What is Physical Fitness?
PHYSICAL FITNESS
Physical Fitness is
the ability of our
body to respond to
the many demands
of life with extra
energy for leisure
and recreational
activities.
 COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS
1. Cardiovascular – refers to the heart rate of a person
2. Endurance – the ability to apply strength for a long
period of time
3. Strength – the ability to exert force
4. Flexibility – the capability of the muscles to twist or
bend
5. Body Composition – the main target of Physical
Fitness to be developed
 PART 02
HEALTH - RELATED FITNESS
 HEALTH - RELATED
FITNESS

is the
ability to become
and stay physically
healthy.
 COMPONENTS OF HRF
1. Cardiovascular Fitness
– the ability of the heart and
lungs and blood vessels to
deliver oxygen to working
muscles and tissues as well as
the ability of those muscles and
tissues to utilize the oxygen
 COMPONENTS OF HRF
Examples of Cardiovascular Fitness:
a. Running
b. Cycling
c. Step-test
d. Swimming
e. Brisk walking
 COMPONENTS OF HRF
2. Muscular Strength
refers to the maximum
amount of force a muscle
can exert against an
opposing force.
Ex.: Using weights (bench
press, leg press, etc.)
 COMPONENTS OF HRF
3. Muscular Endurance
refers to the ability of the
muscles to do repeated
work over an extended
period of time without
fatigue.
Ex.: Pushups, sit-ups or crunches
 COMPONENTS OF HRF
4. Flexibility
is the ability to move a
body part through a
full range of motion
(ROM) at a joint.
Ex.: sit-and-reach,
stretchin
 COMPONENTS OF HRF
5. Body Composition
is the ratio of body fat to lean body
mass (including water, bones, muscles,
and connective tissues).

Ex.: Aerobics
 COMPONENTS OF HRF

Skill-Related
Fitness (SRF)
focuses on
the
performance
in a sport.
 COMPONENTS OF SRF
1. Speed
– is the ability to perform a movement in
one direction in the shortest period of time.
 COMPONENTS OF SRF
2. Power
– is the ability of the muscle to transfer
energy and release maximum force at a
fast rate
 COMPONENTS OF SRF

3. Agility
– is the ability to move in different directions
quickly using a combination of balance,
coordination, speed, strength and endurance
 COMPONENTS OF SRF

4. Reaction Time
– is the amount of time to respond to a
stimulus
 COMPONENTS OF SRF

5. Coordination
– is the ability to use the senses with the body
parts to perform motor tasks smoothly and
accurately.
 COMPONENTS OF SRF

6. Balance
– is the maintenance of equilibrium while
stationary or while moving.
