What are five elements of fitness? Define each element
The five elements of fitness are cardiorespiratory endurance (you can run a mile or do a long hike without tiring), muscular strength (putting stress on the muscles through lifting, pushing, or jumping), muscular endurance (the power to carry out daily tasks, such as carrying boxes), flexibility (bending or stretching), and body composition (the ratio of lean tissue in your body.)

Why are progression and regularity important in building an effective fitness program?
Sample answer: Progression means gradually increasing the demands on your body within a physical activity program. This is important because by working harder each time you become more physically fit. Regularity means continuing to work out on a regular basis. This is important so that you maintain your level of fitness.
What is cardiorespiratory endurance, and how can you measure it?
Sample answer: Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to send fuel and oxygen to your tissues during long peri-ods of moderate to vigorous activity. You can measure cardiorespiratory endurance by doing a three-minute “stress test,” which entails stepping up and down on a bench for three minutes and then taking your pulse.
