Health-related Fitness Components

Health-related Fitness Components

Cardiovascular Endurance – is the ability of the heart and lungs to work

together to provide the needed oxygen and fuel to the body during sustained

workloads. Examples would be jogging, cycling and swimming.

Muscular Strength – is the amount of force a muscle can produce.

Examples would be the bicep curl, leg press and push up.

Muscular Endurance – is the ability of the muscles to perform continues

without fatiguing. Examples would be cycling and sit up test.

Flexibility – is the ability of each joint to move through the available range of

motion for a specific joint. Examples would be stretching individual muscle or

the ability to perform certain functional movements such as lunge, sit and

reach.

Body Composition – is the amount of fat mass compared to lean muscle

mass, bone and organs.
