What is the name of the muscle that works for a long time?

It is not the muscle but the muscle fiber which works for when recruited for long duration. The red muscle fiber or the slow twitch fiber gets recruited for long term stress on the muscle for example if you do bench press on heavy weight explosively for 5 reps you extensively use fast twitch fibers but if you do bench flys for 15 reps in controlled fashion, you extensively use red fibers.
