Two types of fitness �Physical �AE �ME �F �S �MS �BC fitness �Skill related fitness �A �B �C �P �R

Aerobic Endurance: Definition �“Ability of the cardiorespiratory system to work efficiently. Supplying nutrients and oxygen to working muscles during sustained physical activity” �Also known as: 1. Aerobic Fitness 2. Cardiorespiratory Endurance 3. Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Cardiorespiratory System �Made from: �Cardiovascular system (Circulatory system - Heart, Blood and Blood Vessels) �AND �Respiratory system (Lungs and airways)

Cardiorespiratory system �Breathe oxygen in �Nutrients and oxygen transported around the body �Removes waste (E. g. ) Carbon Dioxide

Why it’s important in Sport � Useful so the performer can “keep going”, without getting tired. � Can perform more effectively during later stages when others are tired. Lots of goals are scored during the last 15 minutes of Football matches � Sports …

Muscular Endurance: Definition �“ Ability of the muscular system to work efficiently, where a muscle can continue contracting over a period of time against a light to moderate fixed resistance workload”

Why it’s important in sport �Needed for the muscles to repeat movements over and over again �Without getting fatigued �(E. g. ) Tennis player that can maintain serve and groundstrokes

Flexibility: Definition �“ Adequate range of motion in all joints of the body ; the ability to move a joint fluidly through it’s complete range of movement”

Why it’s important in sport �Can be useful in preventing muscle and joint injuries from happening �Allows performers to reach/stretch further �(E. g. ) Badminton player being able to reach low down to play a recovering shot. Gymnast performing vaults or routines

Speed: Definition �“Distance a person travels divided by time taken. ” �Speed = Distance / Time �Measured in m/s (metres per second) �Types of speed: 1. Accelerative 2. Pure 3. Speed Endurance

Types of speed �Accelerative (you start moving) �Covering a distance of up to 30 metres �Pure (your maximum speed) �Distance up to 60 metres �Speed Endurance �Short recovery periods in-

Why it’s important in sport � 100 metre race: Quickest sprinter gets to the line first �Rugby winger is too fast for the defender �Defender can’t catch them

Muscular Strength: Definition �“Maximum force measured in kilograms (Kg) or Newtons (N) that can be generated by a muscle or muscle group” �Explosive strength (force exerted in one quick, powerful contraction) �Dynamic strength (force that can be exerted repeatedly my a muscle)

Why it’s important in sport �Weightlifter to be able to lift heavy weight �Footballer being strong in a tackle to win the ball from an opponent �Rugby union player using their force in the scrum

Body Composition: Definition �“Relative ratio of fat mass to fat-free mass (vital organs, muscle and bone) in the body”
