muscular System Slide 12 of 16 *Muscular Endurance is the amount of times a muscle can contract without getting tired. Examples: Bench pressing a light amount of weight many times. Hiking the pill boxes. Swimming to flat island. *Muscular Strength is the amount of force a muscle can generate 1 or 2 times. Examples: Bench pressing a heavy weight a few times. Jumping to block a volleyball. Pitching a baseball.
