3. Scully (1994) defined physical fitness as the
ability of an individual to carry out daily tasks
efficiently with enough physical capacity to
cope with the physical needs of life. Similarly,
a person is said to be physically fit if he/she
possesses the strength and stamina to carry
out his/her tasks without undue fatigue and
still has enough energy to enjoy leisure and to
cope with unforeseen emergencies.

health. Obtaining and maintaining physical
fitness is a result of physical activity, proper
diet and nutrition and of course adequate

6. The physical fitness describes many
forms of movement, including activities
that involve the different groups of
muscles: Activities that include the small
skeletal muscles, for example, playing
board games, drawing, and writing are

health benefits of activities that involve
the large skeletal muscles and require
substantial energy expenditure.

beneficial to the individual. When we make time
for physical fitness in our lives, we set an example
for those around us, Parents who are physically fit
are much more likely to raise children who are
health conscious and maintain a higher level of
fitness. When health and physical fitness are

will have much less illness and disease, longer life
spans, and better mental and social adjustment.
