CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS 1. This is also sometimes known as stamina and is the

ability  of your body to continuously provide enough energy to sustain submaximal levels of
exercise. 

MUSCULAR STRENGTH 2. It is the ability of a muscle or muscles to exert maximal 

force to overcome a resistance.  
MUSCULAR ENDURANCE 3. It is the ability of a muscle to make continuous
contractions over a set period of time whilst resisting fatigue.  
FLEXIBILITY 4. This is the range of movement possible at joints within the  body.  
BODY COMPOSITION 5.It is the mount of muscle, fat, bone, cartilage etc. that 
makes up our body.  
SPEED 6. The ability to move one or more body parts quickly.
  POWER 7.It is the product of strength and speed. It is when we move  as quickly and as
forcefully as we can.  
REACTION TIME 8. Is how quickly the brain can respond to a stimulus and  initiate a
response.  
COORDINATION 9. The ability to use the body parts and senses together to  produce
smooth efficient movements.  
BALANCE 10. A ability to maintain equilibrium whilst moving or  stationary.  
AGILITY 11. This is an ability to change the direction and the speed at  which you are
travelling, quickly and efficiently.  
ENDOMORHS 12. A rounded shape and are suited to strength/power events  such as
wrestling and throwing events.  
MESOMORPHS 13. Having an athletic build and are suited to sprint events  and

ECTOMORPHS 14. A slim build, low body fat percentage and are suited to  endurance

DIET 15.When exercising the body requires sufficient quantities  of substances for energy,
growth and repair. A diet that lacks in quality can lead to fatigue,  increased levels of adipose

  ACTIVITY LEVEL/TYPE 16. The frequency, intensity, type and time of activities will  be a
large factor as to the physiological progressions to the human body.  
PHYSICAL DISABILITIES 17. There are many disabilities that can cause physical 
impairment, however exercise adaptations can help correct/enhance body functioning with 
targeted exercises.  
ILLNESS AND FATIGUE 18. Illness will affect training directly. Depending on the 
illness this can be both short and long term. Fatigue will hamper progress. Rest is an
essential  part of an exercise program.  
GENDER 19. Due to hormonal deviations (testosterone/estrogen)  males tend to have a
larger muscle mass, larger lungs and a larger aerobic ability than females,  who often have
better flexibility and a higher body fat percentage.  
ISOMETRIC 20. This are movements in which contracting muscles stay  the same length
whilst applying a force.
