What is the Work that the Heart and Lungs do? • Pump oxygen to the working muscles
Muscle Strength • The ability to exert force (power) • Heavy weights • Just a few times • In the weight room, to develop strength, lift heavy weights 4-8 repetitions
In the weight room, lift lighter weights for 12 – 25 repetitions • Aerobic activity will build muscle endurance as you repeat muscle action over a long period of time Muscle Endurance • The ability of the muscles to work over a long period of time
Flexibility • The ability of the joints to move through the full range of motion • Flexibility increases with stretching!
Principle of Specificity • Choose a Goal • Choose the right activity to meet that goal. • What activities will improve the chosen component of fitness?
