Health- related components are as mentioned in the name focusing on improving general health. While performance-related are focusing on improving a specific type of performance for example certain athletes need to train their agility, speed and balance for their sport while others may need more power and reaction time.

6. Separation of components into health-related and performance-related may not be an ideal model. Give one argument on this topic.

It may lead to a average person looking to become more fit to avoid the performance-related components as they feel it is not for them since they are not serious athtletes, but Balance and Coordination can also be very important components of fitness as they can help avoid serious falls in older adults.
