Main Idea
Elements of Fitness
Five elements of fitness all affect your health in
different ways.
The five elements are cardiorespiratory
endurance, muscular strength, muscular
endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness
LESSON 2 Improving Your Fitness
Lesson Home
cardiorespiratory endurance
The ability of your heart, lungs, and blood vessels
to send fuel and oxygen to your tissues during
long periods of moderate to vigorous activity.
New Vocabulary
Elements of Fitness
If you have cardiorespiratory endurance, you
can run a mile or go on a long hike without
tiring.
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness
LESSON 2 Improving Your Fitness
Lesson Home
muscular strength
The amount of force your muscles can exert.
New Vocabulary
Elements of Fitness
You need muscular strength for all kinds of
activity that put stress on your muscles, such as
lifting, pushing, and jumping.
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness
LESSON 2 Improving Your Fitness
Lesson Home
muscular endurance
The ability of your muscles to perform physical
tasks over a period of time without tiring.
New Vocabulary
Elements of Fitness
Muscular endurance gives you the power to
carry out daily tasks without fatigue, such as
carrying boxes up and down a flight of stairs.
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness
LESSON 2 Improving Your Fitness
Lesson Home
flexibility
The ability to move your body parts through their
full range of motion.
New Vocabulary
Elements of Fitness
Flexibility can improve your athletic
performance and reduce your risk of muscle
strain and other injuries.
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness
LESSON 2 Improving Your Fitness
Lesson Home
Elements of Fitness
Your body composition is the ratio of fat to lean
tissue in your body.
Having low overall body fat reduces your risk of
cardiovascular disease and other health
problems associated with being overweight.
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness
LESSON 2 Improving Your Fitness
Lesson Home
Main Idea
Evaluating Your Fitness
You can use different tests to evaluate each
element of your fitness.
You can use tests to measure your
cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength,
and endurance, and flexibility.
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness
LESSON 2 Improving Your Fitness

Main Idea
Getting Fit
Use different forms of exercise to improve the
various elements of your fitness.
Most exercises and activities fit into two basic
categories: aerobic and anaerobic.
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness
LESSON 2 Improving Your Fitness
Lesson Home
aerobic exercise
All rhythmic activities that use large muscle
groups for an extended period of time.
New Vocabulary
Getting Fit
Aerobic exercise raises your heart rate and
increases your body’s use of oxygen. Jogging,
swimming, and riding a bicycle are examples.
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness
LESSON 2 Improving Your Fitness
Lesson Home
anaerobic exercise
Intense, short bursts of activity in which the
muscles work so hard that they produce energy
without using oxygen.
New Vocabulary
Getting Fit
Sprinting and lifting weights are examples of
anaerobic exercise.
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness
LESSON 2 Improving Your Fitness
Lesson Home
Improving Cardiorespiratory Endurance
Aerobic exercise increases your heart rate and
pumps more blood throughout your body.
Over time, your heart and lungs adapt to the
demands made by aerobic activity by working
more efficiently.
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness
LESSON 2 Improving Your Fitness
Lesson Home
Improving Cardiorespiratory Endurance
Anaerobic exercises improve muscular strength
and endurance.
Exercises like lifting weights strengthen the
muscles and are known as resistance or strength
training.
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness

Ways to Use Resistance to Work Your Muscles
Isometric
Exercises
Isokinetic
Exercises
Isotonic
Exercises
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness
LESSON 2 Improving Your Fitness
Lesson Home
Improving Muscular Strength and Endurance
Isometric exercise use muscle tension to
improve strength with little or no movement of
the body part.
Pushing against a wall or other immovable
object is an example of isometric exercise.
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness
LESSON 2 Improving Your Fitness
Lesson Home
Improving Muscular Strength and Endurance
Isotonic exercises combine movement of the
joints with contraction of the muscles, building
flexibility and strength.
Lifting free weights or doing calisthenics, such as
pull-ups, push-ups, and sit-ups are examples of
isotonic exercises.
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness
LESSON 2 Improving Your Fitness
Lesson Home
Improving Muscular Strength and Endurance
Isokinetic exercises exert resistance against a
muscle as it moves through a range of motion at
a steady rate of speed.
Various types of weight machines and other
exercise equipment provide isokinetic exercise.
Glencoe Health Chapter 12 Physical Activity and Fitness
LESSON 2 Improving Your Fitness
Lesson Home
Improving Flexibility
Stretching exercises improve your flexibility,
circulation, postures, and coordination.
They also reduce your risk of injury during other
activities.

Principles of building fitness
Effective fitness plans focus on 4 principles
1. Specificity – choosing the right types of
activities to improve a given element of
fitness
2. Overload– exercising at a level that’s beyond
your regular daily activities – grow stronger
3. Progression– gradually increasing the
demands on your body – working harder and
longer each time
4. Regularity – working out on a regular basis

Stages of a workout
3 stages – warm up – workout – cool down
1. Warm up – prepares muscles for work.
Increases blood flow, delivers needed
oxygen
2. Workout– exercising at your highest peak
FITT
F-FREQUENCY
I – INTENSITY
T – TYPE OF ACTIVITY
T – TIME (DURATION)
3. Cool down – allows your heart rate to lower,
breathing to calm down and body temp to return
