Study Notes
Physical Fitness Components
- Speed is the ability of the body to perform a particular task within a short duration of time, measured in various sports and activities like running and swimming.
- Power is the ability of muscular units to apply maximum force to an object, characterized by speed and strength.
Motor Controls
- Coordination is the contributing factor for establishing movement skills, highly definitive of motor controls, essential for easy movement of body parts.
- Balance refers to stabilizing in a neutral position, regardless of body state, measurable through dynamic or static tests.
Agility and Muscular Fitness
- Agility refers to quick movements with respect to time and space factors, influencing speed of decisions and brisk personality.
- Muscular fitness refers to endurance levels of muscles, including flexibility, measured through underwater weighing, skinfold readings, and bioelectrical impedance.
Factors Affecting Fitness and Wellness
- Regular exercise is the most important factor affecting physical fitness.
- Amount of training, rest and relaxation, stress or tension, age, and gender all impact physical fitness and wellness.
- Environmental factors, including climate, temperature, altitude, social, and cultural factors, also affect physical fitness and wellness.
- Postural correction helps avoid problems like back pain and knee joints pain.
Components of Fitness
- The 5 components of physical fitness are cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
- Cardiovascular endurance refers to the ability of the heart and lungs to work together to provide oxygen and fuel to the body during sustained workloads.
- Muscular strength is the amount of force a muscle can produce, measured through tests like the push-up test.
- Muscular endurance is the ability of muscles to perform continuously without fatigue, measured through tests like the sit-up test.
