  • Health a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease.
  • Wellness the constant and deliberate effort to stay healthy.
  • Fitness a condition in which an individual has enough energy to avoid fatigue and enjoy life.
  • Two component of physical fitness: Health and skill related fitness.
  • Health related fitness consist of Body composition, Cardiorespiratory endurance, Muscular strength, Muscular endurance, Flexibility.
  • Body composition is the proportion of fat and fat-free mass in the body.
  • Cardiorespiratory Endurance is the ability to perform a prolonged exercise at high intensity.
  • Muscular Strength is the amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximum effort.
  • Muscular endurance the ability to resist fatigue and sustain a given level of muscle tension.
  • Flexibility the ability to move joints through their full range of motion.
  • Skill-related fitness consist of Agility, Speed, Reaction time, Balance, Power, Coordination.
  • Agility the ability to move in different direction effectively and efficiently.
  • Speed ability to move quickly.
  • Reaction time the ability to respond to a particular stimulus in the quickest possible time.
  • Balance ability to maintain equilibrium in a static or dynamic condition.
  • Power ability to exert maximum force in a shortest possible time.
  • Coordination ability to use one or more components of physical fitness.
  • Isometric the pushing and pulling against immovable object.
  • Dynamic requires movement with the muscle contraction.
  • Strength training goal is to improve overall fitness (Muscular fitness).
  • Benefits of strength training: Increased muscular fitness, Strengthened bones, Boost metabolism, Better Weight Improvement etc.
  • F.I.T.T Principle a method of putting together an efficient workout plan.
  • F.I.T.T stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type.
  • Frequency is how often you will exercise.
  • Intensity is how hard you work during exercise.
  • Time how long you exercise during each session.
  • Type is what kind of exercise you do.
  • Aerobic improve cardiovascular system.
  • Strength improve muscle strength,
  • Training principle: Progressive overload, Specificity, Reversibility, Adaptation, Individuality, Variation, Rest and Recovery.
  • Progressive a states that only way to improve fitness is to increase over time.
  • Specificity is a specific kind of exercise must be done to develop specific aspects of the body.
  • Reversibility is when you don't maintain a regular exercise program, your state of physical fitness will regress.
  • Adaptation process of body getting accustomed to a particular exercise or training.
  • Individuality no two individuals will benefit from exercise exactly the same way physically or psychologically.
  • Variation process of changing one or more variables in the training program.
  • Two types of physical activity barriers: Personal and Environmental.
  • Personal Barriers: Insufficient time to exercise, boredom, fear of injuries, lack of confidence, encouragement and self-management skill.
  • Environmental Barriers: Time, Place, Space, Climate, Transportation.
  • TTM or Transtheoretical Model.
