    Health Related Components Of Fitness


    The Definitions

    Cardio-Vascular Endurance

    The ability of the heart and lungs to provide energy for the working muscles over a period of time. For example, completing a long distance race.

    Muscular Endurance

    The ability of a muscle or muscle group to work repeatedly over a period of time.
    For example, competing a rowing race.

    Strength

    The ability of a muscle or muscle group to apply a force to overcome a resistance. This can be static or dynamic.
    For example, lifting a heavy weight.

    Flexibility

    The range of movement around a joint.


    For example, doing the splits in gymnastics.

    Body Type

    There are 3 body types: endomorph (prop), mesomorph (swimmer) and ectomorph (high jumper). Body type is made up of body size and composition. For example, jockeys and darts players can have very different body types and both be successful.

    Dynamic Balance

    The ability to maintain equilibrium while moving. For example, dribbling a football at speed.
