4.2-- • Explain the 6 components of physical fitness: • 1. Body composition • 2. Cardio-respiratory endurance • 3. Coordination & balance • 4. Flexibility • 5. Muscular endurance • 6. Muscular strength
1. Body Composition • Percentage of different types of tissues in the body • Too high a percentage of body fat leads to disease • Everyone needs to exercise—regardless of weight or age • Glucose is the body’s chief source of energy • After exercising consistently—notice increase in lean body tissue & decrease in body fat • Examples: Cross-country skiing, racquetball, soccer, aerobic exercise
2. Cardio-Respiratory Endurance- • The body’s ability to take in adequate amount of oxygen • Carry oxygen efficiently through the blood to body cells • Efficiency of your lungs, heart, blood vessels
3. Coordination & Balance- • Ability to keep your body in an upright position while standing still or moving • *Coordination—ability to integrate the use of two or more parts of the body
4. Flexibility- • Ability to move your joints through a full range of motion • Joints—where two bones meet • Examples: elbows, knees, shoulders, hips, ankles • Helps prevent injury to muscles that control movement of the joints • Stretching exercises help increase flexibility
5. Muscular Endurance- • Ability to use a group of muscles over & over without becoming tired (pedaling a bicycle) • Helps you perform physical activities comfortably • Helps you remain active for extended periods • Should work on developing all muscle groups • Examples: hiking, rowing, skating, gymnastics
6. Muscular Strength- • Ability of the muscles to move objects • Usually measured—how much weight you can lift • You move your body by contracting muscles • Strong muscles will allow you to move body efficiently • Avoid some sports injuries • Develops lean muscle mass • Increasing muscle mass will raise BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)—burning even more calories • Example: weight training
4.2.1-- • Design a visual of the 6 components of physical fitness--
4.3-- • Describe how physical activity promotes fitness— • 1. Improved Appearance—Altering posture (position of body when standing or sitting), movements & weight • Develop strong back & abdominal muscles • Move more gracefully • Become more agile, balanced, coordinated • Burns calories—30 minutes of moderate-intense activities burn 200 calories • Combine exercise with low-fat diet—lose more weight • Maintain normal weight throughout life
