The ability to keep going throughout the day, e.g. delivering post.
The ability to reach in all directions and help prevent injury, e.g. to get a plate from a high cupboard.
The ability to lift, carry, pull and push objects, e.g. to carry heavy shopping.
The ability to move the body or a limb fast, e.g. to catch a falling cup.
We all need a minimum level of fitness to cope with everyday life.
Physical Fitness - Key Points
This level depends upon the demands of each person’s daily life, e.g. a manual worker will need more strength than a computer operator.
To take part in sport you will need a much higher level of fitness, e.g. to play badminton the person will need better speed, stamina, strength and suppleness, than someone who does not do any sport.
Stamina to last thewhole game
Speed to get to the shuttleand play the shot
Suppleness to reach high, lowand wide, when playing a shot
Strength to jump, moveand play shots
Top sports people require a certain combination of fitness to perform well, e.g. a hockey player will need high levels of speed, stamina, strength and suppleness.
Stamina to last the whole game
Speed to move with the ball, to receive a pass, score, or to tackle a player
Suppleness to reach low, wide and help avoid injury when playing
Strength to tackle, sprint, pass or hit the ball
Being fit means different things to different people. A marathon runner may not be fit enough to weight lift. So if you ask the question, “are you fit?”, you should also ask “fit for what?”
