 PHYSICAL FITNESS and its
IMPORTANCE

Presentation Title 15
 WHAT IS PHYSICAL FITNESS?
• It is the capacity of an individual to accomplish his/her
regular daily activities without undue fatigue and still has
an ample amount of reserved energy to enjoy leisure and
meet emergencies.

Presentation Title 16
 WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE
PHYSICALLY “FIT”?
Physical fitness is more than being able to run a long distance or lift a
lot of weight at the gym. Being fit is not defined only by what kind of
activity you do, how long you do it, or at what level of intensity.

Physically fit person has the ability to last, to bear up, to withstand
stress, and to persevere under difficult circumstances where an unfit
person would give up. Physical fitness is the opposite of being fatigued
from ordinary efforts, to lacking the energy to enter zestfully into life’s
activities, and to becoming exhausted from unexpected, demanding
physical exertion."
