5 COMPONENTS OF HEALTH-

RELATED FITNESS

By : Mohamed Bakoush .
Agenda
1. Muscle strength
2. Muscle endurance
3. Cardiovascular endurance
4. Flexibility
MUSCLE STRENGTH
 The ability of a muscle or muscle group to exert
a maximum force against a resistance ONE
TIME through the full range of motion. Range
of motion (ROM) is the degrees through which
a joint can move.
MUSCLE ENDURANCE
 The ability of a muscle or muscle group to exert
a sub-maximal force REPEATEDLY over a
period of time.
CARDIOVASCULAR
ENDURANCE
 The ability to perform large muscle moderate to
high intensity exercise for PROLONGED
PERIODS keeping your heart rate in the
heart rate target zone:
220
- age
x 70% to 85%
The target heart rate zone for a 17 year old is
142-173 beats per minute.
FLEXIBILITY
 Is the ability to move a joint through its
complete range of motion (ROM).
BENEFITS OF EXERCISE:
STRENGTHENS HEART AND LUNGS

ENHANCES FEELING OF WELL-BEING


STRENGTHENS MUSCLES
IMPROVES AND BONES
APPEARANCE
PREVENTS
INJURY

REDUCES STRESS AND TENSION


FITT Principle
“To gain health benefits in all 5
components of fitness…..
F = Frequency ….how often should I work out?”

I = Intensity ….how much effort should I put in?”

T = Time ….how long should my workout be?”

T = Type
…what type of exercises should I do?”
How does the FITT principle apply to body
composition?
Body composition results largely from physical activity levels in the
other components:
 Cardiovascular exercise expends calories.
 Muscle strength and endurance activities expend calories and
build muscle (MUSCLE BURNS CALORIES FASTER THAN FAT!)
 Flexibility exercises allow the body to better tolerate the other
exercises.

DON’T FORGET ABOUT PROPER


NUTRITION!!!!
TRAINING PRINCIPLES:
OVERLOAD – you must apply stress
beyond what your body is accustomed
to
PROGRESSION – the overload must
continue after the body adapts to the
previous stress
SPECIFICITY - to obtain a particular
goal you must train those muscles with
a specific method
Conclusion……….
Health related fitness is a lifetime pursuit.
It is impossible to store fitness once it is
developed. To develop fitness you should
work on ALL 5 COMPONENTS:
muscle strength
muscle endurance
cardiovascular endurance
flexibility
body composition
