COMPONENTS OF

PHYSICAL FITNESS
Physical fitness has two
components: general fitness (a
state of health and well-being)
and specific fitness (the ability to
perform specific aspects of sports
or occupations).
HEALTH-RELATED
FITNESS

 Is directly associated with good body fitness. Health-

related fitness (HRF) is theoretically defined as a
multidimensional construct containing the
components cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular
strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body
composition.
BODY
COMPOSITION
It is a health-related component of
physical fitness that pertains to the
relative amounts of muscle, fat, bone,
and other vital parts of the body. Ideal
percentage for men is between 12-16%
and for women 15-20%. People with a
high percentage of body fat are more
likely to be ill resulting to a higher death
rate among them.
CARDIOVASCULAR
FITNESS
A health-related component
of physical fitness that
relates to ability of the
circulatory and respiratory
systems to apply oxygen
during sustained physical
activity.
FLEXIBILI
TY
health-related component of physical
fitness that refers to the range of motion
available at a joint. Flexibility is
specific to each joint of the body. Thus,
there is no general measurement of
flexibility is there is for cardiovascular
fitness. Flexibility is typically measured
in the field with activities such as sit
and reach.
MUSCULAR
STRENGTH
health-related
component of
physical fitness that
refers to the ability
of the muscle to
exert force.
MUSCULAR
ENDURANCE

Physical fitness that

relates to the muscle
ability to continue to
perform without
fatigue.
SKILL-RELATED
FITNESS

• Is directly associated with skill performance.

Skill related fitness consists of fitness
components that are important to success in
skillful activities and athletic events, and may
not be as crucial to improved health.
AGILITY

physical fitness that

pertains to the ability
to rapidly change the
position of the entire
body in space with
speed and accuracy.
BALANCE

Pertains to the
maintenance of
equilibrium while
stationary or

Refers to the ability to use
the senses as sight and
hearing, together with
other body parts in
performing motor tasks
smoothly and accurately,
like eye and hand
coordination while
catching the ball.
POWER

Refers to the rate at which one can

perform work. Power is
considered to be a combination of
strength and speed. It is also
defined as the ability exerts
muscle force quickly. For this
reason, power is a combination of
skill and health-related physical
fitness.
SPEED

Refers to the ability to

perform a movement within
a short period of time. There
are many different types of
speed such as running speed,
swimming speed and speed
of hand or foot movement to
name but a few.
REACTION TIME

Refers to the time elapsed

between stimulation and
beginning of the reaction to it.
An example of reaction time is
moving one foot from the
accelerator to the brake pedal
when reacting to a situation.
