- this is the most important fitness component because it has so many benefits:
a. it reduces heart disease, lowers cholesterol level, lowers blood pressure at rest, lowers heart rate at rest.
b. strengthen the function efficiency of the heart and lungs
c. improves body composition
Tested: 1 mile run, 3 min step test
Cardiovascular Endurance
the ability of the muscles to exert a force. The maximum amount of force that a muscle can generate in a single maximal effort.
Tested: bench press, leg press
1 RM or 1 repetition maximum = the maximum heaviness one can lift one time. OR
A max. weight one can lift for 10 repetitions represents 75% of what you can lift in 1 rep)
Muscular Strength
the ability to efficiently use muscles over a longer period of time. The ability of a muscle to repeatedly contract or sustain continuous contraction involving less than the maximum force.
Tested: push-up test, 1 min sit-up test
Muscular Endurance
the ability to move at the joints through a full range of motion.
Tested:
Trunk flexion – sit and reach test
Shoulder flexibility – zipper test
Flexibility
the amount of body weight that is fat compared to muscles, bones and other body tissues.
Tested: BMI and Body Fat percentage
Body Composition
speed
power
agility
balance
reaction time
coordination
Skill-Related Fitness
