    Endurance is the ability to sustain physical activity for an extended period without succumbing to fatigue. In sports, endurance is a critical factor for success, especially in disciplines that require prolonged exertion, such as long-distance running, cycling, swimming, and rowing. While many athletes focus on speed and strength, endurance plays a fundamental role in determining overall performance and efficiency. 
There are two primary types of endurance: aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic endurance refers to the ability of the cardiovascular system to supply oxygen to muscles over an extended period. This is vital for sports where sustained, moderate-intensity efforts are required. Activities such as marathons or triathlons demand superior aerobic capacity. On the other hand, anaerobic endurance is associated with high-intensity efforts that are of shorter duration, relying on energy systems that do not require oxygen. This type of endurance is essential for sports that involve bursts of intense effort, such as sprinting or weightlifting. 
The role of genetics in endurance is often debated, as it plays a significant part in an athlete’s ability to develop stamina. Studies have shown that some individuals are naturally predisposed to better endurance due to factors such as muscle fiber composition and cardiovascular efficiency. These genetic traits may give some athletes an advantage, but training and lifestyle choices remain pivotal in enhancing endurance.

    From award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Ibi Zoboi comes her debut book—a tour de force that uses the principles of Kwanzaa to talk about the history of African Americans.  
The People Remember tells the journey of African descendants in America by connecting their history to the seven principles of Kwanzaa. It begins in Africa, where people were taken from their homes and families. They spoke different languages and had different customs. 
Yet they were bound and chained together and forced onto ships sailing into an unknown future. Ultimately, all these people had to learn one common language and create a culture that combined their memories of home with new traditions that enabled them to thrive in this new land. 
This is an important book to read as a family—a story young readers can visit over and over again to deepen their understanding of African American history in relation to their own lives and current social justice movements. By turns powerful and revealing, this is a lyrical narrative that tells the story of survival, as well as the many moments of joy, celebration, and innovation of Black people in America.
