[blank_start]Cardiovascular[blank_end] disease is a diseased linked to inactivity which is believed to be linked to around 50% of deaths in MEDCs. Exercise reduces insulin resistance, [blank_start]decreases[blank_end] blood pressure/ heart rate and [blank_start]increases[blank_end] heart muscle function. The thermogenic hypothesis states that exercise can reduce symptoms of [blank_start]depression[blank_end] due to an increase in temperature in the brain stem.

The ability of a person to perform a specific task at a particular time with maximum success/efficiency and minimal risk of injury is [blank_start]FITNESS[blank_end]. The abilkity to perform a series of required movements in rapid succession in (usually) opposing movements is [blank_start]AGILITY[blank_end]. A single muscles ability to perform sustained work is [blank_start]MUSCULAR ENDURANCE[blank_end]. The extent to which muscles can exhert maximal force against resistance is [blank_start]STRENGTH[blank_end]. The ability to integrate fitness components so that effective movements are achieved is [blank_start]COORDINATION[blank_end].

The ability to overcome a resistance with fast contraction is called strength endurance.

The fitness continum is

Put the stages of the commitment continium is the correct order: [blank_start]Resistant[blank_end] - [blank_start]Reluctant[blank_end] - [blank_start]Existent[blank_end] - [blank_start]Compliant[blank_end] - [blank_start]Committed[blank_end] - [blank_start]Compelled[blank_end] .
