Components of Fitness

Cardiorespiratory endurance is

• the body's ability to push or pull with al its force

• the ability to move a joint through it's fill range of motion

• the ability of the heart an 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

• Flexibility

• Body Composition

• Intensity

• Muscular endurance

Resistance training is

• an activity that places an additional force against a muscle or a muscle group

• the combination of balancing a healthy diet and exercise

• the best way to improve cardiorespiratory endurance

• the body's ability to use fat as an energy source

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

Which of these is NOT a function of fat mass?

• Insulate organs

• Absorb vitamins

• Burn Oxygen

• Source of energy

Being able to do to more than 12 bicep curls will help improve:

• Flexibility

• Muscular Strength

• Muscular Endurance

• Cardiorespiratory Endurance

To improve muscular strength:

• Stretch the muscles every day

• Work the muscles to near maximal force

• Complete an exercise at least 20 times

• Run five miles up and down hills

Static stretching:

• Involves the help of another person holding the body in position during a muscle contraction and then helping them with stretching after the contraction when the muscles are relaxed

• Involves moving parts of your body continuously while gradually increasing reach, speed of movement or both gently through a full range of motion

• Involves stretching a muscle to the point of mild discomfort by holding it in a maximal stretch for an extended period

• Involves rapid bobbing, bouncing or jerky movements that use the body's momentum to stretch

Dynamic stretching

• Involves the help of another person holding the body part in position during a muscle contraction and then helping with stretching after the contraction when the muscles are relaxed

• Involves moving parts of your body continuously while gradually increasing reach, speed of movement or both gently through a full range of motion

• Involves stretching a muscle to the point of mild discomfort by holding it in a maximal stretch for an extended period

• Involves rapid bobbing, bouncing or jerky movements that use the body's momentum to stretch

Why is knowledge of resting heart rate important?

• It is only used to calculate target heart rate

• It is an indicator of personal fitness levels

• It is an indicator of heart disease

• It is a measure of fitness potential
