ability to perform one’s tasks
efficiently without undue
fatigue but with extra reserve
in case of emergency

4. The
Components of
Physical
Fitness

5. COMPONENTS:
• CARDIOVASCULAR
ENDURANCE
• BODY COMPOSITION
• FLEXIBILITY
• MUSCULAR ENDURANCE
• MUSCULAR STRENGHT

6. SKILLS:
• SPEED
• AGILITY
• BALANCE
• COORDINATION
• REACTION TIME
• POWER

7. The Components of
Physical Fitness
• Body Composition
• Organic Vigor
• Endurance
• Strength
• Power
• Flexibility
• Agility
• Balance
• Speed

• Reaction Time

8. Body Coposition
–The ratio of muscle of fat
in the body.
–Having a high percentage
of body fat compared to
lean muscle has shown to
increase risk of heart
disease, cancers, strokes,
and diabetes.

9. Organic Vigor

10. Running a marathon is a great
example of cardiovascular endurance.

11. Endurance

12. A long-distance cycling race is a
good example of muscular endurance.

13. Strength

14. The Shot-put in Track and Field is a
good example of strength, power, and
coordination.

15. The walking lunge is a great way to
improve muscular strength, balance, and
coordination.

16. Power
•It is a
combination of
strength and
speed for a
movement to be
explosive.

17. The Long-Jump in Track and Field is a
great example of power, speed, and
coordination.

18. Ways on how to effectively and
safely develop speed :
• Ballistic Training uses body
weight.
• Polymetrics Training uses
medicine ball and other
equipment can also be done to
improve power.

19. Flexibility

20. The most common test for flexibility
is the Sit and Reach Test.

21. Agility
Enables one to move quickly and easily
which is very important in actual game
situation.

22. This football player is showing great
agility running around defenders.

23. Agility training consists of
two important factors:
• Body Awareness is
recognizing what the body feels
in certain situations during play.
• Muscle Memory is a product of
repetitive skill training

24. Balance

25. One Leg Dead Lift to improve balance
and strength

26. This gymnast on the balance beam is an
excellent example of balance, power,
strength, coordination, agility, and flexibility.

27. Three factors that affect balance:
• Eyes
• Ears
• Nervous System

28. Two classifications of balance:
• Static Balance – this type is
needed when a person is not
moving.
• Dynamic Balance – this is
needed while a person is
moving.

29. Balance
• Training for balance means one must
develop her/his core strength.
• Core – composed of your abdominal
(front-side) areas, lower back,
buttocks, and groin.

30. Speed
•It is the rate in which player can complete
execute a loco motor movement like
running.

31. Running with a small parachute on
is a great way to increase one’s speed.

32. Ways on how to effectively and
safely develop speed :
• Uphill Running trains the athlete’s hip
flexion and extension which are
important in improving leg stride.
• Downhill Running trains the leg muscles’
coordination and the raye in which the
leg strides (leg stride frequency).

33. Coordination
It makes movements work
together smoothly. This usually
consists of upper and lower body
movements being performed at
the same time

34. A baseball pitcher throwing a pitch
is a great example of coordination, power,
balance, and speed.

35. Reaction Time
It is how
quickly an
individual
responds to
stimuli.

36. The Components of
Physical Fitness
• Body Composition
• Organic Vigor
• Endurance
• Strength
• Power
• Flexibility
• Agility
• Balance
• Speed
• Coordination
• Reaction Time

37. “Push through the pain
