What is cardiovascular fitness?
The ability of a heart, lungs and muscles to take in transport and utilise oxygen during exercise
Activities that improve the efficiency of the heart, lungs and circulatory system include swimming, running, cycling, rowing, dancing
During cardiovascular activity, there is an increase in heart rate and breathing rate, thus increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery to the body which produces energy aerobically. This is felt by the pulse quickening and breathing getting deeper.
What is muscular endurance?
The ability of the muscles to work continuously with low to moderate resistance
Sessions involving high repetitions and low resistance require muscular endurance
Daily activities that are defined as a muscular endurance include carrying shopping, climbing stairs, maintaining optimal posture and gardening
Define muscular strength
The ability of the muscles to exert maximum force against high resistance
Strength focus activities involve lifting, heavy resistance for lower repetitions and lifting heavyweights or moving heavy objects
Muscular strength is useful for enabling people to produce a greater amount of force when required while minimising. The amount of effort required to perform submaximal every day tasks.
What is flexibility?
The ability to move joint effectively through a full range of motion
Flexibility is specific to each individual and can vary enormously examples of activities that require good flexibility, including yoga, dance, martial arts
Daily activities that require flexibility include body, bend, twist, moving through four ranges of motion
