exercise of a working muscle specially the heart, blood vessels and
respiratory system (lungs). Also, the ability to deliver and utilize

oxygen is an indicator of a healthy heart


EXAMPLE: 1 MILE RUN
2. MUSCULAR STRENGTH
It is the ability of the muscle to produce the greatest

force. 
Note: heaviest load is allowed or advisable to lift is a maximum of

level protects an individual from severe injuries when he/she slips
or falls. 
EXAMPLE: WEIGHT LIFTING

It is the ability of the muscle to extend over a period of time and
work repeatedly without undue fatigue. It is also refer to the muscle

on how to hold contraction in an extended time.

pain and over complete range of motion. It is affected by the
structure of the bones and muscles surrounding the joint. These
factors deteriorate over time and leads to chronic pain as an
individual becomes older. It is also important to have an
appropriate degree of flexibility to avoid injuries and to maintain
body mobility. It can be greatly improved by stretching.

EXAMPLE: SIT and REACH   and TRUNK FORWARD FLEXION

3. Body composition

tissues in related to fat in the human body. It refers to the concept of
