    enough energy to
    avoid fatigue and
    HEALTH-RELATED
    COMPONENTS:
     1. Aerobic Capacity – is
    the ability of the heart,
    lungs, and blood vessels to
    supply oxygen and nutrients
    to the working muscles.
     Activity Test: Running or
    jogging
     2. Muscular Strength – is
    the ability of the muscle to
    generate the greatest force.
    One repetition maximum is
    the heaviest load that can
    be lifted in one repetition.
     Activity Test: Weight Lifting
     3. Muscular Endurance – is
    the ability of the muscle to
    resist fatigue when performing
    multiple repetitions of a
    submaximal load. It can also
    refer to the period of time in
    which a muscle is able to hold a
    contraction.
     Activity Test: Curl-up & Push-up
     4. Flexibility – is the
    ability to move a joint
    without pain over its entire
    range of motion.
     Activity Test: Sit and Reach
    and Zipper Test
     Body Composition –
    refers to the total make up
    of the body: the lean body
    mass and the body fat.
     Activity Test: Waist
    Circumference
    Importance of an
    Active Lifestyle
     Physical activity or
    exercise was proven to
    improve overall health
    and fitness. As such, it:
     Improves bone, joint and
    muscle strength
     Develops motor control
    and coordination
     Helps maintain a healthy
    body composition
     Improves the psychological
    functioning of a person
     Increases the efficiency of
    the lungs and the heart
     Increases muscle strength
    and endurance
     Protects from
    musculoskeletal problems
    such “low” back pain
     Possibly delays the aging
    process
     Reduces the risk of
    cardiovascular diseases such
    as coronary artery disease
    and stroke
     Promotes healthy cholesterol
    level

    generally classified as:
    1. Aerobic Exercises
     It involves large muscle
    groups (e.g. thighs) that
    perform rhythmic and
    continuous movement for a
    prolonged period of time in
    order to improve aerobic
    capacity.
     Examples: swimming , biking,
    jogging, dancing, hiking
    2. Resistance Exercises
     It require the muscles to
    contract against an
    external load (e.g. barbell)
    in order to improve
    muscular strength,
    muscular endurance and
    bone strength.
    3. Stretching Exercises
     It increases the elasticity
    of muscles and tendons
    surrounding the joint in
    order to improve flexibility.
     Example: Static
    Stretching, dynamic
    stretching
