PHYSICAL FITNESS
PAT H F I T I
 DEFINITION

• Defined as state or condition of being physically sound and

healthy, especially as the result of exercises and proper
nutrition.
• A state of general well-being, market by physical health as
well as mental stability.
• It is about having cardiovascular and overall muscular
endurance, as well as strong immunity system, and most
importantly, a satisfied and happy state of mind.
• Is the ability of the individual to do his/her daily task without
undue fatigue, but with extra or reserved energy in care of
energy
COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS

1. Health-Related Fitness

A basis from which to measure our general well-being.

It is the aim of exercise to improve our capabilities in each of

these areas.

Different sports will be more demanding in some, and less

demanding in others, but athletes usually strive to achieve a
reasonable level of health fitness in each area.
FIVE (5) HEALTH RELATED COMPONENTS
OF FITNESS

1. Cardiovascular Endurance

Referred to as aerobic fitness, and is a measure of the athlete’s

ability to continue with exercise which places demands on the
circulatory and respiratory system over a prolonged period of
time.

This occurs in activities such as running, walking, cycling and

swimming.
2. Muscular Strength

Muscular strength is the maximal force that can be applied

against a resistance.

It could be measured by the largest weight a person could lift

or the largest body they could push or pull.
3. Muscular Endurance

 Muscular endurance differs from muscular strength in that it

is a measure of person’s ability to repeatedly apply maximal
force.

For example in a series of press ups, over a period of time.

4. Flexibility

It is the measure of free movement in a person’s joints.

This is especially important to gymnastics.

5. Body Composition

Body composition is usually measured by the percentage body

fat a person carries.
 PERFORMANCE / SKILL RELATED
COMPONENTS OF FITNESS

1. Agility

It is the ability to change and control the direction and position
of the body while maintaining a constant, rapid motion.

For example, changing direction to hit a tennis ball.

2. Balance

 It is the ability to control or stabilize the body when a person

is standing still or moving.

For example, in-line skating.

3. Coordination

It is the ability to use the senses together with body parts
during movement.

For example, dibbling a basketball. Using hands and eyes

together is called hand-eye coordination.
4. Speed

It is the ability to move your body or parts if your body

swiftly. Many sports rely on speed to gain advantage over your
opponents.

For example, a basketball player making a fast break to

perform a lay-up, a tennis player moving forward to get to a
drop shot, a football player out running the defense to receive
a pass.
5. Power

It is the ability to move the body parts swiftly while applying
the maximum force of the muscles.  Power is the
combination of both speed and muscular strength.

For example, fullbacks in football muscling their way through

other players and speeding in advance the ball and volleyball
players getting up to the net and lifting their bodies high into
the air.
 TYPES OF BODY

1. Ectomorph

A typical skinny guy

Ecto’s have a light build with small joints and lean muscle.

Usually ectomorph’s have long thin limbs with stringy

muscle.

Shoulders tend to be thin with little width.

TYPICAL TRAITS OF AN ECTOMORPH:

• Small “delicate” frame and bone

• Classic “hard gainer”
• Flat chest
• Small shoulders
• Thin
• Lean muscle mass
• Finds it hard to gain weight
• Fast metabolism
2. Mesomorph

 Muscular body- build characterized by predominance of

structures (bone and muscle and connective tissue)
TYPICAL TRAITS OF A MESOMORPH:

• Athletic
• Hard body with well-defined muscles
• Rectangular shaped body
• Strong
• Gains muscle easily
• Gains fat more easily than ectomorphs
3. Endomorph

Is solid and generally soft

Endomorphs gain fat very easily
Endo’s are usually of a shorter build with thick arms and legs.
Muscles are strong, especially the upper legs. Endomorphs
find they are naturally strong in leg exercises like the squat.
TYPICAL TRAITS OF AN ENDOMORPH:

• Soft and round body

• Gains muscle and fay very easily
• Is generally short and “stocky”
• Round physique
• Finds it hard to lose fat
• Slow metabolism
 WHAT IS POSTURE?

Correct Posture
- is the proper alignment of body segments in relation to
different body position.

Postural Deviation
- misalignment of body segments
POSTURE AND POSTURAL DEVIATION

6 Factors that influenced postural deviation

1.) Poor Nutrition

2.) Improper routinary posture
3.) Poor daily habits
4.) Occupational practices
5.) Congenital deformities
6.) Lack of physical Exercises
 ANOTOMICAL TERMS

Anatomical Position
- Description of any region or part of the body in a specific stance
- The body is upright, directly facing the observer, feet flat and directed
forward.
- The upper limbs are at the body’s sides with the palms facing forward.
- Thumb is away from the body.

 Supine Lying Position

- A horizontal position with the face and upper body facing up.

Prone Lying Position

- A horizontal position with the face and upper body facing down.
 BODY PLANES
ARE IMAGINARY SURFACES THAT RUN THROUGH THE BODY AND DIVIDE IT INTO
DIFFERENT SECTIONS.

• Sagittal
- Divide the body from left to right.

• Transverse
- Dividing the body into upper and lower part.

• Frontal
- Dividing body into front and back.
 DIRECTIONAL TERM

1. Medial – towards the center

2. Lateral – away from the body
3. Superior – higher or above body segment
4. Inferior- lower body segment
5. Anterior – front
6. Posterior – back
7. Flexion – shortening of body segment
8. Extension – extending body segment
