WHAT IS PHYSICAL FITNESS? • GENERAL STATE OF HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OR SPECIFICALLY THE ABILITY TO PERFORM ASPECTS OF SPORTS. IT’S ACHIEVED THROUGH CORRECT NUTRITION, EXERCISE, HYGIENE, AND REST. • IT IS MORE THAN BEING ABLE TO RUN A LONG DISTANCE OR LIFT A LOT OF WEIGHT AT THE GYM. BEING FIT IS NOT DEFINED ONLY BY WHAT KIND OF ACTIVITY YOU DO, HOW LONG YOU DO IT, OR AT WHAT LEVEL OF INTENSITY. • FITNESS OVERALL IS BROKEN DOWN INTO 5 MAIN COMPONENTS

5 MAIN COMPONENTS • CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE • MUSCULAR STRENGTH • MUSCULAR ENDURANCE • BODY COMPOSITION • FLEXIBILITY

CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE • KEEPING YOUR HEART RATE AT A INCREASED LEVEL FOR A LENGTH OF TIME • EXAMPLES: • WALKING, SWIMMING, BIKING, RUNNING • THE ACTIVITY YOU CHOOSE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE TIRELESS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE YOUR CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE

MUSCULAR STRENGTH • THE ABILITY OF THE MUSCLE TO APPLY FORCE DURING AN ACTIVITY. THE KEY TO MAKING YOUR MUSCLES STRONGER IS MAKING THEM FIGHT AGAINST ANOTHER FORCE. • EXAMPLES: • LIFTING WEIGHTS AND TAKING THE STAIRS

MUSCLE ENDURANCE • THE ABILITY OF THE MUSCLE TO CONTINUE TO PERFORM WITHOUT TIRING. • TO IMPROVE YOUR MUSCULAR ENDURANCE TRY WALKING, JOGGING, BICYCLING, DANCING, OR SIT-UPS.

BODY COMPOSITION • REFERS TO THE QUANTITY OF MUSCLE, FAT, BONE, AND OTHER VITAL PARTS OF THE BODY. • BODY COMPOSITION IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER FOR HEALTH AND MANAGING YOUR WEIGHT.

FLEXIBILITY • RANGE OF MOTION AROUND A JOINT. IN OTHER WORDS HOW FAR EACH JOINT CAN MOVE. • EXAMPLES: • LUNGES, STRETCHING, PILATES, AND YOGA • FOLLOWING GOOD EXERCISE PRACTICES CAN ALSO INCREASE YOUR RANGE OF FLEXIBILITY

ACTIVITY TIME!!!

IMPORTANCE OF THESE COMPONENTS • AN EFFECTIVE FITNESS PROGRAM INCLUDES ALL FIVE COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL COMPONENTS, OF WHICH WE WENT OVER. ONCE YOU’VE HAD ALL FIVE OF THESE PHYSICAL COMPONENTS MEASURED YOU CAN MAKE A LIST OF THE THINGS YOU NEED TO IMPROVE. • FOR EXAMPLE: • IF YOU ARE WEAK IN CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE YOU’LL NEED MORE AEROBIC TRAINING SUCH AS JOGGING. • THESE COMPONENTS ARE USED IN SCHOOLS, GYMS, AND HEALTH CLUBS TO MEASURE YOUR LEVEL OF PHYSICAL FITNESS IN ORDER TO DETERMINE HOW YOUR BODY PERFORMS.
