Physical Fitness
the ability of the body's physical parts to function, and is measured by the level at which
these physical parts are capable of functioning
What are the five primary components of fitness?
1) Cardiorespiratory endurance
2) Muscular Strength
3) Muscular Endurance
4) Flexibility
5) Body Composition
Cardiorespiratory endurance
The capacity of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to deliver oxygen to the
working muscles for sustained periods of energy production
Muscular Strength
The maximum force that can be exerted by a muscle or muscle group against a
resistance
Muscular Endurance
The capacity of a muscle to exert force repeatedly or to hold a fixed or static contraction
over time
Flexibility
The ability of limbs to move at the joints through a normal range of motion
Body composition
The body's relative percentage of fat as compared to lean tissue (bones, muscle, and
organs)
What are the six skill-related components of fitness?
1) Balance
2) Coordination
3) Speed
4) Power
5) Agility
6) Reaction Time
Balance
Controlling the position of the body's center of gravity, or maintenance of equilibrium
while stationary (static balance) or moving (dynamic balance).
Coordination
The integration of many separate motor skills or movements into one efficient pattern
Speed
The rate at which a movement or activity can be performed
Power
A function of strength and speed. The ability to transfer energy into force at a quick rate.
Agility
The ability to rapidly and fluently change body positioning during movement
Reaction Time
, The amount of time elapsed between stimulation and acting upon the stimulus
What are the fitness programming and design components for the ACSM
guidelines and reccomendations?
1) Mode of training (or exercise)
2) Frequency of training
3) Intensity of training
4) Duration of training
5) Flexibility
6) Neuromuscular exercises
Skeletal System
all bones, including cartilage and joints
Muscular
All muscles including ligaments and tendons
Digestive
digestive tract, including liver, gallbladder, and pancreas
Lateral
Away from the midline of the body
supine
face up
prone
face down
Long bones
1)longer than they are wide; found in appendages
2 Contain a diaphysis (shaft), and two ends the epophysis
i.e. femur, tibia, fibula, radius, ulna, and humerus
Short bones
1) = W and L, cuboidal
i.e. wrist and ankle
Flat bones
1) Thin and generally flat
2) Protection and surface area for muscles to attach
i.e. cranial bones and scapula
Irregular Bones
1) Complex shapes
i.e. vertebrae
Periosteum
1) Dense,white,fibrous sheath that covers the surface of the bone
2) Where the muscles and tendons attach
Medullary Cavity
Cavity within the shaft of the long bones filled with yellow fatty bone marrow
Endosteum
Layer of cells that line the Medullary Cavity
Ossification
Bone formation
Epiphyseal Plates
