What is "stamina" in sports?

All sports require some type of stamina. Having good stamina in sports is the ability to continue exercising or being active even after having done so for a long period of time, according to azcentral.com.

Athletes who are in a great physical condition also have great levels of stamina. Their bodies are all functioning at a higher aptitude, which means their lungs, heart and muscles are working at their best, according to azcentral.com. With these physical talents, athletes can perform sports that require higher stamina levels. A person?s stamina can be measured by a physician or fitness professional with a VO2 max test.
