Physical Fitness
Physical fitness can be divided into two distinct categories:
Health-related fitness
Skill-related fitness
Exercises that are done with the intention of improving one’s physical health and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are included in the concept of health-related fitness.
Health-related fitnes
The five components of health-related fitness include:
cardiorespiratory endurance
muscle strength
muscular endurance
flexibility
body composition.
is the ability of the lungs, heart, and blood vessels to deliver enough oxygen to the cells to meet the needs of long-term physical activity.
Cardiorespiratory endurance
is the capacity of the muscle to produce force during a relatively short period of time. Push-ups, sit-ups, lifting, squats, and lunges promote muscular strength.
Muscular Strength
is the highest amount of force that a muscle group is able to pull or push in a single contraction. Circuit training, and bodyweight exercises are all good ways to build muscle endurance.
Muscular Endurance
is the ability of a joint or group of joints to move through their full range of motion without pain or restriction.
Even though flexibility varies a lot from person to person, everyone needs to stay within certain minimum ranges to keep their joints and bodies healthy.
Flexibility
is how much of your body is made up of fat, bone, and muscle. Body composition is a way for health professionals to figure out if a person is at a healthy weight for their body.
Body composition
is the capacity to perform during games and sports. This level of physical fitness is needed to be able to perform the more technical parts of a wide range of sports.
Skill-related fitness
The six components of skill-related fitness include:
agility
balance
coordination
power
reaction time
speed.

refers to why and how people eat, which foods they eat, and with whom they eat, as well as the ways people obtain, store, use, and discard food. Individual, social, cultural, religious, economic, environmental, and political factors all influence people’s eating habits.
eating habits
There are many factors that determine what foods a person eats. In addition to personal preferences, there are cultural, social, religious, economic, environmental, and even political factors.
influences on food choices
Every individual has unique likes and dislikes concerning foods. These preferences develop over time and are influenced by personal experience such as encouragement to eat, exposure to a food, family customs and rituals, advertising, and personal values.
individual preference
A cultural group provides guidelines regarding acceptable foods, food combinations, eating patterns, and eating behaviors. Compliance with these guidelines creates a sense of identity and belonging for the individual.
Cultural influence
Members of a social group depend on each other, share a common culture, and influence each other’s behaviors and values. A person’s membership in particular peer, work, or community groups impacts food behaviors.
Social Influence
Religious proscriptions range from a few to many, from relaxed to highly restrictive. This will affect a follower’s food choices and behaviors.
Religious influence
Money, values, and consumer skills all affect what a person purchases. The price of food, however, is not an indicator of its nutritional value. Cost is a complex combination of a food’s availability, status, and demand.
economic influences
The influence of the environment on food habits derives from a composite of ecological and social factors. Foods that are commonly and easily grown within a specific region frequently become a part of the local cuisine.
