Simple answer: your premise is not true, there aren’t two muscle types separated by strength and endurance, both of these are just properties handled by one tissue. There are different muscle types but they are separated by structure and function in the body, not properties: smooth muscles – muscles that run your internal organs like lungs or digestive track, cardiac muscles – muscles that build your heart, and skeletal muscles – they allow you to move.
