Components of Physical Fitness and Their Importance

1. Chapter TwoComponents of Fitness If it is to be, it is up to me.

2. What are we trying to learn? What is the difference between health-related and skill-related physical fitness? What are the health-related components of physical fitness? What are the skill-related components of physical fitness?

3. What are we trying to learn? Why does a person not have to be a good athlete to be physically fit? Why is it important to know your current level of health-related fitness?

4. Vocabulary skill-related fitness— health-related fitness— flexibility— cardiovascular fitness— 1 of 3 components of physical fitness that contribute to the ability to successfully participate in sports components of physical fitness that contribute to how well the systems of the body operate the range of movement possible at various joints ability of the heart, blood vessels, and respiratory system to supply oxygen and nutrients to the muscles during exercise

5. Vocabulary muscular strength— muscular endurance— body composition— body mass index (BMI)— Agility— balance— power— 2 of 3 ability of muscles to exert a force one time ability to use muscles for a long period of time ratio of fat to muscle, bone, and other body tissues provides an indication of the appropriateness of your weight relative to your height ability to change the position of the body and to control the movement of the whole body ability to keep an upright posture while standing still or moving ability to do strength performances at a rapid pace

6. Vocabulary reaction time— coordination— speed— 3 of 3 amount of time it takes to get moving once the senses signal the need to move integration of eye, hand, and foot movements ability to cover a distance in a short time

7. Components of Physical Fitness Skill-related fitness — components of physical fitness that contribute to the ability to successfully participate in sports Health-related fitness — satisfactory or healthy levels of flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength and endurance, and body composition (5 components)

8. Health-related Fitness • Can prevent disease and promote health by reducing risks for certain diseases • 5 components • Flexibility • Cardiovascular fitness • Muscular strength • Muscular endurance • Body composition

9. Flexibility • Ability to move body joints through a full range of motion • Tests • Sit-and-reach • Shoulder lift

10. Cardiovascular Fitness • Ability of heart, blood vessels, and respiratory system to supply oxygen and fuel to muscles as work is performed over a sustained period of time • Sustained aerobic exercise (15-30 min) • Tests • Stress test • Step test • Distance run

11. Stress Test • A stress test, sometimes called a treadmill test or exercise test, helps a doctor find out how well your heart handles work. As your body works harder during the test, it requires more oxygen, so the heart must pump more blood. The test can show if the blood supply is reduced in the arteries that supply the heart. It also helps doctors know the kind and level of exercise appropriate for a patient.

12. A Person Taking The Test is hooked up to equipment to monitor the heart. walks slowly in place on a treadmill. Then the speed is increased for a faster pace and the treadmill is tilted to produce the effect of going up a small hill. may be asked to breathe into a tube for a couple of minutes. can stop the test at any time if needed. afterwards will sit or lie down to have their heart and blood pressure checked.

13. Muscular Strength & Endurance • Strength — ability of a muscle group to apply maximal force against a resistance one time • Endurance — ability to repeat muscle movements for a long period of time • Tests • Sit-ups • Pull-ups

14. Body Composition • Ratio of fat to muscle, bone and other tissues • Tests • Skinfold

15. Body Mass Index (BMI) Provides an indication of the appropriateness of your weight relative to your height

18. Skill-related Fitness • 6 factors help give you a competitive edge • Agility • Balance • Power • Reaction time • Coordination • Speed

19. Agility • Ability to change body position and control movement of whole body • Tests • Shuttle-run

20. Balance • Ability to stay upright while standing or moving • Tests • Standing as long as possible on one foot • Balance board / roller board • Balance beam • Headstand / handstands

21. Do you have balance like this?

22. Power • Ability to perform with strength at a rapid pace • Tests • Vertical jump • Standing long jump

23. Reaction Time • Amount of time it takes to start movement once you receive the signal to move • Tests • Yardstick

24. Coordination • Integration of eye, hands and/or foot movement • Tests • Dribbling and shooting basketballs • Place kicking, punting footballs • Dribbling soccer balls

25. Speed • Ability to cover distances in a short time • Tests • 50-yard dash • 100-yard dash

26. Importance of Self-testing Know level of present fitness before starting a program Know how to assess and interpret results To evaluate and update your goals

27. Objectives What is the difference between health-related and skill-related physical fitness? What are the health-related components of physical fitness? What are the skill-related components of physical fitness?

28. Objectives Why does a person not have to be a good athlete to be physically fit? Why is it important to know your current level of health-related fitness?

29. Study Question

30. Study Question • Discussion • What is the difference between health-related fitness and skill-related fitness? • Why should everyone be concerned about health-related fitness? • Why is it important to know how to assess your own physical fitness level?
