Physical Fitness Assessment

Physical activity is a movement of the body that requires energy

expenditure.

Exercise is a type of physical activity that is a planned, structured, and

repetitive activity for the purpose of improving or maintains physical fitness.
There are many benefits of being physically active. It produces long term
health benefits, it burns body calories, and maintain energy balance.

On the other hand, physical fitness is the state of health and well-being
and connected to physical activity since fitness assessment involve
movement. Physical fitness assessment serves as baseline and identifies the
current fitness level of the body. The results of fitness assessment help to
set goals for staying active and improving fitness outcomes. It is a must to
keep track of the progress on the improvement result of your fitness.

The two major components of physical fitness are skill related fitness
and health related fitness. Skill-related fitness is the ability to do well in
everyday life activities and sports. One of the examples of skill-related fitness
is agility. At the same time, health-related fitness is the ability to become and
stay physically healthy. Cardiovascular endurance is one of the examples of
health related fitness. Both fitness components are equally important because
it usually work together through various fitness activities.

Let Us Reflect
Well done! You have accomplished the module and you did a great
job. Now, let us ponder this!

A physically active body makes all body organs function properly and
lessens the risk of developing illness. This means that individual who
engages in physical activities will likely perform daily task efficiently and
effectively. When we engage physical fitness assessment, we perform physical
activity too. As we grow older, setting a goal on how to improve fitness is very
important. Adolescence should engage in moderate to vigorous activity to
make the body healthy. The two components of fitness which is the health-
related component and a skill-related component are equally important
because they are related in maintaining a healthy body. They may be different
from each other but the two components work together to promote and
maintain a healthy life.
