Health-Related Physical Fitness Components -
includes factors like bone and muscle, is calculated as the lean mass ratio to total body fat.
It relates mainly to the body’s distribution of muscle and fat. This component contains anthropometric procedures such as Body Mass Index (BMI), circumferences, and skin fold assessments.
Body Composition
the ability to perform workouts involving the entire body for a lengthy period at a moderate to high intensity.
It permits the body to efficiently and effectively take in oxygen and supply it to the body’s tissues through the heart, lungs, arteries, vessels, and veins
Cardiovascular Endurance
Refers to the capacity of the muscles and joints to move freely across their complete range of motion without discomfort and is necessary at any age
A full range of motion in the joints can lessen the risk of injury and improve sports performance
Flexibility
— the capacity of a muscle to endure repetitive contractions to generate force against resistance over a lengthy period without getting weary. It boosts whole-body strength, improves posture, and minimizes the chance of accidents
Muscular Endurance
Examples of Muscular Endurance
Repeated exercises such as
curl-ups, running, or
10-15 reps of weight training.
a measure of the most vigorous amount of force that muscles generate during a single maximal effort (contraction) and how much weight you can lift in a brief period
Muscular Strength
It allows one to perform effectively in sports and activities that apply to particular tasks, requiring motor skills for diversely skilled performances and athletic contests
Skill-Related Physical Fitness
It is the ability to quickly alter speed or direction across the body in response to a stimulus.
It is the capacity to move and change direction or position of the body in space with the rapidity and lightness of movement while under control. It demands rapid reactions, coordination, balance, quickness, and accurate response to changing circumstance for maximum balance and control, such as changing directions to hit a tennis ball.
Agility
The capacity of the body to remain upright and to display control over your body even when moving
or example, handstands in gymnastics.
Balance
The capacity to produce smooth, correct, controlled motor responses with the optimal intensity to create proper action.
It uses the senses together with body parts during movement.
It is a complex skill requiring good balance and good levels of other fitness components, such as strength and agility
Coordination
dribbling a basketball. Using hands and eyes together is called
hand-eye coordination.
The ability to move the body parts swiftly while applying the maximum force of the muscles
It is the amount of strength a person can employ during a movement, along with the speed of the action while accelerating, jumping and throwing implements
Power
