Fitness
O a. Health-Related
O 1. Body composition- The ratio of muscle
to fat in the body. Having a high
percentage of body fat compared to lean
muscle has shown to increase risk of heart
disease, certain cancers, strokes, and
diabetes. Doing daily cardiovascular
exercise and strength training, along with a
healthy diet, will help to reduce body fat
and increase lean muscle mass.

O4. Power- The ability to
use muscle strength
quickly. Power can be

producing capabilities of
muscles; decrease the time

distance due to faster
speed; and increase the
distance a force acts on
one’s body. Examples of
power: in track and field-
the running long jump or
high jump.
