Health-related fitness components

Includes the principles of physical activity and FITT principles

– is the ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to supply oxygen to your body tissues during physical activities

Cardiovascular endurance

– is the maximum amount of force a muscle can exert in a single effort

Muscular strength

– the ability of a muscle to continue to perform without fatigue

Muscular  endurance

– the ability to bend and move the joints throughout a full range of motion

Flexibility

- This is the most basic principle that indicates doing “more than normal” for improvement to happen. In order for the skeletal muscles to get stronger, additional load must be added and greater load exerted than what was used to. 

Overload principle

It is a gradual increase in exerting effort or load that is done not too slowly, nor too rapidly. This principle aids safe and effective results.

Principle of Progression.

. This suggests that overloading must specifically train a desired body part for it to improve.

Principle of Specificity

Development of muscles will take place if regular movement and execution is done, and if activity ceases, it will be reversed. This shows that the benefits and changes achieved from overload will last only if training is continuous. The effect of training is lost if the training is discontinued.

Principle of Reversibility.

• of exercise refers to the number of times a physical activity is done each week.

Recommended to exercise 3-5 days per week

frequency

• - the rate at which the activity is performed

  • Disease how easy or how hard a person has to work in a certain activity (light, moderate, vigorous)

• Intensity

•  - determined by following the principle of progression and specificity.

  • To attain a higher level of fitness, select the type of physical activity that challenges the body to accept an increase in work ans answers you need

• Type

- duration/length of a session of a physical activity

Time

- is another name for metabolic equivalent, a measure of exercise intensity based on oxygen consumption
