COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS:

SKILL RELATED FITNESS COMPONENTS:

 Agility- is the ability to change the direction of the body in an
efficient and effective manner.
*AGILITY LADDER
STOCK*
Agility ladder drills get
your heart pumping and
are a great form of
cardio. Getting your
heart rate up through
cardiovascular exercise
is a great way to keep
your heart healthy and
strong. The Centers for
Disease Control
recommends a
minimum of 150
minutes of heart-
pumping cardio per
week; agility ladder
training can certainly
be a part of that
 Balance- the ability of an individual to maintain their center of
gravity within a base of support.
*yoga*s a type of exercise in which you move your body into various positions in order to become more
fit or flexible, to improve your breathing

 Coordination-is being able to move and use your body effectively

and multiple people or things working well together.

*agility and coordination has to do with

Each other, enable to achieve such speed

And posture, your body must coordinate*

 Reaction time- is the ability to respond quickly to a stimulus. It

important in many sports and day to day activities.

*reaction time also has to do with agility, balance, and

coordination, in order to be alert and aware in what ever situation
you are either in sports or not*
 Strength or power- the ability to carry out work against a
resistance. Strength is the maximal force you can apply against a
load.

*once you use power or

strength of your body, it
has to be coordinated to
each body parts and
muscles strength*

 Speed-Speed is the ability to move quickly across the ground or

move limbs rapidly to grab or throw.

*Speed is not just how fast someone can run

(or cycle, swim etc.), but is dependent on
their acceleration (how quickly they can
accelerate from a stationary position),
maximal speed of movement, and also speed
maintenance (minimizing deceleration).
Movement speed requires good strength and
power, but also too much body weight
and air resistance can act to slow the person
down.*
 HEALTH-RELATED FITNESS COMPONENTS:

 Cardio-vascular - cardiovascular exercise is any form of activity

that uses aerobic metabolism. That is, during the activity, oxygen
is heavily involved in the cellular reactions that produce the
energy necessary to sustain the activity. Your heart rate increases
and you breathe more deeply to maximize the amount of oxygen
in your blood and help you to use more oxygen efficiently. Hence,
you feel more energized and do not get tired quickly.
Ex.
-walking -running
-jogging -cycling
 Muscular endurance- is the ability of a muscle or group of
muscles to perform repetitive contractions against a force for an
extended period of time. The greater your muscular endurance the
higher number of repetitions you could complete.
Ex.
-Planking -Curl ups
-Crabs push up -push up
 Muscular strength- Muscular strength is the amount of force you
can put out or the amount of weight you can lift.
Ex.
-sit ups -squat jumps
-shoulder presses -pull ups
 Flexibility- can be defined as “the range of motion in a joint or
group of joints, or the ability to move joints effectively through a
complete range of motion.”
Ex.
-Straddle stretches -quad stretches
-sit and reach -toe touches

 Body composition- is the proportion of fat and non-fat mass in

your body. A healthy body composition is one that includes a
lower percentage
 Power in this sense is the ability to transform physical energy into
force at a fast rate, with emphasis placed on the speed of the
action.
Ex.
-standing long jump
-vertical jump
