Wellness - A search for enhanced quality of life, personal growth, and potential through positive lifestyle behaviors and attitudes. Health- is defined as a complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Exercise- A type of physical activity consisting planned, structured, and repetitive bodily movement. Physical Activity- refers to all actions done either during work or school, leisure time and household chores. Physical Fitness- A set of abilities that one possesses in order to perform efficiently and effectively any physical activities. Good physical fitness does not only support an individual’s daily routine, but also provides extra energy for leisure enjoyment and responds positively to the demands of daily pressures and unforeseen environmental conditions. There are two components of physical fitness: Health Related components of Fitness- Consists of those specific components that have a relationship with good health or a lower risk of illness particularly hypokinetic diseases and conditions. Regular participation in physical activities helps control weight, enhances mood, boosts energy, promotes better sleep, prevents illnesses, and reduces onset of chronic diseases. Body composition- is an important element and indicator to understanding an individual’s present health by measuring and evaluating the differences between muscle leanness and body fat accumulation. Cardi-respiratory endurance- the ability of circulatory (heart, blood, and blood vessels) and respiratory (lungs) systems to supply oxygen to the working muscles throughout the individual’s continuous physical exertions, and for those muscles to utilize oxygen and dispose lactic to accomplish work effectively and efficiently. Flexibility- the ability of one or more joints and muscles to move well through a full range of motion pain-free. Range of motion is critical at any age as it is a vital key for unhindered movement and can affect one’s balance, coordination, and agility. Muscular Strength- is the ability of muscle or group of muscles to produce maximal force in single effort. Maintaining muscular strength is essential in performing daily responsibilities which includes simple movements like pushing, pulling, lifting, or carrying. Muscular Endurance- is the ability of muscle or group of muscles to apply force in repetitive and continuous effort for a period of time. Skill Related Components of fitness- Consists of those specific components that have a relationship with learning motor skills quickly and the ability to achieve a high level of performance in sports. Speed is the ability to complete a movement or set of movements in the shortest possible time. Working out can improve speed, however, genetics and the amount of fast twitch muscles greatly influence speed performance.  Balance is the ability to maintain equilibrium either while moving or in a stationary position. Practicing and developing balance is generally important but would be an advantage when learning sports skills like cycling, skateboarding, or rowing. Coordination is the ability to use the senses and integrate different body parts to perform accurate and fluid movements. Throwing, catching, juggling, and dribbling are effective ways which can improve eye-hand coordination. Agility is the ability to quickly transition to different positions or directions fluidly with accuracy. This element is dependent on these three skills: speed, balance, and coordination. Power is the ability to produce and perform maximal force in the shortest possible time. Combining resistance work with speed in workout is one way to improve power. Reaction time refers to the ability to quickly react to an external stimulus. It greatly centers on the tight connection of the mind and body. When presented with a certain stimulus, the mind interprets it and accordingly, the body reacts based on the provided interpretation. Swiftness of reaction depends on the knowledge and exposure of the individual to the sport and/ or activity. Dimensions of wellness 1.
