Physical Fitness Flashcards
is the ability to perform one’s daily task efficiently without undue fatigue but with extra reserve in case of emergency. It involves the performance of the heart, lungs and muscles of the body thus reduce sedentary behavior.
Physical fitness
is the amount of fat mass compared to lean muscle mass, bone and organs. High levels of fat mass are associated with negative health outcomes, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Body composition
also called as cardiorespiratory endurance or aerobic fitness refers to ability of the heart and lungs to work together to provide the needed oxygen and fuel to the body during sustained workloads.
Cardiovascular endurance
is the range of motion of muscle and connective tissues at a joint or group of joints. It is the ability of a joint or series of joints to move through an unrestricted, pain free range of motion.
Flexibility
is the ability of a particular muscle group to exert force, continuously and repetitively, over a period of time. It refers to fatigue resistance of a particular muscle group.
Muscular endurance
refers to the amount of force a particular muscle group can produce luce in one, all-out effort. It refers to your ability to move and lift objects. It’s measured by how much force you can exert and how much weight you can lift for a short period of time.
Muscular strength
is the ability to perform during games and sports, also called performance fitness. Skill related components are more relevant to certain athletes. Skill related fitness has six components.
skill-related fitness
is the ability to move quickly and to easily change direction. Basketball players, for instance, are incredibly agile.
Agility
is the state of equilibrium. It refers to the ability of the body position to remain upright. It deals with proprioception, or knowing where your body is in space, and being able to adjust your position as your center of gravity changes during movement
Balance
is the ability to execute smooth, accurate, controlled motor responses. (optimal interaction of muscle function).
Coordination
combines speed and strength. Wood (2010) author of Topend Sports Website, defined power as the ability to exert a maximal force in as short a time as possible, as in accelerating, jumping, and throwing implements.
Power
refers to how quickly you can respond to an external stimulus.
Reaction time
refers to the distance traveled per unit of time. It is how fast an object is moving.
Speed
refers to the distance traveled per unit of time. It is how fast an object is moving.
