Fitness
components
Learning Outcomes• Know- the health and skill related fitness components
• Understand- How each component can benefit a sporting
performance
• Be able to- Describe each component using the key
terminology.
Fitness components
Aerobic
Endurance
Muscular
Endurance
Flexibility
Fitness components
(6)
Power
Speed
Muscular
Strength
Aerobic Endurance
The ability of the
cardiorespiratory system to work
efficiently supplying nutrients and
oxygen to working muscles during
physical activity.
- Important for daily activities
- Many sports form the base of
fitness for many sports
- Poor aerobic endurance leads
to a poor performance
Muscular Endurance
The ability of the muscular
system to work efficiently,
specific muscle group
contracting over a period of
time.
Flexibility (Two Main types)
Having an adequate range of motion in all joints of the body.
Static and dynamic flexibility
Static Flexibility
Dynamic Flexibility
The range of movement a muscle
or joint can achieve
The range of movement a muscle
or joint can achieve when in
motion
- Limited by the structure of the
bones, joints, muscle size and
muscle tone.
- Limited by co-ordination and
your level of static flexibility
Flexibility?
• Poor flexibility:
-decrease range of movement
- Increase the chance of injury and stiffness
- Decrease sporting performance
•
-
Flexibility Limitations:
Body composition
Genetics
Gender
Muscle and tendon elasticity
- Too much flexibility at an injury can lead to injury due to
excessive range of movements
Strength
The ability a muscle or muscle group to exert a force in a single
maximal contraction.
Strength is required in all sports
but just in varying degrees.
Speed
The ability to move over a certain distance in the quickest
possible time
• Speed endurance is a secondary element combining with
anaerobic endurance- team sports.
Power
The ability to generate and use muscular strength quickly.
- Needed by athletes in specific sports
Cubing Task
• Complete a cube with 6 questions based on the components
of physical fitness:
Aerobic Endurance
Muscular Endurance
Flexibility
Strength
Speed
Power
Make the questions as hard as possible with
the answer underneath.
Ensure you number each question 1-6.
Other components of physical
fitness
Body Composition
Agility
Balance
Coordination
Reaction time
Body composition
The amount of body fat and
lean body tissue
Three types of body
compositions:
- Ectomorph
- Endomorph
- Mesomorph
Agility
The ability to change directions
many times quickly and
accurately in a sports
performance whilst maintain
control.
Balance
Able to maintain stability or
equilibrium while performing.
Dynamic or static balance?
Equilibrium: a state in which opposing
forces or influences are balanced.
Co-ordination
The smooth flow of
movement needed to
perform a motor task
efficiently and accurately
OR
The ability to use two or
more body parts together
with control
Reaction Time
The time taken for a sports
performer to respond to a stimulus
and the initiation of their
response.
Cubing
• Complete another cube with the other components of
physical fitness:
Body Composition
Agility
Balance
Coordination
Reaction time
Make the questions as hard as possible.
