Cardio-respiratory Endurance
Defined as…the bodies ability to be able to
exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide
between the atmosphere and the cells of
body during exercise.
This allows a person to be able to
continuously move over a period of time.

Muscular Endurance
Defined as…the ability to continue a
physical performance over a period of
time
The physical performance could either
be a muscle resistance (free weights,
exercise machine, dumbbells) or
callisthenic-type exercise
The resistance or exercise must be light
enough in weight to allow for many
repetitions (more than 12) to be
completed
NEXT
Muscular Strength
Defined as…the amount of muscular force
that can be exerted against an object
The object could be any type of resistance
equipment (examples: free weights, exercise
machines, dumbbells, your own body weight,
etc.)
The resistance or exercise must be
heavy enough in weight to only allow
for a few number of repetitions (less
than 8) to be completed

Flexibility
Defined as…the range of motion around a
joint.
The greater the range in the joint, the easier it
is for you to move and be active. It also helps
in decreasing the chance of injury with
increased flexibility
Being flexible allows for easier daily
movement (bending, twisting,
striding, etc.), as well as improved
movement while exercising or during
sports (throwing, flexing, extending,
etc.)

Flexibility
There are two main types of ways to stretch
to prepare for various types of activities as
well as increase a persons flexibility
1. Static stretching - stretching a muscle to its farthest
point and then maintaining or holding that position
for 10 seconds; best to use after working out
Static stretch examples
2. Dynamic stretching – involves moving parts of your
body, gradually increasing reach, speed of
movement, or both; best type of stretching prior to
activities or exercising – Dynamic stretch examples
