Unit 1: Fitness Testing and Training - Components of Fitness

Componants of fitness
Cardio-Vascular Endurance:Is the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen and fuel to the muscles at a steady rate for a considerable length of time.
Strength:Is the ability for muscles to exert force (e.g holding or restraining an object or person.)
Power:The ability to exert maximum muscular contraction instantly in an explosive burst of movements. The two components of power are strength and speed. (e.g. jumping or a sprint start.)
Agility:The ability to perform a series of explosive power movements in rapid succession in opposing directions (e.g. ZigZag running or cutting movements.)
Balance:The ability to control the body's position, either stationary (e.g. a handstand) or while moving (e.g. a gymnastics stunt.)
Flexibilty:The ability to achieve an extended range of motion without being impeded by excess tissue, i.e. fat or muscle (e.g. executing a leg split.)
Muscular endurance:The ability for a single muscle or a group of muscles to perform sustained work (e.g. rowing or cycling.)
Speed:The ability for the muscles to move an object as fast as possable (e.g 100m sprint.)
Co-ordination:The ability to integrate the above listed components so that effective movements are achieved (e.g Tennis, Baseball pitch and a swing.)
Body composition:Refers to the proportion of fat and fat-free mass in the body. Those with a higher proportion of fat-free mass to a lower proportion of body fat have a healthy body composition.
