The Components of Fitness
Since football is an invasion game, to play it I need a relatively
good standard of all round physical fitness. All different aspects of
fitness need to be of a high quality, these include skill related
fitness, cardiovascular fitness and muscular fitness.
Now I will explain in more detail what aspects of fitness I need and
why I need them to be excellent to perform at my best.
Skill Related
=============
Speed - Speed is vital because as a central midfielder I need to be
first to the ball before my opposite number. It is also important for
making forward runs as they need to be made quickly to catch the
defenders off guard. Furthermore, speed helps when attempting to get
past an opponent with the ball because when a skill is executed,
acceleration is needed to then get away from the opponent.
Co-ordination - Co-ordination is an obvious important factor when
playing football because to kick the ball correctly, good
co-ordination is needed. If swerve is going to be put on the ball, the
foot must make contact with it in a very specific area. If
co-ordination is not at its best then this would be very difficult.
Reaction Time - Good reaction time is essential because football is
very unpredictable and as a player I must be ready and prepared for
almost anything. At a corner kick, if the ball was to drop in the
area, if the attacker has the better reaction time then it would
result in a goal but if the defender has the better reaction time then
it would result in an imperative clearance.
Agility - Agility is very important in football because I need to have
very quick feet to perform skills to get past defenders. It is also
vital because the game is so unpredictable, if the ball came to me in
an awkward position I would need to rapidly adapt my body to execute
to move I wish to do.
Cardiovascular Fitness
======================

This is essential in tennis for example to be able to sprint after a ball at the other side of the court (drop shot for example). Agility - This is the ability to change direction quickly and the ability to change and control the movements of your body. This is needed to be able to change direction quickly while the ball is in play, as you are not expecting where the next ball is going within the court. Muscular Endurance - This is the ability for the muscles to work
The majority of children who play football will not avoid the inevitable and most likely sustain an injury to their body. However, there are some positive attributes for children to learn when participating in youth football. Some positive attributes children will learn are physical fitness, discipline and structure, and the importance of teamwork.

Trans theoretical Model is a health model that focuses on the individual who is ready to create new healthier habits. The theory has been widely used by the health professional to treat health behaviors such as smoking cessation, eating disorder, and physical activity. According to the process of change, an individual who received appropriate intervention is most likely to become successful. There are five stages including contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination. Pre-contemplation is where the individual has no intention to change a health behavior. Contemplation occurs if the individual thinks about moving forward, but does not exactly know where to begin.

Cause and Effect of the Fitness Movement. In our ever-changing society, the one common thread that now every American seems to possess is a desire to have a body that is not hour-glass (1950’s) nor waifish (1990’s), but one that is lean, trim, and can physically go the “extra mile”. I speculate that the all-around athletic look is so popular because it is probably one of the hardest body types to achieve. In earlier times, hour-glass figures were the product of genetics and corsets, and the emaciated Kate Moss look could simply be achieved by starvation.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is more important today than past years. With the development and improvement of myriad medicines, along with food additives and genetically engineered food it is not surprising that people need to care more for their bodies. At the same time, it has become more common for these people to understand the many components that create a strong body, and the factors that lead to health and wellness. There has been much research that indicated the several benefits obtained in people 's daily life, by incorporating the three factors that define health and wellness. These three factors include physical fitness, nutritional health, and mental health.
‘“Survival can be summed up in three words - never give up. That 's the heart of it really. Just keep trying,” said Bear Grylls.

From the second a human being like creature has formed, there are always ways for humans to survive, not matter under what circumstances. Despite all the natural disasters , humans have found ways to survive.
