what are the components of fitness?
Agility.
balance
Cardiovascular endurance
Coordination
Flexibility
Muscular endurance
Power
Reaction time
Strength
Speed
define agility
The ability to change direction quickly at speed whilst maintaining control
define balance
The ability to keep the body stable by maintaining the centre of mass over the base of support
define cardiovascular endurance
The ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the working muscles
define coordination
The ability to use two or more body parts together smoothly and efficiently
define flexibility
The range of movement possible at a joint
Define muscular endurance
The ability of a muscle group to undergo repetitive contractions avoiding fatigue
define power
It is a product of strength and speed
power = strength x speed
define reaction time
The time it takes for your brain to respond to a stimulus
Define strength ( both types )
The ability to overcome resistance:
. Maximal strength: greatest force that is possible in a single max muscle contraction.
. Static strength: the amount of force exerted on something you can’t move.
Define speed
The maximum rate at which an individual is able to perform a movement or cover a distance in a period of time
Explain the Illinois agility test
. Mark out the course to exact measurements of 10 m.
. Participant starts in face down line position at the start line.
. participant runs 10 m up and down then runs up and down weaving in between cones set out And then finishes with a 10 meter sprint back and forth.
. a non-participant measures the time using a stopwatch usually measured in seconds
explain the stork stand test
. Participant puts their hands on hips and lifts one leg up.
. participant raises their heel and holds this position
. Non-participant measures how long they hold the balance successfully.
. Measured in minutes and seconds.
Explain the multi stage fitness test
. Mark out a 20 meter course.
. Participant runs to either side of the course once they hear the beep.
. Participant continues to go until exhaustion.
explain the wall toss test
. participant stands 2 m from a smooth surface wall.
. Participant throws ball against wall with one hand and catches with the other.
. Non-participant count number of successful catches in 30 seconds.
explain the sit and reach test
. Remove shoes and position against the reach box against the wall.
. Knees completely completely locked and straight and reach forward with one hand on top of the other.
. Stretch and hold for two seconds whilst non-participant records score.
