==Description==
Endurance (also called sufferance) is the ability for an [[animal]] to exert itself for a long period of [[time]]. In [[humans]], it is usually used in aerobic or anaerobic [[exercise]]. The definition of 'long' varies according to the [[type]] of exertion - minutes for high [[intensity]] anaerobic exercise, hours or days for low intensity. [[Training]] for endurance can have a negative impact on the ability to exert strength unless an [[individual]] also undertakes [[resistance]] training to counteract this effect.[1]
