2. Two Kinds of Physical Fitness

a. Health-related physical fitness is essentially connected with illness prevention
and health. Taking part in regular health-related fitness helps you control your
weight, averts diseases, enhances your mood, boosts energy, and promotes
better sleep.
i. Flexibility - The ability of the joints to move through their full range of
motion.
ii. Cardiorespiratory Endurance - The ability of your heart, blood vessels,
lungs, and blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients to all of your body's cells
while you are being physically active.
iii. Muscular Strength - The amount of force that a muscle can apply in a
given contraction.
iv. Muscular Endurance - The ability of the muscles to keep working
(contract) over a period of time.
v. Body Composition - Refers to the ration of lean body tissue (muscle &
bone) to body-fat tissue.
b. Skill-related physical fitness refers to the fitness level needed to perform certain
fitness activities well.
i. Agility - The ability to change the position of your body and to control the
movement of your whole body.
ii. Balance - The ability to keep an upright posture while either standing still
or moving.
iii. Power - The ability to perform with strength at a rapid pace. Strength and
speed are both involved in power.
 iv. Reaction Time - The amount of time it takes to start a movement once
your senses signal the need to move.
v. Coordination - The integration of eye, hand, and foot movements.
vi. Speed - The ability to cover a distance in a short amount of time.

3. Examples of Physical Activities related to each component

a. Health-related Physical Fitness
i. Flexibility - Warm-up or cool down, & dynamic or static stretches
ii. Cardiorespiratory Endurance - walking, swimming, or bicycling.
iii. Muscular Strength - Anaerobic activities such as weight lifting are good to
develop muscular strength and endurance.
iv. Muscular Endurance - Anaerobic activities such as weight lifting are good
to develop muscular strength and endurance.
v. Body Composition – Daily exercise.
b. Skill-related Physical Fitness
i. Agility - Agility is an important quality in many sports, because you must
change direction rapidly and always have your body under control.

iii. Power - Football players, swimmers, shot-putters, discus throwers, and
high jumpers are examples of athletes who typically have a high degree
