The document defines and describes 9 components of physical fitness: speed, balance, cardio-respiratory endurance, muscular strength, power, agility, body composition, reaction time, and limb speed. It provides brief explanations of each component, such as speed being the maximum rate a person can move over a distance, balance being maintaining the body's center of mass, and cardio-respiratory endurance being the ability of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to transport oxygen to working muscles.

1. … the maximum rate that a person can move
Speed over a specific distance
…the maintenance of the body’s centre of mass
Balance over the base of support
Cardio- … the ability of the cardiovascular and
respiratory respiratory systems to take in an transport
endurance oxygen to working muscle sites
Muscular … the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to
strength sustain repeated contractions against a
resistance for an extended period of time
… the amount of work done per unit of time or
Power the rate at which we apply strength. May be
expressed as strength x time

2. … the ability to move and change direction and
Agility position of the body quickly while maintaining
body control and without loss of speed
Body …the relative components of total body mass in
Composition terms of fat mass and lean body mass or fat-
free mass
Reaction … the time taken to initiate a response to a
time given stimulus
Limb Speed … the ability to put body parts into motion
quickly
