Study Notes
Components of Physical Fitness
-
Balance:
- Ability to maintain equilibrium during movement or stillness
- Static Balance: Ability to stay balanced in a fixed position, like standing on one foot
- Dynamic Balance: Maintaining balance while moving, like walking on a balance beam
- Coordination: Using senses and body parts to accurately perform motor tasks smoothly
- Agility: Quickly changing body direction from one point to another
- Speed: Performing a task or covering a distance in the shortest time possible
- Power: Performing a maximum effort in a short period of time, often seen in track and field and weightlifting.
- Reaction Time: Speed of response to stimuli
Concepts of Physical Fitness
- Organic Vigor: Soundness of heart and lungs, contributing to disease resistance
- Endurance: Sustaining long, continued muscle contractions without fatigue
- Strength: Exerting force against resistance
- Power: Ability to release maximum force in a short time
- Flexibility: Movement range of joints and muscles
- Agility: Quick and light movement changes in space
- Balance: Control over body movement and equilibrium
- Speed: Fast, successive movements of the same kind
- Body Mass Index (BMI): Measures the ratio of height to weight to estimate body fat, formula: weight (kg) ÷ height^2 (meters)
- Aesthetic: Appreciation of what is pleasurable to the senses
- Nationalism: Preservation of cultural heritage through traditional games, dances, and sports.
- Conservation of Natural Environment: Protection of forests and aquatic resources
### Components of Physical Fitness: Health-Related vs. Performance-Related
-
Health-Related Fitness: Body’s adaptation to exercise. Developed through regular exercise.
-
Muscular Strength: Maximal effort in a brief duration. Developed through isotonic, isometric, or isokinetic contractions
-
Isotonic Contractions: Alternating muscle shortening and lengthening with varying speeds against resistance
- Concentric Contraction: Muscle shortens during exercise
- Eccentric Contraction: Muscle lengthens during exercise against external Resistance
- Isometric Contractions: Muscle contracts against immovable resistance
- Isokinetic Contractions: Muscle contracts against fixed machines with varying resistance
-
Isotonic Contractions: Alternating muscle shortening and lengthening with varying speeds against resistance
- Muscular Endurance: Sustaining sub-maximal effort for a prolonged period
- Cardiovascular Endurance: Adaptation of heart, blood vessels, and lungs to prolonged exertion
- Flexibility: Joint and muscle range of motion. Reduces injury risk, enhances performance, and prevents soreness.
- Body Composition: Ratio of lean body mass to fat body mass
-
Muscular Strength: Maximal effort in a brief duration. Developed through isotonic, isometric, or isokinetic contractions
- Performance-Related Fitness: Movement skill and capabilities
