Health Related Components
9
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.
10
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
11
Muscular Endurance The ability to efficiently use muscles over a longer period of time. i.e., How LONG can you lift for?
12
Flexibility The ability to move at the joints through the full range of motion (ROM). Stretching muscles gradually helps improve flexibility.
13
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.
