The document outlines the basic components of fitness, categorizing them into health-related and skill-related components, such as cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and flexibility. It also mentions a research study conducted in 2018 on physical fitness in children with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities, revealing that these children have very low fitness levels. Overall, the document provides essential definitions and insights into various fitness components and their implications for specific populations.

16. RESEARCH PAPER :-
 On 2018 April 11 this research was done by M. Wouters and
H.M Evehuis on physical fitness of children and adolescents
with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities. In this 128
children with ID visiting specialized day programme centers
and engaged in the field- based physical fitness test. The
result revealed that the children with moderate to severe ID
have very low physical fitness levels.
