Physical education focuses on developing five components of fitness: cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity, and can be improved by performing physical activities for at least 20 minutes. Flexibility refers to the ability to move joints through their full range of motion, and can be improved by stretching muscles for at least 30 seconds. The FITT formula outlines the frequency, intensity, time, and type of physical activities needed to develop each component of fitness.

2- 5 FITNESS COMPONENTS: 1. Cardiorespiratory Endurance 2. Muscular Strength 3. Muscular Endurance 4. Flexibility 5. Body Composition 3- RESPIRATORY= breathing 4. ENDURANCE= being able to keep going even when it is hard. 5- AERO= Air 6- OBIC= life 7- CARDIO = HEART 8- CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE = is the ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity. 9- HOW LONG DO I NEED TO DO THE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN ORDER TO WORK MY CARDIO? At least 20 minutes 10- FLEXABILITY The ability to bend and move the joints through the full range of motion. 11- HOW LONG BO I NEED TO STRETCH IN ORDER TO STRETCH MY MUSCLE PROPERLY? At least 30 seconds. 12- DOES STRETCHING HELP MINIMIZE OR PREVENT INJURIES? Yes 13- DOES STRETCHING RELAX YOUR BODY? Yes 14- THE FITT FORMULA F- Frequency is how often you will perform physical activity I- Intensity is how hard you will perform physical activities T- Time is how long you will perform physical activities T- Type is the kind of physical activities you will perform to develop a fitness component or obtain a specific benefit 15. STATIC STRETCHING a stretch is held in a challenging but comfortable position for a period of time, usually between 30 to 60 seconds. 16. DYNAMIC STRETCHING a stretch is performed by moving through a challenging but comfortable range of motion repeatedly, until 10 to 12 times. 17. PASSIVE STRETCHING means you’re using some sort of outside assistance to help you achieve a stretch. (This assistance could be your body weight, a strap, leverage, gravity, another person, or a stretching device.) 18. ACTIVE STRETCHING means you’re stretching a muscle by actively contracting the muscle in opposition to the one you’re stretching. You do not use your body weight, a strap, leverage, gravity, another person, or a stretching device. With active stretching, you relax the muscle you’re trying to stretch and rely on the opposing muscle to initiate the stretch. 19. LIGAMENT a short band of tough, flexible fibrous connective tissue which connects two bones or cartilages or holds together a joint. (Bone to bone) 20. TENDON a flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibrous collagen tissue attaching a muscle to a bone. (Muscle to bone) 21. CARTILAGE is a flexible connective tissue that keeps joint motion fluid by coating the surfaces of the bone in our joints and by cushioning bones.
