    Study Notes

    Components of Physical Fitness

    • Five primary components: cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, body composition.

    Cardiovascular Endurance

    • Definition: Ability to sustain aerobic exercise over extended periods.
    • Importance: Essential for long-duration activities like running or swimming.

    Muscular Strength

    • Definition: Maximum force exerted by muscles against resistance for brief, intense efforts.
    • Application: Critical for exercises such as weightlifting.

    Muscular Endurance

    • Definition: Ability to perform sustained muscle contractions for activities under 90 seconds.
    • Relevance: Vital for activities like high-rep resistance training.

    Flexibility

    • Definition: Range of motion achievable in joints or groups of joints.
    • Benefits: Improves overall mobility and may prevent injuries.

    Body Composition

    • Definition: Ratio of fat to fat-free tissues in the body.
    • Measurement: Commonly assessed through methods like body mass index (BMI) and bioelectrical impedance analysis.

    Specific Tests for Components

    • Trunk Lift: Assesses flexibility.
    • Curl-up for 1 Minute: Evaluates muscular endurance.
    • Shoulder Stretch: Measures flexibility.
    • Maxing Out on Bench Press: Tests muscular strength.
    • Pacer Test/Mile Run/Walking Test Mile: Assesses cardiovascular endurance.
    • Back-Saver Sit and Reach: Measures flexibility.
    • Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzer: Evaluates body composition.

    Anaerobic vs Aerobic Exercise

    • Anaerobic: Short bursts of activity without oxygen, typically lasting less than 90 seconds.
    • Aerobic: Sustained activities with oxygen, lasting longer than 90 seconds.
