Physical fitness refers to the ability to perform daily tasks with alertness and vigor. There are two main components of physical fitness - health-related fitness and skills-related fitness. Health-related fitness includes cardio-respiratory endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, and body composition.
