Study Notes

Physical Fitness Components

  • Balance: Control of organic equipment, representing a state of equilibrium.
  • Coordination: Integration of body parts for smooth motion.
  • Endurance: Sustaining long contractions with multiple muscle groups, resisting fatigue over time.
  • Flexibility: Ability to perform a wide range of movements, indicating plasticity.
  • Organic Vigor: Soundness of heart and lungs, crucial for disease resistance.
  • Power: Release of maximum muscular force in minimal time.
  • Speed: Quick successive movements of the same kind in the shortest time.
  • Strength: Sustaining force application against resistance without yielding.

Domains of Physical Activity

  • Occupational: Activities performed at the workplace, such as lifting and moving.
  • Domestic: Home activities like cleaning and cooking.
  • Transportation: Travel-related activities including biking and public transit.
