Pe Studies Notes: Health Components
Health Components
1. Cardio Respiratory Endurance
Is the capacity of the body to do continuous physical activity for an extended period of time.
This is how well the heart; lungs and blood vessels supply oxygen and nutrients to your muscles.
Cardio Respiratory endurance is also reffered to as stamina or aerobic fitness.
2. Muscular Strength
Muscular strength is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to exert a force against a resistance in a single contraction.
Strength is fundamental for all sports
3. Muscular Endurance
Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle to exert a force repeatedly over an extended period of time.
4. Flexibility
Flexibility is the capacity of a joint or joints to move through a full range of motions, or the ability to bend or stretch without hurting yourself.
5. Body Composition
Body Composition is the three basic structural componets that make up the body: Far, Muscle and bone.
Body composition indicates the percentage of fat, muscle, and bone that make up your total body weight.
Performance Components
Power: Power is the ability to release maximum force very quickly. It is a combination of strength and speed to produce an explosive action.
Speed: Speed is the ability to perform a movement or cover a distance in a short period of time.
Agility: Agility is how well your body can quickly and effectively change directions while retaining balance. Agility requires rapid acceleration, turning, dodging and weaving.
Reaction Time: Reaction time refers to the time between receiving a signal to move and the start of the actual physical response.
Coordination: Coordination is the ability of the body’s sense, nervous system and muscles to perform specific movements smoothly and accurately.
Balance: Balance is the bodies ability to maintain equilibrium while stationary or in motion.
