Concepts of Physical Fitness

1. Organic Vigor- soundness of the heart and lungs to resist

disease.
2. Endurance- long continued construction.
3. Strength- muscles to exert effort against resistance.
4. Power- release maximum force in a short period of time.
5. Flexibility- ability to do wide range of motion.
6. Agility- to change direction/ space.
7. Balance- state of equilibrium.
8. Speed- successive of movement of a short period of time.

Components of Physical Fitness

A. Health-Related Fitness

 Muscular strength – refers to the ability of the

muscle to exert maximum effort in brief
duration.
o Isotonic Contraction – are voluntary
contractions in which muscles shorten
and lengthen alternately. The muscle
