Strength Cardio respiratory Local muscular endurance Flexibility Body composition
Flexibility
The movement available by our joints usually controlled by the length of our muscles
Benefits of flexibility
Prevents injury
Improved posture
Maintains healthy joints
Increases speed and power of muscle contraction
Improves balance during movement
Body composition

Skill and performance related fitness components
Speed Power Agility Balance Coordination Reaction time
Speed
The ability to put body parts into motion quickly or the max rate a person can move at a specific distance
Genetically determined by fast twitch fibers
Power
The ability to exert maximum muscular power instantly in an explosive motion
Agility
The ability to change direction and position of the body quickly and effectively
Factors influencing agility
Speed
Coordination
Flexibility
Balance
Balance
The maintenance of the center of mass over the base of support while static or dynamic
Coordination
The ability to use the body parts and senses together to produce smooth efficient movements
Reaction time
The interval of time between the presentation of a stimulus and the initiation of s muscular response
What is skill related fitness
Based on the neuromuscular system and determines how successful an individual can perform a certain skill
What is health related fitness
Physiologically based and determines the individuals ability to meet the physical demand of an activity
