Distinguish between muscle strength and muscle endurance, using examples of activities that need more of one than the other.
Identify at least three motor skills (such as throwing, kicking, climbing, or lifting) whose performance improves with stronger or more enduring muscles.
Explain in one or two sentences how stronger arm, chest, and back muscles help with movements such as lifting and throwing.
