Title: Fitness:


1
Fitness
  • Health related
  • Skill related

2
Physical fitness results from regular physical
activity.
  • Being physically fit means you have the energy
    and ability to perform everyday task and
    responsibilities.
  • Health related fitness is the ability of the
    heart, lungs, muscles and joints to work well
    together.
  • Skill related fitness is the ability to perform
    well in sports and physical activities.

3
Health related fitness includes five components.
  • Muscular strength
  • Muscular endurance
  • Flexibility
  • Cardiovascular endurance
  • Body composition

4
Muscular strength is the amount of force muscles
can exert against resistance.
  • Muscular strength
  • Prevents fatigue
  • Helps with standing, sitting and walking
  • Helps prevent injury or sore muscles
  • Improves performance in sports

5
Some activities can help develop muscle strength.
  • Weight training
  • Pull-ups
  • Sit-ups
  • Push-ups
  • Sports specific activities such as kicking a
    soccer ball or throwing a baseball

6
Muscular endurance is the ability to use the
muscles for a long period of time.
  • Muscular endurance
  • Is required to perform repeated tasks for a long
    period of time without becoming tired.
  • Is necessary to do many daily tasks as well as
    participate in sports.
  • Helps to maintain correct posture.
  • Keeps muscles from becoming tired when hiking,
    working or playing.

7
Activities that improve muscular endurance
include
  • Riding a bike for a mile or more
  • Holding something heavy for long periods of time
  • Running, swimming or rollerblading for long
    period of time
  • Repeating an exercise or activity for long
    periods of time

8
Flexibility is the ability to move the joints
through the full range of motion.
  • Flexibility
  • Keeps the body from getting stiff during the day
  • Helps to prevent injuries
  • Prevents the muscles from shortening due to
    inactivity
  • Is important in many sports, games or activities.

9
Flexibility can be improved by
  • Stretching 20 minutes each day
  • Yoga
  • Dance, ballet
  • Pilates or another fitness program
  • Gymnastics

10
Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the
heart and lungs to provide the body with enough
oxygen during extended periods of physical
activity.
  • Gaining or improving cardiovascular endurance
    when frequency, intensity or amount of time spent
    in exercise is increased.
  • Cardiovascular endurance is also affected by
    heredity and the condition of the body.

11
Cardiovascular endurance is improved by
  • Running a mile or more
  • Swimming for long periods of time
  • Riding a bike for extended time periods
  • Aerobic exercises, dance routines, etc.
  • Walking at a pace that increases the heart rate

12
Body composition is the ratio of body fat to lean
body tissue.
  • The percent of body fat and lean tissue changes
    as a person improves his/her physical fitness.
  • As physical fitness improves the percentage of
    fat tissue decreases and lean tissue or muscle
    increases.
  • When a person is healthy and physically fit,
    his/her body composition has a higher level of
    lean body tissue.

13
Body composition is improved by
  • Aerobic exercises
  • A healthy diet and enough exercise
  • A healthy percentage of body fat is around
    16-19 for males and 22-25 for females.

14
Skill related fitness includes skills that can be
used in physical activities, sports and games
including
  • Agility
  • Balance
  • Coordination
  • Reaction time
  • Speed
  • Power

15
Agility is
  • The ability to move quickly and easily
  • To change directions quickly when moving
  • Used in games and sports as well as daily
    activities

16
Balance is
  • The ability to keep from falling when standing or
    moving
  • Needed for walking, running, jumping and other
    locomotor and nonlocomotor movements

17
Coordination is
  • Using the body parts and senses when you move
  • The body and sense work together successfully to
    allow a person to successfully perform the
    activities they are doing
  • Hand-eye coordination is one specific type of
    coordination used when hitting a ball, catching
    something or even typing.

18
Reaction time is
  • The amount of time it takes to move after a
    person hears, sees, feels or touches a stimulus
  • The less time it takes a person to react, the
    better the reaction time
  • Reaction time is used in sports, games and races,
    but it is also used in driving a car or using
    other motorized machines.

19
Speed is measured by how fast a person moves.
  • Moving quickly is important in sports and games
  • Speed is also important in many daily activities
    such as typing on a computer, dialing the phones,
    etc.

20
Power is the combination of two skills.
  • Power is the combination of strength and speed.
  • Many activities are performed better when a
    person has developed the ability to use their
    strength and speed (or power) together.
  • For example throwing a baseball from the third
    to first for an out requires power.

21
