Physical Fitness Flashcards
Any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure.
Physical Activity
Physical Activity can be categorized into:
- Occupational
- Sports
- Conditioning
- Household
- Other Activities
Subset of Physical Activity
Exercise
Planned, structured, and repetitive
Exercise
Has a final or immediate objective in the improvement or maintenance of physical fitness
Exercise
A set of attributes that are either health- or skill-related
Physical Fitness
“The ability to carry out daily tasks with vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue, with ample energy to enjoy leisure-time pursuits and to meet unforeseen emergencies.
Physical Fitness

Components of Physical Fitness
- Metabolic Fitness
- Health-related Fitness
- Body Composition
- Skill-related Fitness
Depicts the physiological system’s state of health when they are at rest.
The main reason for VS taking
Metabolic Fitness
The ability of an individual to perform ADLs and have a low risk of premature development of hypokinetic diseases
Health-related Fitness
The relative percentage of fat to fat-free tissue using a two-compartment model.
Body Composition
Aka. Performance-Related Fitness components
Associated with athletic competition but should be considered in the overall fitness of all individuals. These components pertain to the athletic ability of an individual.
Skills Related Fitness
Components of Health-Related Fitness
- Body Composition
- Muscular Fitness
- Cardiovascular Endurance
- Flexibility
Anthropometric Methods/Assessments of Body Composition
- Skin Fold Thickness
- Body Mass Index
- Waist-to-hip ratio
Muscular Fitness has two components
- Muscular Strength
- Muscular Endurance
Exert abilities to exert at high intensities over a short period.
muscular strength
1-RM is the most significant resistance that can be moved through the full range of motion in a controlled manner with good posture.
muscular strength
The ability of the muscle to execute repeated contractions over time
Muscular Endurance
Ability to perform large muscular, dynamic, moderate to high-intensity exercise
VO2 Max is the criterion measure of cardiorespiratory fitness.
Maximum volume of oxygen used.
Cardiovascular Endurance
The ability to move a joint through complete ROM
Use of goniometer
Flexibility
Components of Skill-related fitness
- Balance
- Power
- Coordination
- Agility
Maintain their line of gravity within their base of support.
Static and Dynamic
Somatosensory, visual and vestibular
Balance
The rate at which one can exert a maximal force. Example for this are:
Vertical Jump Test
Hop Test
Power
Use the senses and body parts to perform motor tasks smoothly and accurately.
Coordination
A rapid whole-body movement with change of velocity or direction in response to a stimulus.”
Explosive pow
Agility
Principles of Physical Training
- Overload
- Specificity
- Reversibility
- Individuality
A system must be exercised at a level beyond which it is presently accustomed for a training effect to occur. Stimulus increases until the tissue can no longer adapt.
Important to give rest periods
Overload
Any exercise will train a system for the particular task as the training stimulus.
Depending on the presenting problem, the required task should become part of the training program at an appropriate stage.
Specificity
The beneficial effects of training begin to be lost as soon as training stops. This happens in a similar time frame as it takes to train the system.
Reversibility
Variation in response to a training program will occur in a population as people respond differently to the same training program.
The individual’s initial fitness level, health status, and genetic makeup. Training programs should be designed to take this into account.
Individuality
