Cardiovascular fitness
Ability of heart, lungs, vessels, to deliver oxygen to the muscles
Muscular strength
Amount of force a muscle can exert in a short period of time
Flexibility
Movement of the body through a range of motion
Muscular endurance
Ability to use muscles and exert force over an extended period of time
Dynamic stretching
Stretching while performing active body movements and motions, lunges
Static stretching
Stretching while remaining in one place, toe touches
Agility
Ability to change direction quickly and in control
Balance
Ability to maintain equilibrium while stationary or moving
Coordination
Ability to use the senses with the body parts to perform motor tasks smoothly and accurately
Power
Ability to transfer energy to force at a fast rate
Aerobic activity
Physical activity to improve oxygen system at moderate levels over extended period of time, continuous rhythmical activities, cardio
Speed

Bpm
Beats per minute
Heart rate
Number of times heart beats in one minute
Mhr (maximum heart rate)
220-age. The highest number of times your heart can contract in one minute
Thr target heart rate
Desired heart rate to receive max benefit from a workout
50-85% of max heart rate
Rhr resting heart rate
Number if beats per minute at rest
Best to take right after waking up
Normal is 60-80
Consistent training decreases rhr, low rhr means fitness
Pulse
Number of time heart beats per minute felt in arteries when heart beats
