Definitions of Key Concepts
- Physical Activity: Any bodily movement by skeletal muscles requiring energy expenditure, includes work, play, chores, travel, and recreation.
- Exercise: Planned, structured, and repetitive physical activity aimed at conditioning the body; includes cardiovascular, strength, resistance training, and flexibility components.
- Fitness: The ultimate goal of physical education, relating to overall physical health and capability.
- Physical Fitness: The ability of body systems to work efficiently together, promoting health and daily activities.
Health
- Health Definition: A holistic state of complete physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease.
Physical Fitness Components
- Health-Related Physical Fitness: Parameters linked to physiological functions contributing to good health.
- Skill-Related Physical Fitness: Parameters that assess performance in sports and physical activities, focusing on motor fitness.
Health-Related Fitness Parameters
- Cardiovascular Endurance: Evaluates the heart and lungs' efficiency during exertion; measured using a 3-minute step test.
- Muscular Endurance: The ability to perform repeated exercises without fatigue; assessed through the Basic Plank test for core muscles.
- Muscular Strength: Key fitness component assessing the ability to lift weights; measured by push-ups for upper body strength.
- Flexibility: Enables full range of motion for joints; tested with sit and reach to evaluate lower extremity flexibility.
- Body Composition: Refers to muscle, fat, bone, and tissue proportions influencing overall fitness; assessed using Body Mass Index (BMI).
Skill-Related Fitness Parameters
- Agility: Ability to change direction quickly and efficiently, important in sports like basketball and volleyball; assessed by the Hexagon agility test.
- Balance: Maintaining stability while still or moving; measured using the Stork stand test on one foot.
- Coordination: Combines sensory input with body movements for smooth motor tasks; tested through paper juggling.
- Reaction Time: Ability to quickly respond and make decisions; exemplified in basketball passing and tagging games; measured by the stick drop test.
- Speed: Capability to perform repetitive movements swiftly; evaluated by timing a 40 meters sprint.
