Health Related Fitness

The definition of health related fitness is health related fitness

relates to those components of health status.

Our health status is: -

Strength. Muscular endurance, Aerobic endurance, Flexibility and Body

composition.

Now I am going to explain their purpose and importance in relation to

the five components of fitness.

1. Aerobic Endurance

2. Muscular Endurance

3. Body Composition

4. Flexibility

5. Strength

Aerobic Endurance

=================

Aerobic Endurance is the body's ability to exercise whole muscle

groups over an extended period of time at moderate intensity,

utilizing aerobic energy. Your aerobic system uses oxygen to break

down carbohydrates and convert them into lasting energy. Since it's a

prolonged need, fats and proteins are also broken down, making aerobic

workouts ideal for fat loss.

Muscular Endurance

==================

Muscle Endurance is the measure of how well muscles can repeatedly

generate force, and the amount of time they can maintain activity.

Muscular Endurance is the practical use of raw strength. It is crucial

for every fitness activity, from the mostly anaerobic weight lifting

reps to intense aerobic activities like jogging (where specific

muscles in the legs are used repeatedly.) Muscular endurance combines

both aerobic and anaerobic energy.

Body Composition

Body composition is the amount of body fat and lean body tissue in an

individual.

Flexibility

Flexibility is the range of motion at a given joint. As an example,

your shoulders should allow you to reach behind your back and touch

...uldn’t need explosive energy because they will

need to keep all the energy they need o get round the marathon.

So a 100 metre Sprinter will have to have a good muscular endurance

level because they will need to be getting all the blood pumping into

there legs as they will need to run as fast as there legs can move.

They will need to have some flexibility as they will need to be able

to jump up as fast as the can out of the blocks when the gun goes off

to start the race.

They will need aerobic endurance, as they will us less oxygen when

they race begins, as they will be putting everything into the sprint

as they can.

There body composition will be different to a marathon runner because

they will be a bigger size as there muscles will be bigger as they

will need to have as much strength and power as they can.
