Musculoskeletal fitness is a multifaceted concept that combines the
integrated roles of muscular strength, muscle endurance, and muscle power to
enable one to accomplish labor against their own body weight or an outside
resistance.
The musculoskeletal system, which consists of three parts—muscular
strength, endurance, and flexibility—is one facet of physical health.
Dynamic muscular strength is the greatest force that a muscle or group of
muscles can produce at a particular speed.
