Study Notes
Introduction to Physical Fitness
- Physical fitness combines health fitness (disease fighting ability) and body fitness (ability to perform strenuous activities without fatigue).
- A fit person has the energy for additional activities beyond physical and sports engagements; fitness is not solely defined by appearance or health alone.
Health-Related Fitness
- Aims for disease prevention and enhancement of functional health.
- Benefits of regular participation include weight control, illness prevention, improved mood, increased energy, and enhanced sleep quality.
Health-Related Fitness Components
- Body Composition: Measurement of bones, muscles, organs, and fat.
- Cardiovascular Endurance: Efficiency of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels in oxygen supply during prolonged activity.
- Flexibility: Ability to move joints through their full range of motion.
- Muscular Endurance: Sustaining muscle use over an extended time without fatigue.
- Muscular Strength: Maximum force exerted by muscles in one effort.
Skill-Related Fitness
- Focuses on athletic performance and improving specific physical abilities.
Skill-Related Fitness Components
- Agility: Quick body position changes while maintaining control.
- Balance: Maintaining stability during movement.
- Coordination: Synchronization of body parts during activities.
- Power: Combining strength with speed for explosive movements.
- Reaction Time: Quick response to signals for movement initiation.
- Speed: Rapid whole-body or partial movements.
Specific Components of Physical Fitness
- Emphasizes varied aspects essential for athletic performance and overall wellness.
- Includes agility, balance, coordination, endurance, flexibility, organic vigor (heart and lung health), power, speed, and strength.
Physical Activity and Exercise
-
Physical Activity: Any energy-using skeletal muscle movement, categorized into four domains:
- Occupational (work-related tasks)
- Domestic (home chores)
- Transportation (travel activities)
- Leisure Time (recreational activities)
- Exercise: Planned, structured, repetitive activities aimed at improving or maintaining fitness, including aerobic, muscle-strengthening, and bone-strengthening exercises.
Barriers to Physical Activity
- Common obstacles include:
- Lack of time
- Minimal social support
- Insufficient energy
- Low motivation
- Fear of injury
- Lack of skills
- High costs and insufficient facilities
- Adverse weather conditions
Eating Habits and Fitness

- Improvement process involves reflection on current habits, replacing unhealthy choices with healthier ones, and reinforcing positive dietary changes for long-term success.
Principles of Physical Activity
- Overload Principle: To enhance fitness, the body must be subjected to more than its usual exertion level. Utilizes F.I.T.T. (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type) for effective workout planning.
- Principle of Progression: Gradual increase in workload avoids injury and promotes fitness enhancement.
- Principle of Specificity: Focuses training on specific muscles or skills to improve targeted areas.
- Principle of Reversibility: Fitness gains diminish when regular activity ceases but can be regained when training resumes.
