EXAMPLE
 Being physically active and
eating a balanced diet can help
you avoid health problems with
being overweight
 Health-Related Components

 Muscular Strength:
 The amount of force a
muscle can exert in a
single contraction
 Muscular Endurance:
 The ability of the muscles to
perform physical tasks over a
period of time without becoming
fatigued
 Muscular strength is needed for

activities that involve lifting,

pushing, or jumping and
muscular endurance to perform
such activities repeatedly
 Give you power to perform daily

activities without being fatigued;

give you better posture and
fewer back problems

The 6 Components of
Skill-related Fitness.
 Skill-related fitness…
 This allows people to become good at physical
activity.
 Different sports require different combinations of
Skill-related fitness.
 Speed
It is the ability to move
one’s body from one point to
another in a shorted
possible time.
Agility…  The ability to
change the
position of the
whole body
quickly and
control the
movement of the
whole body…
 Example?
 Sidestep or Step
Back in
Basketball
 Balance…
This is the ability of the body to keep an upright
Static Balance.
posture while standing still or moving.
 The ability to maintain one’s equilibrium in
a fixed position.
 Balance…
Dynamic Balance.
 A Controlled,stable position i.e. a
basketball player.
 Co-ordination…
It is the ability to use your senses
together with your body parts, or to use two or
more body parts together. For example,
dribbling a basketball.

 Thereare many different types of co-

ordination… can you name them?
 Hand-eye.

 Foot-eye.

 Head-eye.

 Thigh-eye/Chest eye.
 Power…
This is when the ability
to transfer a certain amount
of force at a rapid pace.

 Sportsmen and women

use power to propel
themselves or an object
forward or upwards.
 Reaction Time…
Definition: It pertains to the ability of a person
to respond quickly to stimulus.
 Basically, how quickly you can react to
something.
 Anticipation of a stimulus can also help
reaction timing.
 Slaps…
