Health Related Components of Fitness
Cardiovascular Endurance
The ability of the heart, blood vessels, and lungs to supply oxygen and necessary fuel to the muscles during exercise.
Activities that develop cardiovascular fitness are those which increase the heart rate in the target zone for a period of time
without stopping.
Muscular Strength
The ability of the muscles to exert a force.
Muscles become stronger when they are exercised against a gradually increasing resistance, or weight. With no exercise,
muscles become weak and begin to atrophy.
Muscular Endurance
The ability to efficiently use muscles over a longer period of time.
While good strength allows you to lift more, good endurance allows you to lift more repetitions.
Flexibility
The ability to move at the joints through the full range of motion (ROM).
Stretching muscles gradually helps improve flexibility.
Body Composition
The amount of body weight that is fat compared to muscles, bone, and other body tissue.
Those with normal % of body fat are less likely to be ill, suffer from a poor body image, and die an early death.
List some benefits of fitness.
