  4. Health Related Components • Cardiovascular Fitness • Muscular Strength • Muscular Endurance • Flexibility • Body Composition

  5. CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS • The efficiency of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to supply the muscles with nutrients and oxygen while one is physically active • Examples: • 12min run, step test, beep test

  6. 12Beep Test 12 min Run Beep Test • Green Book • Pg 69

  7. Muscular Strength • The maximum force that a muscle can exert when making a single contraction • Examples: • vertical jump, leg press, chest press, grip test

  8. Muscular Strength • Vertical Jump • Pg 78 • Chest Press • Booklet • Leg Press • Booklet • Grip Strength • Pg 74

  9. Muscular Endurance • The ability of muscles to contract over a period of time without fatiguing • Examples: • Push ups, curl ups

  10. Muscular Endurance • Push ups • Pg 75 • Flexed Arm Hang • Booklet • Chin Ups • Pg 85 • Curl Ups • Pg 76

  11. Flexibility • The range of motion that is possible around a joint • Example: • Sit and reach

  12. Flexibilty • Sit and Reach • Pg 77

  13. Body Composition • The ratio of fat to lean body tissue, including; muscle, bone, water and connective tissue such as ligaments, cartilage and tendons. • Usually measured in percent body fat • Examples: • BMI

  14. Body Composition BMI pg 90 Waist Circumference pg 92

  15. Skill-Related Components • Limited by genetic make-up • Can be improved with practice • Helps improve performance in sports • Does not affect overall health

  16. Skill-Related Components • Agility- the ability to quickly and efficiently change body composition and direction (ex. dance, football, soccer) • Balance- the ability to maintain the body in proper equilibrium (ex. Yoga, skiing, fencing) • Coordination- the integration of the nervous and muscular system to produce correct, graceful, and harmonious body movements (ex. Field hockey, handball, gymnastics)

  17. Skills Continued... • Power- the ability to produce maximum force in the shortest period of time (ex. Sprints, basketball lay up) • Reaction Time- the length of time required to initiate a response to a stimulus (ex.
