1. Organic Vigor – the cardiovascular respiratory efficiency which contributes to the ability to resist disease. 2. Cardiorespiratory Endurance – the ability of the lungs and heart to take in and transport adequate amounts of oxygen to the working muscles, allowing activities that involves large muscles masses to be performed over long periods of time. 3. Muscular Endurance – the ability of the muscles to apply a submaximal force repeatedly or to sustain contraction for a certain period of time. 4. Muscular Strength – the maximal one-effort force that can be exerted against a resistance. 5. Flexibility – the functional capacity of a joint to move through a full range of motion, flexibility is the range of motion around a joint. 6. Speed – the ability of the individual to make a successive movement of the same kind in the shortest possible time. 7.Agility – the ability of the individual to change position in space;also refers to quickness of movement. 8. Power – refers to muscular power which is the ability to release maximum force in the shortest period of time; the ability of the muscle to exert effort. 9. Balance – the ability of the individual to control organic equipment neomuscularly; it is also a state of equilibrium. 10. Coordination – the ability to use the senses together with body parts in performing tasks smoothly and accurately. 1. GENERAL WARM UP: It’s purpose is to increase overall body temperature, heart rate, and blood flow to muscles. 2. DYNAMIC WARM UP: It’s purpose is to prepare muscles and joints for the specific movements involved in the workout. It involves active movements that mimic the activity to be performed. 3. SPORT-SPECIFIC WARM-UP: It’s purpose is to prepare the body for the specific demands of a particular sport or activity. 4. STRETCHING AS A WARM UP: It’s purpose is to improve the range of motion and flexibility, though it is now typically combined with or followed by dynamic movements. 5. MOBILITY DRILLS: It’s purpose is to improve joint flexibility and range of motion, often used in preparation for weightlifting or high-intensity sports.
