Chapter 2 – Fitness Principles Show
Components of Health-Related FitnessIn order to carry out daily activities without being physically overwhelmed, a minimal level of fitness is required. To perform daily activities without fatigue, it is necessary to maintain health in five areas: cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and body composition. These five areas are called the components of health-related fitness. Development of these areas will improve your quality of life, reduce your risk of chronic disease, and optimize your health and well-being. Each of these 5 areas will be explored in depth at a later time. Below is a brief description of each. 1. Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability to carry out prolonged, large muscle, dynamic movements at a moderate to high level of intensity. This relates to your heart’s ability to pump blood and your lungs’ ability to take in oxygen. 2. Muscular strength is the ability of the muscles to exert force over a single or maximal effort. 3. Muscular endurance is the ability to exert a force over a period of time or repetitions. 4. Flexibility is the ability to move your joints through a full range of motion. 5. Body Composition is the relative amount of fat mass to fat-free mass. As previously stated, these areas are significant in that they influence your quality of life and overall health and wellness. Skill-Related Components of FitnessIn addition to the 5 health-related components, there are 6 skill-related components that assist in developing optimal fitness: speed, agility, coordination, balance, power, and reaction time. Although important, these areas do not directly affect a person’s health. A person’s ability to perform ladder drills (also known as agility drills) is not related to his/her long term heart health. However, coordination of muscle movements may be helpful in developing muscular strength through resistance training. As such, they may indirectly affect the 5 areas associated with health-related fitness. Skill-related components are more often associated with sports performance and skill development.

Muscular EndurancePTFnimda2019-02-07T17:08:33+00:00 Muscular EnduranceWhat is muscular endurance?Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to perform repetitive contractions against a force for an extended period of time. The greater your muscular endurance the higher number of repetitions you could complete. Do you need muscular endurance?By building muscular endurance you will be able to perform physical tasks for a longer period. Whilst strength allows you to lift a force, endurance allows you to continue doing this over time. Benefits to endurance training:

Personal Train at Work How to increase muscular endurance?Weight training – aim to complete a movement for at least 12 repetitions. If your muscles are exhausting sooner, then the weight is too heavy and you are building strength not endurance. You can use either machines or free-weights to improve your muscular endurance. Exercise slowly and controlled – avoid jerky movements and throwing the weights about. Lower the resistance slowly when training through the complete range of motion. Many people make the mistake of thinking as they are trying to perform higher repetitions that they should just move faster. Regular exercise – if you want to improve endurance you need to train on a regular basis. Ideally on a daily basis. Work on completing the minimum 12 reps, taking a short rest and then repeating for at least 3 sets on each major muscle group. Challenge the body – you need to ensure it doesn’t become too easy. When comfortable performing repetitions of an exercise, do one of the following: increase weight used, number of reps, number of sets or reduce the length of the rest period. Move better – the more efficiently you are moving the easier it will be to increase your endurance. For beginners it is key to start with simple movements when performing resistance training and building this up. Start on machines and progressing to free-weights is a great way to do this. If you think of your running technique, the more fluid this is the longer you will be able to perform as you will be working far more efficiently.
