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.
