Agility
The ability to control the placement of the body’s center of gravity in relation to its support base
Balance

Practice
5 components of physical fitness
Cardiovascular endurance
Muscular endurance
Muscular strength
Flexibility
Body composition
can be defined by how well the body performs in each one of the components of physical fitness as a whole
Total fitness
ability of the heart and lungs to work together to provide the needed oxygen and fuel to the body during sustained workloads
Cardiovascular endurance
amount of force a muscle can produce
Muscular strength
ability of the muscles to perform continuous without fatiguing
Muscular endurance
the ability of each joint to move through the available range of motion for a specific joint
Flexibility
the amount of fat mass compared to lean muscle mass, bone and organs
Body composition
Six skill-related fitness components
Power
Agility
Balance
Coordination
Speed
Reaction time
defined as "a set of attributes that people have or achieve that relates to the ability to perform physical activity"
Physical fitness
The ability of the joints to move through their full range of motion
Flexibility
The ability of your heart, blood vessels, lungs, and blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients to all of your body's cells while you are being physically active
Cardiovascular endurance
the amount of force that a muscle can apply in a given contraction
Muscular strength
the ability of the muscles to keep working (contract) over a period of time
Muscular endurance
refers to the ratio of lean body tissue (muscle & bone) to body-fat tissue
Body composition
Is the ability to change the position of your body and to control the movement of your whole body
Agility
Is the ability to keep an upright posture while either standing still or moving
Balance
Is the ability to perform with strength at a rapid pace
Power
Is the amount of time it takes to start a movement once your senses signal the need to move
Reaction time
Is the integration of eye, hand, and foot movements
Coordination
Is the ability to cover a distance in a short amount of time
Speed
target your whole body, using lots of different muscles to strengthen, shape, and tone your body
Body conditioning exercises
a planned program designed to develop or maintain specific components of fitness
Exercise
is a single execution of an exercise
Repetition
a collection of reps
