27. CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE
is the ability of the heart, lungs and
blood vessel to deliver oxygen to
working muscles and tissues and how
they utilize oxygen.
ENDURANCE ability of the muscle to
do repeated work without fatigue

28. Muscular strength is the amount of force a muscle
can produce. The example physical activities are
bench press, leg press, and bicep curl. The push up
test is most often used to test muscular strength.
Muscular endurance is the ability of the muscles to
perform continuously without fatiguing. The examples
of physical activities are cycling, step machines, and
elliptical machines. The sit up test is most often used
to test muscular endurance.

29. ▪Flexibility is the ability of each joint to move
through the available range of motion for a
specific joint. The example of physical
activities are stretching individual muscles or
the ability to perform certain functional
movements such as the lunge. The sit and
reach test is most often used to test flexibility.

30. ▪Body composition is the amount of fat mass
compared to lean muscle mass, bone and organs.
This can be measured using underwater weighing,
Skinfold readings, and bioelectrical impedance.
Underwater weighing is considered the “gold
standard” for body fat measurement, however
because of the size and expense of the equipment
needed very few places are set up to do this kind
of measurement.

31. SKILL RELATED FITNESS

38. Brief History and the Origin of Athletics
In order to find the origins of the Athletics we would have to go very far
back in history because Athletics is one of the world’s oldest sporting
events. In fact, Olympic Games as we know it today developed from the
ancient track and field events that very being held in Ancient Greece.
However, some historians trace the origins of the Athletics back in 10th
or even 9th century BC.
In the ancient Olympia in Greece back in the year 776 B.C. were the
first Olympic Games held. During that game, only track and field was
the only event. The first winner ever was Koroibus. Athletics or rather
some of the aspects of athletics were present at the Panhellenic
Games that were held in Greece and from there the ideas and the main
concepts of the Athletics spread to Italy around the year 200 B.C.

39. During the next several centuries Athletics developed in slow
steps. However, during the Middle Ages the new wave of the
track and field development began. During that time track and
field developed in the Northern part of Europe. Track and field
as we know it today began developing in the 19th century
when first competitions in track and field took places. In that
time, those track and field competitions primary were
organized by educational institutions, sport clubs and some
military organizations. The events organized by these
institutions were actually the one that included the hurdle
races.

40. During this period, first National Athletics Associations
have been established and shortly after was the first
national competitions took place. Among the first
associations which organized such competitions was
Amateur Athletic Association of England which organized
in 1880 the annual AAA Championship. Even before
England, the New York Athletic Club from the United
States organized the first USA Outdoor Track and Field
Championship back in 1876.

41. One of the biggest milestones for the development of the
Athletics came back in 1896 at the Summer Olympic
Games. In those Games in Athens, track and field together
with a marathon comprised the majority of the sporting
events. Besides, those Games are also important because
for the first time they introduced the metric measurement
that was used in the track and field competitions. During the
next couple of decades, the development of the track and
field, or rather, the athletics in general, put the Athletics on
the path of becoming the most important aspect of the
Olympic Games for every games in the future.

42. In 1912, the second milestone in the development of the
Athletics occurred when the International Amateur Athletic
Federation or IAAF was founded which became the
international governing body for track and field. The officials
of the IAAF of that time emphasized the importance of the
amateurism for the athletics and it became of the basic
principle which IAAF will continue to operate. Up until the
early 1920’s, track and field was only a male sport event.
Women became part of the athletics only after women’s
sport movement organized Women’s World Games back in
1921. However, women for the first time participated in track
and field competitions at the Olympic Games back in 1928
Summer Olympic Games.
