  2. FITNESS? • A measure of the body’s ability to complete activities for everyday life efficiently and effectively.

  3. Components of HRF. • There are 5 components of fitness. • Cardio vascular endurance • Muscular endurance • Strength • Body Composition • Flexibility

  4. Cardiovascular Endurance. • Known as Stamina • Cardio – heart vascular – blood vessel • Ability of the heart to pump blood and deliver O2 where it is needed. • Most team sports require a high level of cardio-vascular endurance. • It is the most important fitness component

  5. Examples.

  6. Muscular Endurance • The ability of the muscles to contract over a long period of time without becoming fatigued/tired.

  7. Examples.

  8. Strength. • The maximum force that can be developed within a muscle or group of muscles during a single max contraction. • 3 types of strength – static, dynamic and explosive static – held position explosive – 1 sharp movement. dynamic – repeated and supporting the body

  11. Examples.

  12. Flexibility. • The greatest range of movement at a joint • Reduces muscle injury and allows for a full range of movement. • Flexibility is affected by a number of factors: • Sex – Females tend to be more flexible than males. • Age – Flexibility decreases with age. • Warm-up – A muscle will stretch further after a warm-up. • Flexibility is one of the easiest components to improve.

  13. Examples.
