Physical Therapy -> Strength -> Endurance
Endurance
Our muscles may be strong for a few seconds to jump really high, but that doesn’t mean they have the endurance to jump over and over again. PT works on strengthening our muscles so that they can last a long time- like running on the playground or climbing a big set of stairs.
