Intensity- how hard a person performs physical activities Time- how long a person performs physical activities Type- the kind of physical activities that a person performs to develop a fitness component or obtain a specific benefit
4
Cardiorespiratory Endurance
Ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity Improves metabolic rate, immune system, prevents against cancer, psychological well-being Maintaining Measuring
5
Cardiorespiratory Endurance
Frequency- 3-5 days a week, more can stress immune system Intensity- T.H.R.- about 75% of the individuals maximum heart rate Time- time depends on intensity. Type- aerobic
6
Muscular Strength & Endurance
Maximum amount of force a muscle can produce in a single effort. Continuing without fatigue. Posture, reduce injuries, improve self image, keep bones dense and strong, Maintaining Measuring
7
Muscular Strength & Endurance
Frequency- use weights 2-4 days a week. Day of rest between workouts Intensity- Begin with weight that can be moved easily for 8-12 times. Add more until 3 sets of ten to twelve reps can be done. Time reps. At least 1 set of each exercise. 3 sets for maximum benefits. Type- depends on what the individual wants to accomplish

Flexibility Ability to bend and move the joints through the full range of motion. Quality of life, prevent and relieve arthritis, improves performance Measuring
9
Flexibility Frequency- 2-3 times a week as part of a cool down for weight training Intensity seconds. Between each stretch there should be seconds. Repeated 3-5 times Time minutes Type- Static, ballistic stretching
