Components of Health-related Fitness

Health–related fitness activities are


provided for you to have a better
grasp on the lesson at hand, and they
will equip you with various choices in
selecting the most appropriate
exercises or activities.
Fitness

is defined as a condition in which an


individual has enough energy to
avoid fatigue and enjoy life.
Physical fitness
is the ability of our body to respond
to the many demands of life with
extra energy for leisure and
recreational activities. It is divided
into four health- and six skill-related
components.
Health-related fitness
is the ability to become and stay physically healthy.
Health Components
Cardiorespiratory fitness
Muscular strength and endurance
Flexibility
Body composition
Skill-related fitness
enhances one’s performance in athletic or
sports events.
Skill Components
Agility Speed
Balance Coordination
Power Reaction Time
Cardiovascular fitness
is the ability of the heart (cardio) and
circulatory system(vascular) to supply oxygen
to muscles for an extended period of time.
Cardiovas-cular is also called cardiorespiratory
(lungs) fitness. Usually the 1km run or some
other type of continuous fitness activity (12-
minute run, cycling, step-test, etc.) is used to
assess cardiovascular fitness.
Muscular strength and endurance

is the muscle’s ability to produce


effort or perform work.
Muscular endurance

refers to the ability of the muscle to work


over an extend-ed period of time without
fatigue. Performing push-ups and sit-ups
or crunches for one minute is commonly
used in fitness testing of muscular
endurance.
Muscular strength
refers to the maximum amount of
force a muscle can exert against an
opposing force. Fitness testing
usually consists of a one-time
maximum lift using weights (bench
press, leg press, etc.).
Flexibility
is the ability to move a body part
through a full range of motion
(ROM) at a joint. The sit-and-reach is
commonly used to determine
flexibility.
Body composition
is the ratio of body fat to lean body
mass (including water, bones,
muscles, and connective tissues).
Having too much fat tissue is a risk
fac-tor for cardiovascular diseases,
diabetes, cancer, and arthritis.
In addition to improving quality of life,
health-related fitness also:
1. increases muscle tone and strength;
2. decreases susceptibility to injuries and
illness;
3. improves bone mineral density;
4. reduces risk of osteoporosis;
5. improves posture;
6. increases efficiency of the
respiratory and circulatory systems;
7. decreases risk of cardiovascular
8. disease and stroke;
9. improves blood pressure;
10. decreases risk of diabetes and
some cancers;
11. improves self-esteem and self-
confidence;
12. decreases body fat and improves
metabolism; and
13. increases energy level and
academic achievement.
