Ch. 6: Exercise for Health and Fitness

What does cardiorespiratory endurance depend on

Heart, lungs, and circulatory system

What does a healthy body composition involve

Increases proportion of fat-free mass and acceptable decrease level of body fat

Body composition

Proportion of far to fat-free mass in the body

Flexibility

ability to move joints through a full range of motion

Physical activity

any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure

Physical activity

any body movement carried out by the skeletal muscles and requiring energy

5 components of physical fitness

1. cardiorespiratory endurance 2. muscular strength 3. muscular endurance 4. flexibility 5. body composition

Endurance training

Exercise intended specifically to improve cardiorespiratory endurance; usually involves prolonged, large-muscle, dynamic exercises.

health-related fitness

physical capacities that contribute to health

Cardiorespiratory endurance

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

Muscular strength

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

Physical fitness

the body's ability to respond or adapt to the demands and stress of physical effort

health-relates fitness components

Cardio respiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, body composition

Muscular endurance

Ability of a muscle group to remain contracted and resist fatigue

Cardiorespiratory endurance

Ability to perform prolonged, large-muscle, dynamic exercises
