This document defines physical fitness and its components. Physical fitness is the capacity to carry out daily activities without undue fatigue. It has two main components: health-related fitness (HRF) and skill-related fitness (SRF). HRF includes body composition, cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength, muscle endurance, and flexibility. SRF includes reaction time, speed, agility, balance, coordination. Examples are provided to illustrate how different physical activities activate various fitness components.

1. PHYSICAL FITNESS
capacity to carry out the day’s activities without undue fatigue.

2. FATIGUE
• extreme tiredness, typically
resulting from mental or physical
exertion or illness

3. COMPONENT OF PHYSICAL FITNESS

4. COMPONENT OF PHYSICAL FITNESS

5. HRF:BODY COMPOSITION-percentages of fat,
bone, water and muscle in human bodies

6. HRF: CARDIOVASCULAR
ENDURANCE
• Stamina
• is the ability to exercise
continuously for extended
periods without tiring.

7. HRF: MUSCLE
STRENGTH
refers to the amount of force a muscle can
produce with a SINGLE maximal effort

8. HRF: MUSCLE
ENDURANCE
• the ability of a muscle or group of
muscles to sustain REPEATED
contractions against a resistance for
an extended period of time.

9. HRF:FLEXIBILITY
• range of movement in a joint or series of
joints, and length in muscles that cross the
joints to induce a bending movement or
motion.

10. SRF: REACTION TIME
the ability to respond quickly to a stimulus

11. SRF: SPEED
the ability to
move quickly
across the ground
or move limbs
rapidly to grab or
throw.

12. SRF: AGILITY ability to move quickly and
easily.

13. SRF: BALANCE
the ability to stay upright or stay in control
of body movement

14. SRF:
COORDINATION
the ability to move two or more body
parts under control, smoothly and
efficiently

15. LOOK AT THE PICTURE, IDENTIFY
WHAT IS IT AND IDENTIFY THE
COMPONENTS NEEDED
• REACTION TIME
• HAND AND EYE COORDINATION

17. Look at the following pictures. Identify their action
and the corresponding fitness component it
activated.
