Components of Fitness
- Cardiovascular Endurance: Measures the efficiency of the heart and lungs in supplying oxygen-rich blood to muscles during physical activity.
- Muscular Strength: Refers to the maximum amount of force a muscle can exert in a single effort, exemplified by activities such as weightlifting.
- Muscular Endurance: Indicates the ability of muscles to sustain repeated contractions over time, important in endurance sports like swimming and cross-country skiing.
- Flexibility: The capacity of a joint to move through its full range of motion, enhanced through practices like static and dynamic stretching.
- Body Composition: Describes the proportion of fat to lean muscle mass in the body, influencing overall health and fitness levels.
Types of Stretching
- Static Stretching: Involves holding a stretch position for a period of time without movement, examples include the hurdler stretch and the butterfly stretch.
- Dynamic Stretching: Involves controlled, smooth movements that increase range of motion in joints, examples include high knees and butt kicks.
