Elements of Fitness
• Cardiorespiratory endurance
• Muscular Strength
• Muscular Endurance
• Flexibility
• Body composition
Cardiorespiratory Endurance
• A measure of the heart’s ability to pump
oxygen-rich blood to the working muscles
during exercise.
Benefits of Exercise:
• Improves Body Systems:
– Immune (Heal Faster)
– Nervous (Reaction Time)
– Muscular & Skeletal (Stronger)
– Circulatory (Heart Pumps More Blood)
– Respiratory (Won’t “Lose” Your Breath)
You can choose from many different
physical activities and exercises to
improve your fitness level, but
most fall into one or two categories.
Types of Exercise
• Aerobic exercise: vigorous activity in
which the muscles use oxygen for energy
– Heart & Breathing Rate Increase
– Increase cardiorespiratory endurance
– Ex. Jogging, swimming, biking, dancing
• Anaerobic exercise: intense short bursts
of activity in which the muscles work so
hard that they produce energy without
using oxygen.
- Ex. 100m dash, weight lifting
Types of Resistance Training
Isometric Exercise- muscle contraction with
little to no movement
