Five Components of Fitness

Cardiorespiratory Endurance is

• the body's ability to push or pull with all its force
• the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion
• the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the body
• the body's response to a flexibility program

The muscle's ability to work over  a long period of time is

• flexibility
• body composition
• intensity
• muscular endurance

Resistance Training

• places additional force against a muscle or muscle group
• combines or balances a healthy diet and exercise
• improves cardiorespiratory endurance most efficiently
• uses the  body's fat as an energy source

Resistance training helps

• develop flexibility
• regulate your diet
• control body composition
• lower your heart rate

Which is a function of fat mass?

• Build muscle
• Grow bone
• Burn oxygen
• Supply energy

Doing more than 12 bicep curls will help improve

• flexibility
• muscular strength
• cardiorespiratory endurance
• muscular endurance

Body composition refers to

• the combination of fat-free mass and fat mass
• the number of fat cells a person is born with
• how tall a person is compared to his/her height and weight
• the number of push-ups a person can do compared to his/her weight

To improve muscular strength

• stretch your muscles every day
• work your muscles to near maximal force
• complete an exercise at least 20 minutes
• run five miles up and down hills

Static stretching involves

• helping another person by holding the body part in position during the muscle contraction
• moving parts of your body continuously while gradually increasing reach through a full range of motion
• stretching a muscle to the point of mild discomfort by holding it in a near maximal stretch for an extended period
• rapid bobbing, bouncing, or jerky movements that use your body's momentum to stretch

Dynamic stretching involves

• helping another person by holding the body part in position during the muscle contraction and then helping with stretching after the contraction when the muscles are relaxed
• moving parts of your body continuously while gradually increasing reach, speed of movement or both gently through a full range of motion
• stretching a muscle to the point of mild discomfort by holding it in a maximal stretch for an extended period
• rapid bobbing, bouncing or jerky movements that use your body's momentum to stretch
