Health related fitness (5HRF) linked to body.

  • Cardiovascular fitness - Is the ability to exercise the whole body for long periods of time and is sometimes called stamina. (e.g. Long distance running, swimming)
  • Muscular strength - Is the amount of force a muscle can exert against a resistance. It helps sportspeople to hit, tackle and throw. (e.g. weight lifting)
  • Muscular endurance - The ability to move smaller weights repeatedly without getting tired. (e.g. Rowing, cycling)
  • Flexibility - The range of movement at a joint (e.g. Gymnastics, trampolineing)
  • Body composition - Is the make-up of the body. What % is fat , what is muscle and what is fat. (e.g. sumo wrestling, jockeying)

Skill related fitness (6 SRF) linked to sport and

  • Speed - How fast you can travel from A to B (E.g. 100m sprint)
  • Reaction time - How quickly you respond to a stimulus. (E.g. running, 100m sprint-reaction to start gun)
  • Co-ordination - The ability to move 2 body parts at the same time. (E.g. Football, tennis, rugby, badminton)
  • Power - The combination of speed and strength. The equation is Power=speed x strength. (E.g. shot put, javelin, baseball)
  • Balance - The ability to control the body's position, either stationary (E.g. a handstand) or while moving (E.g. a gymnastics stunt) and to maintain your centre of gravity.
  • Agility - Ability to change direction quickly or at speed. (E.g Most sports require an element of agility...Football, tennis, rugby, rounders)

Principles of training (SPORT)

Specificity - training must be matched to the needs of the sporting activity to improve fitness in the body parts the sport uses. Progression - gradually increasing your training to improve your abilities

Overload - increasing the FITT principles to push your body past its boundries.

  • Frequency
  • Intensity
  • Time
  • Type

Reversability - any adaptation that takes place as a result of training will be reversed when you stop training. If you take a break or don’t train often enough you will lose fitness.

Tedium - Try to vary your training, to keep you interested and to give your body a different challenge.

The missing P for SPORT is Progression. This is gradually increasing your training to stedily improve your ability. It can team together with overload to make progressive overload, which is basicly the two definitions or principles stuck together. :) hope this helps you!!
