FIVE COMPONENTS OF HEALTH-RELATED FITNESS
1.CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE-is the ability of the circulatory and respiratory
systems to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity. Examples: Pacer & Mile
2.MUSCULAR STRENGTH-is the maximum amount of force a muscle can produce in a single
effort.
3.MUSCULAR ENDURANCE-is the ability of the muscle to continue to perform without
fatigue. Examples: Curl ups & Push ups
4.FLEXIBILTY-is the ability to bend and move the joints through the full range of motion.
Examples: Sit and reach test
5. BODY COMPOSITION-is a high ratio of lean tissue to fat tissue in the body.
Aerobic VS Anaerobic Exercise
Aerobic exercise-physical activity that uses the heart and lungs over an extended
period of time such as jogging, rowing, swimming, or cycling.
Anaerobic means without oxygen. Anaerobic exercise consists of brief intense
bursts of physical activity, such as weightlifting and sprints, where oxygen demand
surpasses oxygen supply.
Heart Rate Monitor
HR-Heart Rate-the amount of times your heart beats per minute.
RHR-Resting Heart Rate-Your resting heart rate is the number of times your heart
beats per minute while it’s at rest.
THR-Target Heart Rate Zone- The age specific range/zone that you should be in
while exercising. For middle school students the zone is about 125 to 160 bpm.
BMP-Beats Per Minute-The unit of measurement used when assessing heart rate. To
find your beats per minute, take heart rate for 6 seconds and then times it by 10.
