3 Models to Best Describe Health
● Medical
● Environmental
● Holistic
ability to use our joints to go through a full range of motion.
Flexibility
bending a body segment.
Flexion
straightening a body segment.
Extension
moving a limb away from the body.
Abduction
moving a limb towards the body.
Adduction
perform a stretching with a partner.
Passive-assisted stretch
stretching a segment to the farthest point and holding it for a time.
Static stretch
stretching which involves bouncing or jerking of a body segment.
Ballistic stretch
type of stretching which involves movements and static exercise at
the same time.
Dynamic stretch
- ability of the lungs, heart and blood vessels to deliver
oxygen to our body tissues during a strenuous workout
Cardiovascular Endurance
heartbeats per minute while at rest. (normal RHR: 60-100
bpm.)
Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
heartbeats per minute that an individual may reach given
the intensity of workout. (formula: BPM minus the present age.)
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)
heartbeats per minute is obtained right after an exercise or
workout. Beginners’ minimum effort during a workout is 60% (formula: MHR multiplied by
the 60% = THR.)
Training Heart Rate (THR)
- heartbeats per minute taken 5-10 minutes after your strenuous
workout and cooldown exercises.
Recovery Heart Rate
is the amount of force our muscles can produce. Strength is often
measured by how much weight we can lift.
Muscular Strength
- ability to use our muscles to perform an exercise/activity for a
prolonged period of time
Muscular Endurance
is the proportional amount of fats, muscles and bones in our body.
Body Composition
refers to long and lean, with little body and muscle.

refers to solid, athletic and strong individuals.
Mesomorph
refers to lots of body fats, lots of muscles and they gain weight
easily.
Endomorph
measures the thickness of subcutaneous fat.
Skinfold Caliper
measurement of body fat based on height and weight
of an individual.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
measures the circumference of a
specific body part/s for body fat estimation.
Body Circumference Measurements
method which requires the person to be submerged in
water after exhaling as much air as possible.
Hydrostatic Weighing
ratio of waist circumference as against your hip hip
circumference, calculated by dividing the waist circumference with the hip
circumference.
Waist to hip ratio
the ability of an individual to shift from one direction or position with ease and
comfort.
Agility
is the ability of an individual to sustain equilibrium or in an upright position
while standing or moving.
Balance
is the ability of an individual to sustain equilibrium or in an upright position
while standing or moving.
Balance
the harmonious relationship of movement between the skeletal muscles
Coordination
the ability to perform one (1) explosive effort in a small amount of time.
Power
the ability to move from one point to another in a small amount of time.
