Physical Fitness Flashcards
is the capacity of the body to do activities without undue exhaustion.
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.
is the ability of the body to change direction quickly and effectively with controlled movement
Agility
Is the ability to maintain an upright posture while in a stationary position or while moving.
Balance
It is the ability to use the different parts of the body in a smooth, quick, and efficiently-controlled movement and exact execution of the skill.
Coordination
refers to the time it takes for your body to respond to a stimulus. This can include visual, auditory, or tactile stimuli.
Reaction time
