Categories of Fitness Components 1. Health Related Components 2. Skill Related Components

Health Related Components

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. i.e., How MUCH can your muscles lift at one time? 1 rep max

Muscular Endurance The ability to efficiently use muscles over a longer period of time. i.e., How LONG can you lift for?

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.

Skill Related Components

Agility The ability to change the position of your body and to control the movement of your whole body.

Balance The ability to keep an upright posture while either standing still or moving.

Reaction Time The amount of time it takes to get moving once you see the need to move.

Coordination The ability to link various body movements together with your senses. It also includes moving two or more body parts at the same time.

Speed The ability to cover a distance in a short period of time.

Accuracy The ability to control the movement of one object toward another.

F.I.T.T. In order to increase health related benefits to physical fitness one must incorporate the F.I.T.T. Principle F - Frequency – How often I - Intensity – How hard T - Time – How long T - Type – What exercise

Muscular Strength

Cardiovascular Endurance

Flexibility

S.P.O.R.T. Principle S = Specificity  Your body will adapt to the specific type of training performed.

S.P.O.R.T. Principle P = Progression  Challenge your body’s ability gradually.  Change at least one portion of the FITT principle  Will decrease risk of injury

S.P.O.R.T. Principle O = Overload  Greater then normal load (wt or reps) required to produce training effect.

S.P.O.R.T. Principle R = Reversibility  If you don’t USE it, you will LOSE it.  Fitness results don’t stay constant- must continually work.  Also referred to as “Law of Use”

S.P.O.R.T. Principle T = Training Effect  The adaptions our body makes to the stressors we place upon it.
