HEALTH-RELATED COMPONENTS OF FITNESS• Cardiovascular
Fitness/Cardiorespiratory Endurance
• Muscular Strength and Endurance• Flexibility• Body Composition
04/19/23 EXERCISE AND FITNESS 12
Contributing Components of Fitness• Balance• Agility• Coordination• Power• Speed
04/19/23 EXERCISE AND FITNESS 13
CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCECardiovascular Fitness• Pumps blood through body efficiently• Delivers O2 to cells• Removes wastes from cells• Derives energy from a process that
requires O2 from blood• Establishes training heart rate• Rebounds from stress more efficiently
04/19/23 EXERCISE AND FITNESS 14
FLEXIBILITY• Moves joints through full range of motion ROM• Varies from person to person and joint to joint• It has a genetic base• Genetics determine how elastic the muscles
and connective tissues will be• Differs from men due to skeletal difference
and muscle mass-women more flexible• Relieves or prevents pain from exercise• Prevents potential injuries
04/19/23 EXERCISE AND FITNESS 15
AEROBIC TRAINING/ Conditioning• Increases bodies ability to use O2 • Improves endurance• Lowers blood cholesterol, BP, • Enables lungs and heart to supply muscles
with O2• Achieved after 15-20 minutes of continuous
aerobic exercise• Uses large muscles of the legs and body for
repetitive movements over a sustained period of time
