-HEALTH RELATED FITNESS
-SKILL RELATED FITNESS
The ability of the heart, blood vessels, blood, and respiratory system to support oxygen and fuel to the muscles at a steady rate for a considerable length of time. A fit person can persist in physical activity for relatively long periods without undue stress.
Cardiorespiratory Endurance
The ability of the muscle to exert
force against resistance. A fit person can do work or play that involves exerting force, such as lifting or controlling one’s own body weight.
Muscular Strength
The ability of the muscles to
repeatedly exert force against resistance or to sustain muscular contraction. A fit person can repeat movements for a long period without undue fatigue.
Muscular Endurance
The ability to move the body joints
through a full range of motion(ROM) without
discomfort or pain. It Is affected by muscle length, joint structure and other factors. A fit person can move the body joints through a full range of motion in work and in play.
FLEXIBILITY
The relative percentage of muscle fat bone and other tissues that comprise the body, A fit person has relatively low, but not too low, percentage of body fat (body fatness). Body mass index (BMI) is a measurement tool that compares your height to your weight and gives you an indication of whether you are overweight, underweight or at a healthy weight for your height.
Body Composition

performance-related fitness or sports/motor fitness because people who possess them find it easy to achieve high levels of performance in motor skills, such as those required in sports and specific
skill-related fitness components
The ability to quickly and accurately change the direction of the movement of the entire body in space. Skiing and wrestling are examples of activities that require exceptional agility.
AGILITY
The ability to maintain equilibrium while stationary or moving. Water skiing, performing on the balance beam, or

body parts to perform activities smoothly and accurately. Juggling, hitting a golf ball, batting a baseball, or kicking a ball are examples of activities requiring good coordination.
COORDINATION
The time elapsed between stimulation and
the start of reaction to that stimulation. Driving a racing car and starting a sprint race require good reaction time.
Reaction Time
The ability to transfer energy into force at a
fast rate. Throwing the discus and putting the shot are activities that require considerable power.
POWER
The ability to perform a movement in a
short period of time.
SPEED
