Flexibility: Ability to move a body part through a full range of motion Body Composition: Ratio of body fat to lean body tissue, including muscle, bone, water, and connective tissue such as ligaments, cartilage, and tendons Muscle Endurance: Ability of the muscles to perform physical tasks over a period of time without becoming fatigued. Muscular Strength: Amount of force a muscle can exert.
