aerobic endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, speed and body composition
1 of 13
what is the definition of aerobic endurance (physical component)
Aerobic endurance is the ability of cardiorespiratory system to work efficiently, supplying nutrients and oxygen to working muscles during sustained physical activity.
2 of 13
what is the definition of muscular endurance (physical component)
the ability of the muscular system to work efficiently. It’s where a muscle can continue contracting over a period of time against a light to moderate fixed resistance load.
3 of 13
what is the definition of muscular strength (physical component)
the maximum force that can be generated by a muscle or muscle grip.
4 of 13
what is the definition of flexibility (physical component)
having an adequate range of movement in all joints of the body.
5 of 13
what is the definition of speed (physical component)
speed can be found using the formula (Speed = distance/time).
6 of 13
what is the definition of body composition (physical component)
the relative ratio of fat mass to fat-free mass in the body.
7 of 13
what are the skill-related components of fitness
balance, power, agility, coordination and reaction time
8 of 13
what is the definition of balance (skill-related component)
The ability to maintain centre of mass over a base of support. There are two different types of balance. One is static balance and the other is dynamic balance.
9 of 13
what is the definition of power (skill-related component)
The result of speed and strength.
10 of 13
what is the definition of agility (skill-related component)
The ability of a sports performer to quickly and precisely move or change direction without losing balance or time. Agile sports performers can get up off the ground quickly or dodge away from other players quickly. Agility is really important in spo
11 of 13
what is the definition of coordination (skill-related component)
The smooth flow of movement needed to perform a motor task efficiently and accurately.
12 of 13
what is the definition of reaction time (skill-related component)
The time that it takes for a sports performer to respond to a stimulus and start their response. A stimulus is a change in the environment. For example, the noise from a starters gun. The time taken for you to start running after hearing the starters
