Introduction
Based on the illustration below, connect the three pictures to create a sentence or a message associated to fitness
Physical Fitness- is a state of health and well-being and, more specifically, the ability to perform aspects of sports, occupations and daily activities. A
condition that allows the body to effectively cope with the demands of daily activities and still has the energy to enjoy other active leisure activities.
Physical Fitness Physical fitness comprises two related concepts: general fitness (a state of health and well- being), and specific fitness (a task-
oriented definition based on the ability to perform specific aspects of sports or occupations). Physical fitness is generally achieved through correct
nutrition, exercise, hygiene and rest.
Importance of Physical Fitness You’re more likely to live a long and healthy life. Regular exercise reduces the risk of developing heart disease,
high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. It also reduces the risk of having a stroke. In one eight year study of
more than 20,000 men, those who were lean but unfit had twice the risk of death as those who were lean and fit.
1. You’ll have more energy, strength and stamina. People who complain that they don’t have enough energy to exercise fail to realize that working
out gives you energy. In one study, middle-aged women who lifted weights for a year became 27% more active in daily life than before they
started lifting weights. Regular exercise also increases your strength
If you try and lose weight simply by dieting. You’ll lose some muscle along with any body fat you lose and you’ll slow down your metabolism. If
your weight loss program includes exercise, you’ll lose body fat without losing muscle and without slowing down your metabolism. If you’re
currently at a healthy weight, regular exercise will help you avoid putting on excess body fat in the future.
2. You’ll keep excess body fat off.
3. You’ll keep your bones strong. Both men and women start losing bone mass around age 35. Lifting weight can not only stop the loss of bone mass,
but in some cases it can even reverse it. This drastically reduces the risk of osteoporosis. Weight bearing exercises like walking and running also
help keep bones strong.
4. You’ll prevent or reduce low back pale. Strengthening your abdominal and lower back muscles can help prevent low back pain, and it can also
reduce discomfort if you already suffer from this pain. You might also be able to avoid back surgery by strengthening your abdominal and lower
back muscles. In one study, 35 of 38 people who had been recommended for back surgery were able to avoid surgery by following an aggressive
strengthening program.
5. You’ll keep your mind sharp. Multiple studies have confirmed that regular exercise is one of the best things you can do for your mind. Regular
exercise improves brain function, which helps prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
6. You’ll improve your mood. A large amount of research shows that you have a better sense of well-being following a workout. Thanks to chemicals
released in the brain during exercise, feelings of depression, anxiety, stress and anger are diminished during workout.
7. You’ll get sick less often. Both aerobic exercise and weight lifting strengthen the immune system. The stronger your immune system, the less often
you’ll get sick.
8. You’ll sleep better People who exercise regularly fall sleep faster and wake up less often during the night than people who are sedentary.
Activity 1: Write a word that defines Physical Fitness using the Bubble Map

Fitness
Health Related Components. Those factors that are related to how well the systems of your body work The components of Health Related Fitness
are a basis from which to measure our general wellbeing. It is the aim of exercise to improve our capabilities in each of these areas. Different sports
will be more demanding in some, and less demanding in others, but athletes usually strive to achieve a reasonable level of health fitness in each area.
Unless you are focusing on perfecting your body performance for a particularly demanding sport, a balanced level of achievement in each of these
fitness components should be your goal. Your fitness program should include activities and exercises that promote each of these health related fitness
components.
1. Body Composition - Is the ratios of muscle, fat, and bone. It is usually measured as a percentage of fat. Buoyancy is the standard that all body
composition measurement techniques are judged by. Different types of measurements are electric impedance, skin fold and BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) - measure of body mass based on height and weight that aid in determining weight categories.
BMI = Weight in kg
(Height in m) x (Height in m)
2. Flexibility - The ability to bend. It can be measured in the range of motion of different joints.
3. Cardiovascular Endurance - How much oxygen the heart and lungs can deliver to the body while moving for an extended length of time.
4. Muscular Endurance - The length of time a muscle can move a weight for a period of time.
Skills Components. Those aspects of fitness form the basis for successful sport or activity participation.
The components of Skill Related Fitness are not the skills associated with any particular sport, such as running, catching, tackling or kicking, but are
the underlying skills which are brought to bear when participating in a sport. These are important fitness components, not just for sporting ability, but
for use in everyday life. In times of illness, or in ageing, these components are often features of our lives that fail and their levels are
reduced. Exercise and activities that promote skill components of fitness are therefore very important at all ages.
6. Speed - How fast a distance can be traveled in, whether it is the whole body or just a part of the body like the foot for example.
7. Power - Is the strength and speed combined, as in a punch, a fist has no power with no speed.
