What components do we need to determine Fitness?

5 Components of fitness Cardiovascular endurance Muscular endurance Muscular strength Flexibility Body composition

Cardiovascular Endurance Ability of your heart, blood vessels, and lungs to have performance duration. The ability to sustain a prolonged stressful effort or activity Ex. Marathon Runner Cardiovascular exercise, also called cardiorespiratory exercise, involves movement that gets your heart rate up to improve oxygen consumption by the body. An essential part of every exercise program, cardio not only helps you lose or maintain weight, it helps you build endurance so you can remain active for a longer period of time.

Muscular Endurance Ability of your muscles to have performance endurance The ability to sustain strength throughout a prolonged stressful effort or activity. Ex. Pull-ups

Muscular Strength Power to resist force Capacity for a short or one time exertion

Flexibility Having a soft tissue range of motion that enables one to perform all movement types demanded of the body during any task without strain or injury.

Body Composition The ratio of fat to muscle to bone to other tissues of the body. Extremely high or low percentages of body fat is dangerous BMI – Body Mass Index

Target Heart Rate Zone (220 – your age ) x .85 = High End (220-your age) x. 65 = Low End 220 – 40= 180 x.85= 153 220 – 40=180 x .65= 117 Count beats and multiply by 6

What is your range? 85% of your maximum heart rate= 176 Your heart should be beating between 135 and 176 to receive cardiovascular benefits. Divide by 6 to get your 10 second range Heart should beat between 22-29 for 10 second count

Physical Activity vs. Exercise Physical Activity: Any body movement carried out by skeletal muscles and requiring energy. Examples: Raking leaves, standing up, carrying a bag of groceries, washing a car
