A man is mountain biking in California. Strength, power and muscular endurance are fitness components with many things in common. They require the application of muscular force to overcome resistance while in motion; they involve muscular contraction of a specific muscle or muscle group; and they are measurable components of fitness. Training programs can improve these fitness components.
1 An engineered flooring construction which is popular in parts of Europe is the hardwood lamella, softwood core laid perpendicular to the lamella, and a final backing layer of the same noble wood used for the lamella. 2  Other noble hardwoods are sometimes used for the back layer but must be compatible.
Engineered wood floors are manufactured two ways, one, where the top surface wear layer is Sliced/Sawn cut from the log like solid wood flooring is. Engineered hardwood flooring that has a Sliced/Sawn cut wear layer shows the truer natural look of the wood and finer graining.Sliced/Sawn cut engineered flooring also allows a thicker wear layer. Engineered wood floors can also be Rotary cut, which the veneer hardwood wear layer is peeled off the log using big lathes. The best engineered floors have a Lifespan anywhere from 30 - 100 years. 2  Using an engineered wood floor allows you to have a wood floor on any grade level. 3  Engineered hardwood flooring can be used on wood subfloors or dry concrete slabs.
