Muscular Endurance

the ability of the muscles to exert themselves repeatedly.

Coordination

ability to use the senses, such as sight and hearing, together with body parts in performing motor tasks smoothly and accurately.

Speed|

relates to the ability to perform a movement within a short period of time.

Cardiovascular Endurance

the ability of the heart, blood vessels, blood, and respiratory system to supply nutrients and oxygen to the muscles and the ability of the muscles to utilize fuel to allow sustained exercise.

Movement

It is affected by muscle length, joint structure, and other factors.

Power

the ability to transfer energy into force at a fast rate.

Physical fitness

can reduce your risk for and resilience to accidental injuries, especially as you get older.

Physical inactivity

is associated with an increased risk for certain types of cancer, numerous chronic diseases, and mental health issues.

respiratory

It improves ________, cardiovascular health, and overall health.

Health Related Fitness

is the ability of the body to meet the demands of daily physical effort and activity, to have enough energy reserve for unexpected emergencies and to enjoy the feeling of well- being that regular exercise brings.

Dynamic Balance

The ability to keep the body in a desired position while moving.

Balance

relates to the maintenance of equilibrium while stationary or moving.

Fitness

________ is the young man ‘ s absolute necessity.

Static Balance

The ability to keep the body in a desired position while not moving.

Through research and scholarly inquiry, it is clear that the multidimensional characteristics of physical fitness can be divided into two areas

health related physical fitness and skill related physical fitness

Health Related Fitness (HRF)

is the ability of the body to meet the demands of daily physical effort and activity, to have enough energy reserve for unexpected emergencies and to enjoy the feeling of well-being that regular exercise brings
