The body’s ability to respond or adapt to the demands and stress of physical effort.

health related fitness

Physical capabilities that contribute to health, including cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.

cardio respiratory endurance

The ability of the body to perform prolonged, large-muscle, dynamic exercise at moderate to high levels of intensity.

cardio respiratory endurance training

Exercise intended to improve cardiorespiratory endurance.

The amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximum effort

The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to remain contracted or to contract repeatedly for a long period of time.

The joints’ ability to move through their full range of motion.

The proportion of fat and fat-free mass (muscle, bone, and water) in the body.

The nonfat component of the human body, consisting of skeletal muscle, bone, and water.

skill related fitness

Physical abilities that contribute to performance in a sport or activity, including speed, power, agility, balance, coordination, and reaction time.

Any body movement carried out by the skeletal muscles that requires energy.

electrocardiogram EKG

A recording of the changes in electrical activity of the heart

The training principle that the body adapts to the particular type and amount of stress placed on it.

The training principle that placing increasing amounts of stress (in the form of exercise) on the body causes adaptations that improve fitness.

The training principle that fitness improvements are lost when demands on the body are lowered.

maximal oxygen consumption

The body’s maximum ability to transport and use oxygen.

The range of heart rates that should be reached and maintained during cardiorespiratory endurance exercise to obtain benefits

Exercise that forces muscles to contract against increased resistance; also called strength training.

The application of force without movement.

The application of force with movement.

Synthetic male hormones used to increase muscle size and strength

Participating in two or more activities to develop a particular component of fitness.
