name some goals that train health related components of fitness climbing stairs (muscular endurance) - Gaining 5k in muscle (body composition) - Running/cycling 2K (CV Fitness) - Bench pressing 20K x 20 reps ( Muscular Strength)
climbing stairs (Muscular Endurance) would it be a "health or skill related component of fitness ? Health related component
Gaining 5k in muscle (body composition) would it be a "health or skill related component of fitness ? Health related component
Running/cycling 2K (CV Fitness) would it be a "health or skill related component of fitness ? Health related component

Muscular endurance - definition the ability of the muscles to work continuously under low-to-moderate resistance
name some Daily activities that require "muscular endurance" carrying shopping, climbing stairs, maintaining optimal posture, gardening
exercise sessions involving (high-repetition / low resistance) is known as muscular endurance
The definition of "muscular strength" is the ability of the muscles to exert maximal force against a high resistance
the ability of the muscles to exert maximal force against a high resistance is known as muscular strength
exercise sessions involving (low-repetition / hig resistance) is known as muscular strength
Examples of daily activities requiring "muscular strength" Moving heavy objects eg furniture
Examples of exercise activities requiring "muscular strength" Lifting heavy weights
Muscular strength is useful for two key reasons enabling people to produce a greater maximal force when required & minimising the amount of effort required to perform everyday sub-maximal tasks by enhancing an individual’s level of strength.
The definition of flexibility ? the range of movement at a joint or series of joints
the range of movement at a joint or series of joints is known as flexibility
what is determined by the shape of the bones and cartilage and by the length of the muscles and connective tissues (ligaments and tendons) that cross over the joint in question flexibility
in regard to Flexibility what system affects the amount of muscle tension & tone the nervous system
why is it important for individuals to develop and maintain appropriate levels of flexibility ensure an appropriate range of motion (ROM) and freedom of movement at all joints
Inactivity can lead to muscle shortening and a loss of ? flexibility
A significant lack of flexibility can dramatically affect a persons what posture
Certain sports may reduce flexibility, e.g. jogging, football, boxing and hockey, why ? all involve movements where muscles are not worked through their full range
what happens when muscles are not worked through their full range lead to muscle tightness and adaptive shortening
A high degree of flexibility or ‘hypermobility is know as double jointed
The definition of body composition is the proportion of "fat" and "fat-free mass".
the proportion of "fat" and "fat-free mass" on an individual is known as body compositions
Body composition is normally measured as a percentage of what body fat
