Components of physical fitness
The ability to bend and move the joints
through the full range of motion.
Flexibility
A gradual, slow stretch in which the
end position is held for a short time
(10-60 seconds).
Static stretching
The ability to change body position and
direction quickly and efficiently.
Agility
An exercise program in which one
moves around a prescribed course
(i.e. a circuit), stopping at each station
to perform a specified exercise.
Circuit training
The number of times your heart beats per minute while you are at rest, such as when you are sitting, or lying down.
Resting heart rate
The ability of your heart, lungs, and circulatory system to supply oxygen and nutrients to your muscles during exercise
Cardiorespiratory endurance
How much energy you use when you work out
Intensity
The ability to maintain the body in
proper equilibrium.
Balance
A way of life which values physical
activity as an essential part of living;
characterized by the integration of
physical activity into daily routines and
recreation.
Active lifestyle
Your target heart rate during exercise is the level at which your heart beats with moderate to high intensity
Anaerobic heart rate
The maximum amount of force a
muscle can produce in a single effort.
Muscular strength
A brief (5 to 15 minute) period of low
intensity exercise & stretches that immediately
follows the primary conditioning period.
Cool down
The ability to synchronize, or combine
at the same time, movements of several
parts of the body.
Coordination
A combination of cardio and strength exercises that involves short bursts of intense activity followed by brief recovery period
High-intensity interval training (HIIT)
Your heart rate during the day, while seated and awake
Resting heart rate
The ability of a muscle to continue to
perform without fatigue.
Muscular endurance
A brief (5 to 15 minute) period of exercise that
precedes the workout. Intended to elevate muscle temperature and increase blood flow to the muscles that will be engaged in the workout, exercise, or competition.
Warm up
The ability to produce maximum force
in the shortest time.
Power
The parts of fitness needed to
successfully perform dynamic
movement or complex performance
tasks; the 6 components include agility,
balance, coordination, power, speed,
and reaction time.

How to calculate max heart rate
The high ratio of lean tissue to fat
tissue in the body.
Body composition
An exercise or fitness routine in which
movement, momentum, and active
muscular effort are used to stretch
muscles. End positions are not held.
Dynamic movements
The time it takes to respond to what a
person can hear, see, or feel.
Reaction Time
Physical fitness primarily associated
with disease prevention and functional
health; the 5 components include
cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular
strength, muscular endurance, body
composition, and flexibility.
