Describe the components of health-related fitness.
The components of health-related fitness are cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen during sustained activity. Muscular strength is the greatest force a muscle can produce, while muscular endurance is its ability to keep working over time. Flexibility is the range of motion around a joint. Body composition is the proportion of fat, muscle, bone, and other tissues in the body.
A mother sprints across the yard to grab her small child before he enters the street. The mother is using her __________.
Describe the components of health-related fitness.
Cardiorespiratory fitness is the fitness level of the heart and lungs. Body composition is the ratio in the body of muscle to fat. Muscular strength is the force muscles can produce in a single maximum effort. Muscular endurance is the ability of muscles to remain contracted or to contract repeatedly over a period of time. Flexibility is the range of motion a body has.
