8 specific components of physical fitness
Organic Vigor
Endurance
Strength
Power
Flexibility
Agility
Balance
Speed
refers to the soundness of the heart and lungs which contributes to the ability to resist disease.
Organic Vigor
the ability of the muscle to exert effort against a resistance.
Strength
is the ability to sustain long continued contractions where a number of muscle groups are used
Endurance
the capacity to bear or last long in a certain task
without undue fatigue.
Endurance
refers to the ability of the muscles to release maximum force in the shortest period of time.
Power
is a quality of plasticity which gives the ability to do a wide range of movement.
Flexibility
– is the capacity to sustain the application of force without yielding or breaking;
Strength
ability of the individual to change direction or position in space with quickness and lightness of movement.
Agility
ability to control organic equipment neuro – muscularly; a state of equilibrium.
Balance
ability to make successive movements of the same kind in the shortest period of time.
Speed
two basic components of physical fitness:
Health – Related Components:
Skill – Related Fitness
The ability of the heart and lungs to function
efficiently and effectively over a prolonged period of time.
Cardio – respiratory Endurance
ability of muscle group to contracts against a
resistance.
Muscular Strength
The ability to continue selected muscle group movements
for a prolonged period of time.
Muscular Endurance
The functional capacity of a joint to move through a normal range of motion. The muscular system is also involved.
Flexibility
One of the newer attributes in physical fitness components.
It refers to the relative distribution of lean and fat body tissues.
Body Composition
it means under or too little,
hypo
it means movement or activity
kinetic
this disease is one associated with lack of physical activity or too little regular exercise.
hypokinetic
its Examples of such conditions include heart disease, low back pain, adult-onset diabetes and obesity.

give the 5 health-related components
Cardio – respiratory Endurance

Muscular Endurance
Flexibility
Body Composition
give the 6 skill-related fitness
Balance
Coordination
Agility
Speed
Power
Reaction Time
– It involves vision, reflexes, and the skeletal muscular system which provides the maintenance of equilibrium.
Balance
its example: water skiing, performing on
balance beam or working as a riveter on a high rise building are activities that require exceptional balance.
Balance
– It is the ability to integrate the senses with muscles so as to
produce accurate, smooth, and harmonious body movement.
Coordination
It is the capacity to change the direction of the body quickly and
effectively.
Agility
Ability to rapidly and accurately change direction of the movement
Agility
these two activities require exceptional agility.
Skiing and wrestling
It is the ability to move one’s body from one point to another in the shortest possible time.
Speed
is sometimes confused with strength.
Power
its Speed of contraction,
likewise, is the basic ingredient which, when combined with strength, provides and explosive type of movement.
Power
Ability to transfer energy into a force at a fast
rate. Example : throwing the discus
Power
The time required to respond or initiate a movement as a result
of a given stimulus.
Reaction Time
driving a racing car and starting a sprint race are examples of what skill-related fitness?
Reaction Time
these components of physical fitness are more associated with
performance than good health.
