    Study Notes

    • Cardiorespiratory Endurance: The ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to deliver oxygen to working muscles during sustained physical activity. Improved through activities like running, swimming, and cycling. Crucial for overall health and disease prevention.

    • Muscular Strength: The maximum force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a single effort. Important for daily tasks, injury prevention, and maintaining bone density. Measured using exercises like bench press or squats.

    • Muscular Endurance: The ability of a muscle or muscle group to repeatedly exert force over an extended period. Essential for daily activities and physical performance. Examples include holding a plank or doing many repetitions of bicep curls.

    • Flexibility: The range of motion at a joint or series of joints. Important for posture, balance, and injury prevention. Improved through stretching and flexibility exercises.

    • Body Composition: The proportion of fat mass to fat-free mass in the body. Excess fat can contribute to health risks. Measured using methods like BMI, waist circumference, and DEXA scans.

    • Speed: The ability to move the body or a part of the body quickly from one point to another. Essential in many sports and activities. Influenced by factors like reaction time, acceleration, and top speed.

    • Power: The ability to exert maximum force in a minimum amount of time. Combination of strength and speed. Key for activities like jumping, throwing, and sprinting.

    • Agility: The ability to change direction quickly and efficiently. Essential for sports like basketball, soccer, and tennis where rapid directional changes are needed.

    • Balance: The ability to maintain equilibrium while stationary or while moving. Important for preventing falls and maintaining control during physical activities.

    • Coordination: The ability to integrate various parts of the body in a smooth and efficient manner. Critical for executing complex movements in sports and everyday tasks. A smooth dance routine is a good example.

    • Reaction Time: The time elapsed between a stimulus and the initiation of a response. Essential for sports involving quick responses like catching a ball, dodging an opponent, or reacting to a whistle.
