E. express importance of Physical fitness through journal reflection.

Reading I

Health and wellness are terms that are often interchanged, but their origins and
meanings are different. As established by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the
1940s, health is referred to as, “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-
being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” Although this definition has
been criticized for being overly inclusive and unattainable, especially as it relates to the
word “complete,” very importantly, it broadens the medical definition of health beyond
the simple absence of disease. According to the WHO, the primary determinants of
health include the social, economic, and physical environments, and the person’s
individual characteristics and behaviours. The maintenance and improvement of health,
accordingly, depends not only on external or environmental factors (including the

systems of care), but also on the efforts and intelligent lifestyle choices of the person.
In fact, it depends on wellness.

In understanding the difference between health and wellness, in short, health is a

state of being, whereas wellness is the state of living a healthy lifestyle. Health refers to
physical, mental, and social well-being; wellness aims to enhance well-being. While
Fitness tends to focus on your physical health. It tends to focus on nutrition, strength,
conditioning, flexibility, and body composition.

Physical fitness refers to the ability of your body systems to work together
efficiently to allow you to be healthy and perform activities of daily living. Being efficient
means doing daily activities with the least effort possible. A fit person is able to perform
schoolwork, meet home responsibilities, and still have enough energy to enjoy sport
and other leisure activities. A fit person can respond effectively to normal life situations,
such as raking leaves at home, stocking shelves at a part-time job, and marching in the
band at school. A fit person can also respond to emergency situations - for example, by
running to get help or aiding a friend in distress.

Physical fitness involve skill-related fitness and health related components which
are listed below.
