 PHYSICAL FITNESS AND TESTING

• Physical fitness is simply the body’s ability to complete

physical work. This can include cardiovascular, muscular
strength, and muscular endurance.

• A physical fitness test may include a repetition maximum of

strength-based exercises, like squats or bench presses, to
assess muscular strength.
• It may also involve performing exercises, like bodyweight squats, until
exhaustion, which tests muscular endurance

• . Tests performed on a stationary bike can evaluate anaerobic fitness.

People may also complete walking or step aerobics tests, during
which heart rate is assessed to determine cardiovascular fitness.

• These types of tests can be quite helpful in developing a complete

understanding of current health.

COMPONENTS
OF PHYSICAL
FITNESS
 HEALTH-RELATED COMPONENTS
• Cardio-Respiratory Endurance
The ability of the heart and lungs to function
efficiently and effectively over a prolonged period of time.

• Muscular Strength
The ability of muscle group to contact against a
resistance.
• Muscular Endurance
The ability to continue selected muscle group movements for
a prolonged period of time.

• Flexibility
The functional capacity of a joint to move through a normal
range of motion. The muscular system is also involved.

• Body Composition
One of the newer attributes in physical fitness components. It
refers to the relative distribution of lean and fat body tissues.
 SKILL-RELATED COMPONENTS
• Balance
It involves vision, reflexes, and the skeletal muscular system
which provides the maintenance of equilibrium.

• Coordination
It is the ability to integrate the senses with muscles so as to
produce accurate, smooth, and harmonious body movement.

• Agility
It is the capacity to change the direction of the body quickly
and effectively.
• Speed
It is the ability to move one’s body from one point to another
in shortest possible time.

• Power
Power is sometimes confused with strength. Speed
contraction, likewise, is the basic ingredient which, when combined
with strength, provides an explosive type of movement.

• Reaction Time
The time required to respond or initiate a movement as a
result of a given stimulus.
