Basic Components of Physical Fitness


 There are two basic components of physical fitness; the HEALTH-RELATED
COMPONENTS and the SKILL-RELATED COMPONENTS.

HEALTH-RELATED COMPONENTS
 it pertains to the total functioning of the body. These include:
1. Flexibility
 It is the functional capacity of a joint to move through a normal range of
motion.
 It is the ability to move freely.
2. Muscular Endurance
 When muscles are capable of exerting effort against resistance for a
prolonged period of time, muscle endurance is demonstrated.
 It is the ability of the muscle or muscle groups to perform contractions
repeatedly for extended periods of time.
3. Muscular Strength
 The ability of the muscle groups to contract or to exert effort against a
resistance.
 The development of muscular strength may be considered as both health-
related and skill-related.
4. Cardio-Respiratory Endurance or Fitness
 The capacity of the heart, blood vessels and lungs to adapt to physical
exertion for a prolonged duration.
 Of all the components of physical fitness none is more important than
cardio-respiratory endurance or sometimes called cardiovascular
endurance.
 It is the ability to perform whole-body activities and continue movement
for extended periods without undue fatigue.
 It also supply and transports the oxygen needed by the various tissues
within our bodies.
 It is the basic life support system of the body. Without oxygen, the cells
within the human body cannot function and ultimately death occurs.
 The capacity of the cardio-respiratory system to carry oxygen throughout
the body depends on the coordinated function of four components:
a. the Heart
b. the Blood vessels
c. the Blood
d. the Lungs
5. Body composition
 This refers to both the fat and non-fat components of the body.
 The portion of the total body weight composed of fat tissue is referred to
as percentage of body fat.
 The portion of the total body weight that is composed of non-fat or lean
tissue, which includes tendons, bones, connecting tissues and other parts
referred to as lean body weight.
 In relation to physical fitness, it refers to the proportion between fat and
weight and total lean body weight.
 It is determined by the amount of fat and lean tissue in the body.
 An excess of fat is unhealthy for it requires more energy for movement to
burn it. Exercise therefore is the effective way to control body fat.
SKILL-RELATED COMPONENTS

 consists of fitness components that are important to success in skillful activities and
athletic events, and may not be as crucial to improved health. These include:
1) Coordination
 It is the ability to integrate the senses: visual, auditory and proprioceptive
(knowing the position of the body in space) with motor function to
produce accurate, smooth and skilled movement.
 It is the harmonious working relationship between the skeletal muscles
and nerves in one aspect of movements.
2) Power
 It is a function of both strength and speed.
 It is the ability to perform one explosive muscular effort in a short period
of time.
 It is sometimes confused with strength.
 Speed contraction, likewise is the basic ingredient, which, when combined
with strength, provides an explosive type of movement.
3) Agility
 It is the ability of an individual to quickly shift or change direction of the
body from one point to another.
 It is frequently referred to as quickness.
4) Balance
 It is the ability of an individual to maintain equilibrium in relation to
changes in body position. Balance can be categorized into static and
dynamic balance.
 Static Balance is the ability to maintain equilibrium in a fixed position
such as standing on one foot or on a balance beam.
 Dynamic Balance is the ability to maintain one’s equilibrium while the
body is in motion. Walking in a balance beam is an example of this type of
balance.
5) Speed
 It is the ability to perform a task or move from one point to another in the
shortest possible time.
 To perform particular movement very rapidly.
 It is very important component for successful performance in many
competitive athletic events.
6) Reaction Time
 The time required to response or initiate a movement as a result of a given
stimulus.
 On time reaction on the initial reaction of the stimulus.
