Exercise
Fitness
Performance
• Remember: Definitions are important- if you
cannot explain the terms then you cannot access
higher marks.
Cardiovascular Fitness (CV Fitness)
• The Efficiency of the
Heart, Lungs and Blood
Vessels to deliver O2 to
working muscle tissue.
• CV fitness is the most
important aspect of
HRF.
• This fitness is concerned
with long hard matchesit is essential to
developing other parts
of fitness.
Key Term:
The ability to exercise the
entire body for long
periods of time.
Muscular Strength.
• Enables the lifting of
very heavy weights.
• This can be developed by
lifting very heavy weights
with few repetitions.
• Good in Olympic
Weightlifting or Scrums
in RU.
• Steroids are also
associated with this areaalthough steroids are
illegal.
Key Term:
The amount of force a
muscle can exert against
a resistance.
Muscular Endurance.
• Enables muscles to be
exercised repeatedly
without getting unduly
tired e.g. Running or
Swimming.
• Exercises that test this
are press-ups, Sit-ups etc.
• Games such as tennis are
also included.
• What about everyday
life?
Key Term:
The ability to use voluntary
muscles many times
without getting tired.
Flexibility.
• Flexibility is often
neglected but is needed
in all areas.
• Touch your toes!
• Gymnasts are often the
most flexible- badminton
players etc.
• Q: What activities can
help improve flexibility?
• Q: Why is this important
for later life?
Key Term:
The range of movement
possible at a joint.
Body Composition.
• This is influenced by
genetics although it can
be influenced by diet and
exercise.
• What’s your Body
Composition?
• Elite athletes work hard
to develop better body
composition.
• Body Composition can
be controlled with a well
organised PEP.
Key Term:
The percentage of body
weight that is fat, muscle
and bone.
Task: BMI Index
• Chose 2 sports
performers and
calculate their BMI
Index.
• Do this by dividing
weight (KGs) by
height (M2)
• Are the results
surprising?
Health Related Exercise in Action…
• Not all aspects of HRE are needed
in equal amounts or at all.
• Marathon runners do not need
muscular strength but do need
muscular endurance.
• Flexibility will also enable them to
have a good stride length.
• CV Fitness will need to be high to
allow them to compete at a high
level.
• Body Composition?
PEP: Homework.
• Make a note of your favourite activity (This can
be one from PE or outside of school)
• Now list the relevant Health-related fitness
aspects in order of importance.
• Also… note down how these aspects can be
tested.
• This will give us a good start to your PEPDeciding your activity and the areas you know
the most about (making it easier to write about).
Any Questions?
See you on Friday 
