Physical Fitness

• Physical fitness is the body's ability to manage daily tasks while retaining energy for leisure activities.
• It encompasses overall health and well-being, vital for sports, occupations, and everyday tasks.

Physical Activity and Exercise

• Physical Activity includes all voluntary bodily movements that expend energy, categorized into occupational, transport-related, household, and recreational activities.
• Common misconception: only sports and exercise count as physical activity; in fact, they are merely sectors of recreational physical activity.
• Exercise is a structured program aimed at improving fitness levels.

Physical Activity vs. Exercise

• Both physical activity and exercise contribute to well-being.
• Being fit offers greater protection against health issues than merely being physically active.

Skill-Related Fitness Components

• Agility: Quick movement in various directions over short periods.
• Speed: Lateral movement ability in brief times.
• Balance: Sustaining position stability.
• Coordination: Synchronization of mind and body during movements.
• Power: The capability to exert force in daily tasks.
• Reaction Time: Reflex response to stimuli.

Health-Related Fitness (HRF)

• HRF is a multidimensional concept comprising:
  • Cardiorespiratory endurance
  • Muscular strength
  • Muscular endurance
  • Flexibility
  • Body composition

Body Composition

• Refers to the body’s structural makeup, including fat, muscle, and bone distribution.

Body Types

• Ectomorph: Lean and slender with minimal muscle development.
• Endomorph: Rounded body with potential fat accumulation.
• Mesomorph: Muscular and husky build.

Cardiorespiratory Endurance

• Defined as the ability to sustain full-body exercise over prolonged periods.

Flexibility

• Ability to perform movements across a complete range of motion.

Muscular Strength and Endurance

• Muscular Strength: Amount of force generated by a single muscle contraction.
• Muscular Endurance: Ability of muscles to sustain repeated contractions over time.

Body Mass Index (BMI)

• BMI is a straightforward calculation using height and weight to classify weight groups.
• BMI categories:
  • Underweight: Less than 18.5
  • Normal weight: 18.5 - 24.9
  • Overweight: 25 - 29.9
  • Obese: 30 or more
• BMI formula:
  • BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m)²)
• Example calculation: For 62 kg at 171 cm (1.71 m):
  • BMI = 62 kg / (1.71 m)² = 21.23 (Normal)
