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.
Here are the facts: Engineered hardwoods are made of several layers, or âpliesâ that are glued together in a cross-grain construction. This type of construction is far stronger than a single piece of solid wood; and itâs also more structurally sound â it wonât buckle, gap, cup or twist. Engineered hardwoods can be installed below grade and direct to concrete - solid wood floors cannot. The top face is crafted from the finest Northern veneers (which is just an industry term for âtop layerâ) that provide the most uniform color and the most resistance to seasonal expansion.
