The definition of health-related fitness involves
exercise activities that you do in order to try to
Muscular endurance:
improve your physical health and stay healthy,
particularly in the categories of cardiovascular
endurance, muscular strength, flexibility,
muscular endurance and body composition.
Cardiovascular endurance:
 The ability to perform exercises at
moderate-to-vigorous intensities for a
prolonged period of time.
Flexibility:
 Cardiovascular, or cardio, fitness refers
to your body’s ability to sustain exercise
for longer. It’s also known as
cardiorespiratory endurance or aerobic
fitness.
 Good cardio fitness allows you to
perform different activities for longer
Body composition:
because your heart and lungs are able
to deliver oxygen and nutrients to your
working muscles.
 Examples of activities that benefit from
good cardio endurance include walking,
jogging, swimming, cycling, and other
sports that require continuous
movement.
Muscular strength:
 How much force your muscles can exert
or how heavy weights they can lift.
 Muscular strength is the ability of a
muscle group to exert force or lift and
carry weight. The stronger your
muscles, the heavier weight you can lift
and move (10Trusted Source).
different muscle groups. For example,
you may have strong glutes and quads
but weaker biceps.
 To ensure well-rounded muscular
strength, it’s important to prioritize
muscular strength training of all major
muscle groups like legs, arms, core,
shoulders, back, and hips.
 The ability of your muscles to sustain
exercise for a period of time.
 Unlike muscular strength, which
measures how much weight you can lift
or move, muscular endurance tests how
long your muscles can withstand an
exercise
 The ability to move muscles and joints
through a full range of motion.
 Flexibility is defined as the range of
motion of a joint or group of joints
without pain or difficulty.
 Your body’s ratio of fat mass to fat-free
mass like muscle and bone.
 Body composition is the last health-
related component of fitness. It
describes the ratio of fat mass to fat-
free mass
 Body composition is an important
component of fitness, it’s not the only
one. Focusing on the other four areas of
fitness — cardiovascular endurance,
flexibility, and muscular strength and
endurance — may help you achieve a
healthy body composition
