    Study Notes

    Definition of Physical Fitness

    • Functional capacity of the body to enhance quality of life.
    • Ability to perform work with alertness and vigor.

    Components of Physical Fitness

    • Health-Related Fitness: Directly linked to good health; reduces hypokinetic disease risk.
    • Skill-Related Fitness: Also known as motor/sports fitness; applied in specific sports or exercises.
    • Muscular Strength: Maximum force exerted by muscle(s) against resistance; evaluated through exercises like push-ups.
    • Muscular Endurance: Ability of muscle(s) to perform without fatigue; measured by sustaining activities such as planking.
    • Cardiorespiratory Endurance: Oxygen supply during sustained activity; assessed via the 3-minute step test.
    • Flexibility: Range of motion in joints; tested through sit-and-reach stretches.
    • Body Composition: Ratio of fat to lean tissue; measured using Body Mass Index (BMI).
    • Agility: Rapid positional changes of the body with speed and accuracy; assessed via the hexagon agility test.
    • Balance: Controlling body center of gravity for stability; evaluated with the Stork Balance Test.
    • Coordination: Synchronizing sensory input with body parts for smooth movement; measured through activities like paper juggling.
    • Power: Speed and strength combined; assessed through tests like the standing long jump.
    • Reaction Time: Delay between stimulus and response; measured with the stick drop test.
    • Speed: Rapid movement across distance; tested with a 40-meter sprint.

    Fundamental Body Movement

    • Actions maintaining or changing body positions; essential for physical activity participation.
    • Crucial for children's physical development, forming the basis for complex activities like sports or dance.

    Categories of Fundamental Body Movements

    • Locomotor Movements: Movement from one place to another; includes:
      • Even rhythm: Walking, running, hopping, leaping, jumping.
      • Uneven rhythm: Skipping (one foot up), galloping, sliding.
    • Nonlocomotor Movements: Stationary movements involving body parts without traveling; includes bending, twisting, stretching, and more.
    • Manipulative Movements: Handling objects or body parts with control; includes catching, striking, kicking
