- Components of Physical Fitness
- Aerobic Endurance
- Also known as -
cardiorespiratory fitness,
cardiorespiratory endurance, or
aerobic fitness.
- Definition: the ability of the
cardiorespiratory system to
work efficiently, supplying
nutrients and oxygen to working
muscles during sustained
physical activity.
- Cardiovascular
system (circulatory system –
comprising the heart, blood, and
blood vessels) and the
respiratory system (lungs and
airways)
- Responsible for the uptake of
oxygen from the air we breathe,
the transport of nutrients and
oxygen around the body and the
removal of waste products
including carbon dioxide.
- Cardiovascular
system (circulatory system –
comprising the heart, blood, and
blood vessels) and the
respiratory system (lungs and
airways)
- Found in- Long distance
anything e.g. Swimming,
Cycling, Running etc.
- Also known as -
cardiorespiratory fitness,
cardiorespiratory endurance, or
aerobic fitness.
- Muscular Endurance
- Definition – the ability of the
muscular system to work
efficiently, where a muscle can
continue contracting over a period
of time against a light to
moderate fixed resistance load.
- Used in sports such as
Skiing, Rowing, Rugby,
Gymnastics etc.
- Definition – the ability of the
muscular system to work
efficiently, where a muscle can
continue contracting over a period
of time against a light to
moderate fixed resistance load.
- Flexibility
- Definition – Having an adequate
range of motion in all joints of the
body; the ability to move a joint
fluidly through its complete range
of movement.
- Found in - Gymnastics, Dance,
Freestyle Snowboarding etc
- Definition – Having an adequate
range of motion in all joints of the
body; the ability to move a joint
fluidly through its complete range
of movement.
- Speed
- Definition – How quickly an
athlete can cover a distance.
The faster an athlete runs over
a given distance, the greater
their speed
- Distance (Metres) divided by the time
taken (Seconds). Speed is measured in
metres per second (m/s).
- Found in - Nearly every sport to
some degree, especially short
distance runs
- 3 types of speed
- accelerative speed
(sprints up to 30
metres)
- pure speed (sprints up
to 60 metres)
- speed endurance (sprints
with short recovery period
in-between)
- accelerative speed
(sprints up to 30
metres)
- Definition – How quickly an
athlete can cover a distance.
The faster an athlete runs over
a given distance, the greater
their speed
- Muscular Strength
- Definition – the maximum force
(in kg or Newtons) that can be generated
by a muscle or muscle group.
- Found in sports such as
Rugby, Weight lifting etc
- Definition – the maximum force
(in kg or Newtons) that can be generated
by a muscle or muscle group.
- Body Composition
- Definition – the relative ratio of
fat mass to fat-free mass (vital
organs, muscle, bone) in the
body.
- Definition – the relative ratio of
