tested to set scores.
Skill related – ability to perform an
activity, task or sport (motor
fitness).
COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL
FITNESS…
Aerobic endurance
Muscular Endurance
Flexibility
Speed
Strength
Body composition
AEROBIC ENDURANCE
Aerobic endurance – the ability of the
cardiovascular system to supply working muscles
with oxygen to maintain exercise for a long
period of time.
MUSCULAR ENDURANCE
Muscular Endurance – ability to maintain high
level of muscle contractions repeatedly.
FLEXIBILITY
Flexibility – ability of a specific joint to move
through a full range of movement (full extent of
movement).
SPEED
Speed – ability to cover a specific
distance in the shortest possible
time.
STRENGTH
Strength – ability of a specific muscle or muscle
group to exert a force in a single maximal
contraction to overcome a form of resistance.
Static
The strength
you need to
push or pull a
heavy object, or
hold up a heavy
weight.
Dynamic
This is the
strength
needed to
move a heavy
load.
Explosive
This is the
strength you
need for a
single explosive
act.
BODY COMPOSITION
Body composition – percentage of
fat-free mass compared to fat within
the body (Somatotype).
Skill-Related Fitness
This is the ability of the body to carry
out tasks effectively and efficiently.
It usually requires some sort of
learning.
COMPONENTS OF SKILLRELATED FITNESS
Agility
Balance
Co-ordination
Power
Reaction time
POWER
Power – ability to generate and use
muscular strength quickly over a short
period of time.
Agility
This is the ability to change the position of the
body quickly whilst keeping control of it.
Balance
Balance is the ability to retain the centre of
mass above the base of support.
Maintaining equilibrium when moving or still.
Dynamic
balances are
moving balances.
Examples are
gym sequences
on the beam.
Static
This is a still
balance. Examples
are handstand or
headstand.
The smaller the
base the more
difficult the
balance.
Power
This is the ability to do strength performances
quickly.
Power = strength + speed.
Co-ordination
This is the ability to move two or more body parts
smoothly and accurately.
Reaction Time
This is the time taken to respond to a stimulus.
A stimulus is something that causes us to act in
some way. E.g. The gun at the start of the 100m.
The quicker we can move in response to a
stimulus, the quicker our reactions are.
