COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS


Metabolic Fitness - It depicts the physiological systems' state of health when they are at rest.

 Blood Pressure - involves indirect measuring the effectiveness of the heartbeat,


adequacy of blood volume and presence of any obstruction to vascular flow using
sphygmomanometer and stethoscope. Normal BP is 120/80.
 Pulse rate - It is the number of throbbing sensations felt over a peripheral artery when
the heart beats. Normal ranges from 60 to 100 pulses per min.
 Blood insulin - Insulin test measures blood samples for the amount circulating insulin,
responsible for blood glucose usage by surrounding tissue.

Health-Related Fitness – also known as Physiological Fitness; the aspect of physiological


function that protects us from inactive lifestyle.

 Body Composition - refers to the percentage of fat, water, bone, muscle, skin, and other
lean tissues that make up the body.
 Muscular Endurance – ability of a muscle or group of muscles to exert force
consistently and repetitively over a period of time.
 Muscular Strength – body’s ability to lift and move objects.
 Cardiovascular Endurance – ability of your heart, blood vessels, and lungs to supply
oxygen rich blood to working muscles during physical activity for a prolonged period of
time.
 Cardiorespiratory Endurance - ability to perform large muscle, dynamic, moderate to
high intensity exercise for prolonged periods.
 Flexibility - ability to move your joints through a complete range of motion without pain
or restriction.

BMI - key index relating a person’s body weight to height. (a higher BMI score usually
indicates higher levels of body fat)

BM I= M/(H*H), where M = body mass in kilograms and H= height in meters

Skill-Related Fitness - also known as performance-related fitness components.

 Balance - ability of an individual to maintain their line of gravity within their base of
support. It can be classified into static and dynamic.
 Coordination - It is the ability to use the senses, such as sight and hearing, together with
body parts in performing motor tasks smoothly and accurately.
 Power - It is the rate at which one is able to exert maximal force.
 Agility - defined as “a rapid whole-body movement with change of velocity or direction
in response to a stimulus”.
 Speed - ability to perform a movement within a short period of time.
 Reaction Time – the amount of time it takes to a stimulus.
