PHYSICAL FITNESS WHAT IS PHYSICAL FITNESS? ▪ It is the functional capacity of the body that allows for an improved quality of life. It is the body working at peak efficiency. ▪ It is the body’s ability to do work with alertness and vigor.  ARE YOU FAMILIAR? ▪ COORDINATION ▪ FLEXIBILITY ▪ MUSCULAR ▪ MUSCULAR ENDURANCE STRENGTH ▪ POWER ▪ REACTION TIME ▪ AGILITY ▪ BALANCE ▪ CARDIOVASCULAR ▪ BODY ENDURANCE COMPOSITION ▪ SPEED WHAT ARE THE 2 GROUPS OF COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS? HEALTH-RELATED FITNESS COMPONENTS SKILL-RELATED FITNESS COMPONENTS  COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS ▪ 1. Health-related Fitness – has a direct relationship to good health and reduces the risk of hypokinetic diseases. ▪ 2. Skill-related Fitness – sometimes called as motor fitness or sports fitness because they are used directly in specific sport or exercises. HEALTH-RELATED FITNESS COMPONENTS MUSCULAR STRENGTH ▪ The ability of the muscle to exert force. ▪ The ability of a muscle or muscle group to exert a maximum force against a resistance ONE TIME through the full range of motion.  CURL-UPS 90 DEGREES PUSH-UP  MUSCULAR ENDURANCE ▪ The ability of a muscle to continue to perform without fatigue. ▪ The ability of a muscle or muscle group to exert a sub-maximal force repeatedly over a period of time. PLANKING CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE ▪ The ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity. 3 – MINUTE STEP TEST  FLEXIBILITY ▪ The range of motion available at a joint. ▪ The ability to move a joint through its complete range of motion (ROM). SIT AND SHOULDER REACH STRETCH  BODY COMPOSITION ▪ The percentage of fat tissue and lean tissue in the body. ▪ The amount of lean body mass (bone, muscle, organs and body fluids) compared with the amount of body fat. BODY MASS INDEX SKILL-RELATED FITNESS COMPONENTS  AGILITY ▪ The ability to rapidly change the position of the body in space with speed and accuracy. ▪ Being quick and efficient. HEXAGON AGILITY TEST BALANCE ▪ The ability to control the placement of the body’s center of gravity in relation to its support base. ▪ The maintenance of equilibrium while stationary or moving. STORK BALANCE TEST  COORDINATION ▪ The ability to use the senses together with body parts in performing motor tasks smoothly and accurately. PAPER JUGGLING POWER ▪ The ability to transfer energy into force at a fast rate. It is the combination of muscular strength and speed. STANDING LONG JUMP  REACTION TIME ▪ The time elapsed between stimulation and the beginning of the response to it. STICK DROP TEST SPEED ▪ The ability to perform a movement or a cover a distance in a short period of time. 40 METER SPRINT FUNDAMENTAL BODY MOVEMENT  MOVEMENT ▪The act of maintaining or changing the position(s) of body part(s). Some movements are simple (e.g., walking). Some movements are complex (e.g., turning a somersault).  FUNDAMENTAL BODY MOVEMENT ▪ A movement that is simple and basic for participating in or performing different types of physical activities (e.g. walking, running, jumping, catching). Children develop fundamental movements as they grow. ▪ They are the building blocks necessary for more complex physical activities. Playing sports, exercising, and dancing all require a command of simple  THREE MAIN CATEGORIES OF FUNDAMENTAL BODY MOVEMENTS: ▪1. Locomotor ▪2. Nonlocomotor ▪3. Manipulative LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS ▪ Refers to body movements that move the body from one place to another. They cause the body to travel. ▪ They are categorized as either even or uneven movements ▪ Even rhythm movements consist of equal, unvarying actions. 1. Walking 2. Running 3. Hopping 4. Leaping 5. Jumping ▪ Uneven rhythm movements consist of unequal actions. They also sometimes incorporate alternating actions. 1. Skipping 2. Galloping 3. Sliding NONLOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS ▪ They are also sometimes called axial movements. They are movements of certain body parts, or even the whole body, without causing the body to travel. THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT NONLOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS: ▪ Bending ▪ Rotating ▪ Flexing ▪ Swinging ▪ Stretching ▪ Swaying ▪ Extending ▪ Turning ▪ Lifting ▪ Shaking ▪ Raising ▪ Wiggling ▪ Twisting MANIPULATIVE MOVEMENTS ▪They are motor skills that use hands, feet or another body part to move or manipulate an object
