Body composition The body’s relative amount of fat to fat-free mass. Attaining and maintaining a healthy body
composition is a goal of just about all regular exercise routines.
Cardiovascular endurance Also known as cardio respiratory endurance or aerobic fitness. Refers to your body's
ability to efficiently and effectively intake oxygen and deliver it to your body's tissues by way of the heart, lungs,
arteries, vessels, and veins.
Flexibility The ability of the joints and muscles to move though a full range of motion. Maintaining a full range of
motion through your major joints can reduce the likelihood of injury and enhance athletic performance.
Muscular endurance It is one of two factors that contribute to overall muscular health. Think of muscular
endurance as a particular muscle group's ability to continuously contract against a given resistance. Long-distance
cyclists offer a clear example. To continuously pedal a bike over a long distance, often up steep inclines, cyclists have
to develop fatigue-resistant muscles in their legs and glutes.
Muscular strength The ability of the muscle to generate force against physical object/ resistance. Refers to the
amount of force a particular muscle group can produce in one, all-out effort. Holding a plank to develop core
strength is another example of muscular endurance. The longer you're able to contract your abdominals and hold
your body in a steady position, the greater endurance you have through your hips, abdominals, and shoulder
Speed This is the ability to perform a movement in one direction in the shortest possible time.
Power This is the ability of the muscle to transfer energy and release maximum force at a fast rate. This
essentially combines speed and strength together. Athletes exerts brute strength in a short, all-out effort.
Weightlifters, gymnasts, and football players must exhibit this component.
Agility This is the ability to move into different directions swiftly. This component combines balance,
coordination, speed, strength, and endurance at the same time.
Reaction Time This is the amount of time it takes to respond to a stimulus/action. Reaction time heavily depends
on the connection of the mind and body. The eyes see the stimulus, the mind interprets it, and the body moves in
accordance with the given interpretation.
Coordination This is the ability to use the senses with the body parts to perform motor tasks accurately and
smoothly. Coordination also relies on the connection of the mind and body
Balance This is the ability to maintain equilibrium while stationary or moving. Balance also deals on how the body
make adjustments to the body’s position as the center of gravity changes during movement.
