    Cardiovascular Endurance

    • Also known as aerobic fitness, it's the capacity of the cardiovascular system (heart and lungs) to supply oxygen and nutrients to body tissues during prolonged physical activity.

    Flexibility

    • Defined as the range of motion around a joint or groups of joints, aiding in safe movement and injury prevention.
    • Improvement through stretching exercises is essential for enhanced flexibility.

    Muscular Strength

    • Refers to the maximum force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a single contraction.
    • Crucial for activities that involve lifting, pushing, or carrying heavy loads.
    • Comprises physical attributes linked to performance in sports and activities, enhancing athletic proficiency.
    • Key components include:
      • Agility: Ability to swiftly change direction, vital in sports like soccer and basketball.
      • Balance: The capacity to maintain stability, important in gymnastics and yoga.
      • Coordination: Harmonious interaction of body parts for precise movement, essential in baseball and martial arts.

    Power and Speed

    • Power: Ability to generate maximum force quickly, significant in weightlifting and shot put.
    • Speed: The ability to move rapidly from one point to another, fundamental in sprinting and track events.

    Reaction Time

    • The duration taken to respond to stimuli. It notably impacts sports such as boxing and table tennis.

    Importance of Physical Fitness
