Thank you, Clive!

The reason to ask was that I often met statements about the influence of something on "physical (endurance) performance and exercise (endurance) capacity". I thought that the "capacity" means the possibility of doing some job. And "performance" means the real job which is done.

I found your comments as a confirmation of this understanding)
