Fit for life 1
This organisation defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing.
World Health Organisation (WHO)
These are the five dimensions of wellbeing
physical, social, cognitive, emotional and spiritual health
This component of the FITT principle refers to how often you exercise
Frequency
This health-related fitness component is the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen during exercise.
Cardiorespiratory (cardiovascular) endurance
These risk factors can be changed by an individual's choices and behaviours.
Modifiable risk factors
This dimension of health refers to your ability to think, learn, reason and make decisions.
Cognitive health
A BMI over 30 is classified as this condition
Obesity
This fitness component is commonly measured using a sit-and-reach test.
Flexibility
These are the four elements of the FITT principle.
Frequency, intensity, time and type
Unlike physical activity, this type of activity is planned, structured and purposeful.
Exercise
Genetics and age are examples of this type of risk factor.
Non-modifiable risk factors
This skill-related fitness component is tested using the Illinois Agility Run.
Agility
A person who sleeps well, manages stress effectively and maintains close friendships is demonstrating strength in these three dimensions of health.
Physical, emotional and social health
A Beep Test is commonly used to measure this component of fitness.
Cardiorespiratory endurance
This FITT element refers to how hard you are working during exercise.
Intensity
Tracey drank alcohol because she felt pressured by her boyfriend and peers. What is the modifiable behaviour in this scenario?
Alcohol consumption
Barry's lack of physical activity and increased snacking are likely to negatively affect this health-related fitness component.
Body composition
A basketball player quickly catching a pass and immediately changing direction demonstrates these two skill-related fitness components.
Reaction time and agility
This FITT element would increase if a runner changed from jogging for 20 minutes to jogging for 40 minutes.
Time
According to the WHO definition, a person can be free from disease but still not be considered healthy if these areas are poor.
Mental and social wellbeing
An athlete trains six days per week and wins championships but experiences severe anxiety and has poor family relationships. According to the WHO definition, this athlete may not be fully healthy because these dimensions are negatively affected.
Mental/emotional and social health
A student wants to improve their fitness by running four times per week instead of twice per week. This change affects which FITT principle element?
Frequency
Explain why cardiorespiratory endurance is considered a health-related fitness component rather than a skill-related component.
Because it directly impacts the health and functioning of the heart, lungs and circulatory system.
A soccer player completes sprint training, agility ladder drills and reaction games. Name the three skill-related fitness components being targeted.
Speed, agility and reaction time.
Give one example of a modifiable risk factor and explain how changing it could positively affect two dimensions of health.
Eg. increasing physical activity, which can improve physical health through fitness and emotional health through reduced stress and improved mood.
