• The 5 health-related components of Physical Fitness:

  1. Body Composition
  2. Flexibility
  3. Muscular strength
  4. Muscular Endurance
  5. Aerobic/Cardiorespiratory Endurance
• Body Composition - The ratio of fat to lean body mass; is the body's relative amount of fat to fat-free mass
• Flexibility - This is the ability of the joint to move through a full range of motion.
• Muscular Strength - This is how much force your muscles can exert or how much heavy weights they can lift.
• Muscular endurance - the ability of a muscle or muscle group to exert a submaximal force repeatedly over period of time; ability to use muscles without tiring, fatigue, resistance.
• Cardiorespiratory Endurance - may also refer to the ability of the heart muscles to do repeated work without fatigue.
• Physical fitness involves the performance of the heart, lungs, and the muscles of the body. It is also our ability to carry out daily tasks and our routinely physical activities without undue fatigue.
• The formula for computing the Body Mass Index (BMI) is $BMI=$$w/h^2$where w is weight in kilograms and h is height in meters.
• Skill-related components of Physical Fitness:

  1. Agility
  2. Balance
  3. Coordination
  4. Reaction Time
  5. Power
  6. Speed
• Agility or dexterity is the ability to move and alter the body's direction and location quickly and efficiently.
• Balance is the ability to stay upright or under bodily control during the regular change of posture and movement.
• Coordination is the ability to move at least two or more body parts under control, quickly and efficiently
• Power refers to the maximum strength that a muscle (or group of muscles) can have in the shortest possible time.
• Reaction time is the ability to respond rapidly to changing external stimuli.
• Speed is the ability of the body to finish tasks or move from one place to another in a short period of time
• 2. Rectus abdominis - Located along the front of the abdomen, this is the most well-known abdominal. Often referred to as the "six pack".

  
• 1. External abdominal oblique: Located on the side and front of the abdomen.

  
• 3. Transverse abdominis - Located under the obliques, it is the deepest of the abdominal muscles and wraps around your spine for protection and stability.

  
• 4. Internal abdominal oblique - Located under the external obliques, running in the opposite direction.

  
• The 3 planes of the body:

  1. Sagittal Plane
  2. Frontal Plane
  3. Transverse Plane
• Sagittal Plane - cuts the body into left and right. It is more on forward and backward movements.
• Frontal Plane - Divides the body into the front and back or the anterior (front) and the posterior(back) side.
• Transverse Plane - cuts the body into superior (top) and inferior (bottom) halves.
• Movement competency screen - clinical assessment of one's mobility and agility. Made up of five movements or five tasks designed to assess global competency movements.
• Movement preparation - series of active and dynamic stretching. Also referred to as warm-up involving movements that imitate those inherent to the activities for which you are preparing; prepares the body for movement and enhances the way you move for short term and long term benefits and reduces risk of injury.
• Resistance Training - increases muscle strength by making your muscle work against force and weight.
• Types of Physical activities:

  1. Everyday Physical Activity
  2. Recreational Physical Activity
  3. Sport and Exercise
