- Offers opportunities for achieving and maintaining desired fitness through games, sports, and activities.
Functions of Physical Education
- Biological Function: Enhances individual growth and development via body movements.
- Integrative Function: Promotes personality integration through participation in appropriate physical education activities.
- Social Function: Transmits societal values and standards that align with community needs and ideals.
Physical Fitness Concepts
- Fitness: Ability to lead a healthy, satisfying, and useful life.

- Health-Related Fitness: Focuses on maintaining and achieving physical health.
- Skill-Related Fitness: Enhances athletic performance in sports.
Key Components of Physical Fitness
- Cardiovascular Fitness: Ability of the heart and circulatory system to supply oxygen for extended periods, also known as cardiorespiratory fitness.
- Muscular Strength and Endurance: Muscle's capacity to exert effort or perform tasks continuously.
- Flexibility: Ability to move body parts through their full range of motion at the joints.
- Body Composition: Ratio of body fat to lean body mass, which comprises water, bones, muscles, and connective tissues.
