Physical FitnessPhysical Fitness Fitness Fitness is the ability to handle is the ability to handle the physical work and play of the physical work and play of everyday lifeeveryday life
Physical fitness is not a singular Physical fitness is not a singular thing—it involves a number of thing—it involves a number of componentscomponents– To say that someone is physically fit To say that someone is physically fit is to say that he or she is is to say that he or she is conditioned in all of these areasconditioned in all of these areas
– Weakness in any of the areas Weakness in any of the areas indicates a sub-optimal fitness levelindicates a sub-optimal fitness level
Components of Components of Physical FitnessPhysical Fitness
1.1. Muscular strength- Muscular strength- the ability of the the ability of the muscles to apply a forcemuscles to apply a force– Importance- Importance- improved function in improved function in
everyday life, ability to act in everyday life, ability to act in emergency, and performance in emergency, and performance in competitive taskscompetitive tasks
2.2. Muscular endurance- Muscular endurance- how long the how long the muscles can go without tiring outmuscles can go without tiring out– Importance- Importance- improved task performance in improved task performance in
everyday life and competitioneveryday life and competition
3.3. Flexibility- Flexibility- the ability to move the the ability to move the joints freely and easilyjoints freely and easily– Importance- Importance- reduced risk of injury, reduced risk of injury,
improved performance in competitive improved performance in competitive taskstasks

4.4. Cardiorespiratory fitness- Cardiorespiratory fitness- how well how well the heart and lungs work together the heart and lungs work together to deliver oxygen to the bodyto deliver oxygen to the body– Importance- Importance- reduced risk of heart reduced risk of heart
disease, improved performance in disease, improved performance in everyday and competitive taskseveryday and competitive tasks
5.5. Body composition- Body composition- the proportion of the proportion of fat to lean mass on the bodyfat to lean mass on the body– Importance- Importance- reduced risk of chronic reduced risk of chronic
disease, expanded physical capabilitiesdisease, expanded physical capabilities
Adaptations to Adaptations to ExerciseExercise Adaptation- Adaptation- changes to an changes to an organism in response to its organism in response to its environmentenvironment
Exercise Exercise is physical activity is physical activity that develops fitnessthat develops fitness
Different types of exercise are Different types of exercise are necessary to improve the necessary to improve the different components of fitnessdifferent components of fitness
Adaptations to Adaptations to ExerciseExercise Muscular Strength Muscular Strength
– Resistance training Resistance training results in the results in the increase of size and/or number of increase of size and/or number of muscle fibersmuscle fibers
Muscular Endurance Muscular Endurance – High repetition, low resistanceHigh repetition, low resistance
training improves muscular training improves muscular enduranceendurance
– Through such training, the muscle Through such training, the muscle fibers become better able to fibers become better able to produce energy (aerobically) to produce energy (aerobically) to keep goingkeep going
Adaptations to Adaptations to ExerciseExercise Cardiorespiratory Fitness Cardiorespiratory Fitness
– AerobicAerobic training results in training results in increased heart strength and increased heart strength and improved oxygen delivery to cellsimproved oxygen delivery to cells
– Aerobic exercise- Aerobic exercise- nonstop, nonstop, rhythmic, vigorous activity that rhythmic, vigorous activity that increases breathing and heartbeat increases breathing and heartbeat ratesrates
– The heart is a muscle, and training The heart is a muscle, and training it results in strength gains like it results in strength gains like those of skeletal musclethose of skeletal muscle
A stronger heart can pump blood out to A stronger heart can pump blood out to the body more efficientlythe body more efficiently
