What is Physical Fitness? Physical Fitness is a state of good health and well-being of an individual (K to 12 Grades 1 to 10 Curriculum, Glossary of Terms) b) Physical Fitness is “a set of abilities that one possesses in order to perform physical activities.” (Centers for Disease and Prevention, 1985; Grade 7 Teacher’s Guide – Session1, Module 1)
What is Physical Fitness? Physical fitness is the capacity of the body to do activities without undue exhaustion. Physical fitness can be divided into two distinct categories: components of health-related fitness and components of skill-related fitness.
Health-Related Fitness Skill-Related Fitness Exercises that are done with the intention of improving one's physical health and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are included in the concept of health-related fitness. The five components of health-related fitness include: cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Skill-related fitness is the capacity to perform during games and sports. This level of physical fitness is needed to be able to perform the more technical parts of a wide range of sports. The five components of skill-related fitness include: agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time, and speed.
Health-Related Fitness
Cardiovascular Endurance Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the lungs, heart, and blood vessels to deliver enough oxygen to the cells to meet the needs of long-term physical activity. Getting stronger in your heart and lungs can make it easier for you to carry out the tasks you need to do every day. Jogging, running, cycling, and swimming can enhance cardiovascular endurance.
Muscular Strength Muscular Endurance Muscular strength is the capacity of the muscle to produce force during a relatively short period of time. Push-ups, sit-ups, lifting, squats, and lunges promote muscular strength. Muscular endurance is the highest amount of force that a muscle group is able to pull or push in a single contraction. Circuit training, and bodyweight exercises are all good ways to build muscle endurance.
Flexibility Flexibility is the ability of a joint or group of joints to move through their full range of motion without pain or restriction. Even though flexibility varies a lot from person to person, everyone needs to stay within certain minimum ranges to keep their joints and bodies healthy. Squats, lunges, and stretching can enhance the body's flexibility.
Body Composition Body composition is how much of your body is made up of fat, bone, and muscle. Body composition is a way for health professionals to figure out if a person is at a healthy weight for their body. Nutrition and exercise are critical for improving body composition. Burpees, pushups, squat jumps, lunges, and planking can improve body composition.

BALANCE The ability to keep the body in a steady position while standing and moving. *Stork Balance Stand Test
COORDINATION The ability of the body parts to work together when you perform an activity. *Juggling

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND EXERCISE
Activities done by the skeletal muscles that utilize energy is called Physical Activity . Activities you are doing at home or in school are considered to be physical activity. It is classified into 4 domains: occupational, domestic, transportation, and leisure time .
OCCUPATIONAL These are the activities you do at your work place. Lifting computers and books, going your friend’s desk or preparing lunch at the pantry.

Aerobic activities , also called endurance activities , are physical activities in which people move their large muscles in a rhythmic manner for a sustained period. Ex. running, brisk walking, bicycling, playing basketball, dancing, and swimming Muscle-Strengthening Activity -This kind of activity, which includes resistance training and lifting weights, causes the body’s muscles to work or hold against an applied force or weight. Ex. pushups and situps , lifting weights, climbing stairs, and digging in the garden Bone-Strengthening Activity -This kind of activity (sometimes called weight-bearing or weight-loading activity) produces a force on the bones that promotes bone growth and strength. Ex. r unning, walking, jumping rope, and lifting weights
To care for one's body and keep it healthy is to love oneself.
