Body Composition refers to the ratio between body fat and lean mass that make up a person’s body. Cardiorespiratory, muscular strength, and muscular endurance exercises help achieve a healthy body composition. Although body composition can be determined in different ways, the only method recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for children and adolescents 5 – 19 years old is by finding the body mass index (BMI) using the standard formula.
Flexibility is the ability of the joints and related muscle to move at full range during physical activity. This can be achieved through regular exercises or activities that involve stretching, twisting and bending.
