CLASS 6 GETS MEDIUM What we will be learning

AT THE GYM
FITNESS COMPONENTS
Fitness components are those
aspects of fitness that are important
to a particular sport. They should be
performed to a reasonable level if an
athlete is to be successful.
They are most important at the elite
level.
At a social level the fitness
components are important to keep
the athlete fit, healthy and satisfied
(happy) with their performance.
 FITNESS COMPONENTS
They are:
Health related Skill related

- Body composition - Agility

- CV fitness - Coordination

- Flexibility - Power

- Muscular Endurance - Reaction time

- Strength - Speed
- Balance
BODY COMPOSITION
The % amount of muscle, fat, bone and other tissues that make up the
body.
Greater fitness equals less % body fat.
CARDIOVASCULAR
FITNESS
Relates to how well the heart, blood vessels, blood and respiratory
system can supply oxygen and fuels to the working muscles during
exercise.
FLEXIBILITY
Flexibility is the ability to gain the range of movement
required for an activity. The body’s skeletal and muscular
systems must interact to allow full movement around the
joint.

Flexibility can be
dynamic (moving) or static (still).
MUSCULAR ENDURANCE
Muscular endurance is the ability of a particular
muscle group to work continuously at a high level.
Lactic acid often limits muscular endurance. An
athlete’s training and tolerance of lactic acid will
determine their ability to continuously work at a high
level.
STRENGTH
Muscular strength is the amount of
force produced by a muscle group or
group of muscles.
AGILITY
Agility combines speed with flexibility and dynamic (moving)
balance. Changing direction with speed and control.
COORDINATION
Co-ordination is the linking of a series of muscular movements so
they appear controlled and efficient.
 BALANCE
Balance is the ability to remain in a
state of equilibrium.
Dynamic balance – while moving
Static balance – not moving
POWER
Power is the combination of strength and speed. An explosive,
powerful movement is achieved quickly with as much strength as
possible.
REACTION TIME
Reaction time is the speed with which you react to an outside
stimulus.
SPEED
Speed can be defined as whole body speed from point A to point B,
or body part speed (how fast you can move your legs).

AT THE GYM?
Is there any exercises/things you want to do at the gym?

Yes
No
Yes but in italics and I don’t want to say it in front of everyone

Do we want to youtube some movements now so we can learn before

we go into the gym? Or do we want to open Miss ashs Instagram and
laugh at her training?
THIS IS WHAT OUR
TRAINING PROGRAM
WILL LOOK LIKE:
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
1. On Wednesday please wear/bring appropriate gym clothes. (not

videoing of each other of other gym users.
4. Safety is vital, Ray has taken the time to organise this so we must
respect the space and the people in the gym
5. Have fun, ask questions and enjoy learning skills for life with
dedicated teachers who enjoy training in their spare time
