Muscular Endurance
Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time. So for example it could be the number of repetitions an athlete can do before their muscles can't do anymore.

Free-weight training
Free-weight training consists of weight exercises being performed while not using a machine but using dumbbells for example. To training muscular endurance with this method, a low weight should be repeated but no more then 15 times repeated 2-3 times for a beginner but to make it harder increase the sets and weights. with a manageable weight maintaining a good form. The image below shows an individual performing bicep curls with free-weights. The fact that machines aren't being using means the exercise is more intense as the stabalising muscles have to work to keep good form. The stabalising muscles for the dumbbell bicep curl would be primarily the pectorals major.
Other free weight exercises include:

This endurance is essential for sports as need to be able to work for long periods of time. A sporting example would be a winger in football needing good muscular endurance in their leg muscles to keep crossing the ball in effectively throughout the game. The main muscle group that would be used is the quad muscles. Below is a picture to show this collection of muscles.

The benefits of this type of training includes an increased strength and balance. This is due to the other muscles working to keep the main focus on the bicep. These muscles are called fixators/synergists. For a bicep curl the main synergists would be the pectorals major as it stops the body from losing good form and for it to do this it must work. This use of many muscles at once makes the exercise more intense and therefore burns more calories when performing.
Although the limitations of this type of training are dumbbells may not be accessible to an individual and if the performer's form is incorrect injury will be sure to accompany sooner or later. In addition to this, if an exercise is performed incorrectly this may cause injury and will mean that the injured person can't do any exercise until the injury is surpassed which means any progress made will be lost.
