FITNESS COMPONENTS

HEALTH RELATED FITNESS COMPONENTS 1. MUSCULAR STRENGTH 2. MUSCULAR ENDURANCE 3. CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE 4. BODY COMPOSITION 5. FLEXIBILITY

MUSCULAR STRENGTH �The amount of force a muscle can produce at a given time.

MUSCULAR ENDURANCE �The ability to contract the muscles many times without tiring or hold one contraction for a long time.

Cardiovascular Endurance �the ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to deliver oxygen throughout the body during a sustained period of time.

Body Composition �The % of body fat compared to lean muscle tissue. (the ending result)

Flexibility �The ability to move a joint through a full range of motion.

SKILL RELATED FITNESS COMPONENTS 1. Speed 2. Power 3. Coordination 4. Reaction Time 5. Agility 6. Balance

SPEED �The amount of time it takes your body to perform a given task

POWER �The amount of force a muscle can exert

Coordination �The ability to use the senses and body parts in order to perform motor tasks smoothly and accurately

Reaction Time �The ability to respond quickly to a stimuli

Agility �The ability to rapidly and accurately change the direction of the whole body in space

Balance �The ability to maintain equilibrium while stationary or moving

Resting Heart Rate �Find your pulse on your carotid (neck) artery or radial artery (wrist) �Place your index finger and middle finger over your artery �Count the beats you feel for 15 seconds �Multiply that number by 4 �Ex) 20 x 4 = 80 RHR �Normal RHR = 70 -100 beats per minute

Maximum Heart Rate �Highest Heart Rate achieved to maximum exercise � 220 -Age=Max HR

TARGET HEART RATE �When your exercise Heart Rate (pulse) is 60%-80% of your Max HR �Equation for Target Low (Max. HR-RHR) x. 6 + RHR �Equation for Target High (Max. HR-RHR) x. 8 + RHR

Target Heart Rate Zones By Age
