Concept of Physical Fitness

Physical fitness is defined as a state of well-being that allows individuals to perform daily tasks with vigor and reduce health risks related to inactivity.
It encompasses the ability to carry out daily activities efficiently without excessive fatigue, maintaining energy for emergencies.

Muscular Strength:
- Defined as the capacity of muscles to exert force against resistance.
- Examples of exercises: planking, wall sit, weightlifting with dumbbells.
Muscular Endurance:
- Refers to the ability of muscles to perform repeated contractions over time without fatigue.
- Key exercises: push-ups (raising and lowering the body with arms), sit-ups (raising the torso from a supine position without arm assistance), weightlifting for endurance.
Cardiovascular Endurance:
- Relates to the capacity of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity.
- Organic vigor indicates the overall health of the heart and lungs, contributing to disease resistance.
- Activities promoting cardiovascular endurance include:
  - Fun Runs (e.g., 5K, 10K, 15K).
  - Marathons (long-distance race of 26 miles 385 yards).
  - Swimming and cycling events.
Flexibility:
- Defined as the range of motion available at a joint, specific to each body joint.
- Flexibility is measured through activities like the sit and reach test.
- Stretching exercises improve muscle elasticity and tone.

Advanced Endurance Competitions

Iron Man Competition:
- A rigorous triathlon comprising a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.22-mile run.
- Considered one of the most challenging one-day sporting events globally.
Half Ironman:
- A shorter version of the Ironman triathlon, popular in various regions including the Philippines, combining swimming, cycling, and running.
