Components Of Fitness Flashcards
(27 cards)
What is dynamic strength ?
The ability of a muscle or muscle group to generate force repeatedly over a period of time through a range of motion
What isometric strength ?
The ability to exert force without changing the muscle length or joint angle
What is reactive strength ?
The ability to absorb force quickly and then produce powerful movement in response( eccentric to concentric movement)
What is isokentic strength ?
The ablity to generate force at a constant speed throughout an entire range of movement
What is muscular endurance ?
The ability to sustain repeated contractions or maintain a static contraction over a time at high force out put, whilst withstanding fatigue
What is flexibility?
The maximum elasticity of muscles and the range of motion around a joint
What are the two types of flexibility ?
Static And Dynamic
What is power ?
The ability to exert maximum force in the shortest possible time(in an explosive movement
What is cardiovascular fitness
The ability of the cardiovascular and respiratory system to deliver oxygen to the working muscles during sustained physical activity
What is muscular strength ?
The maximum force a muscle can generate against a given resistance, during a single maximal contraction
What is the definition of health ?
The state of complete physical,mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.
What is the definition of fitness ?
The ability to meet the demand of your enviroment
Name all the components of fitness ?

Body composition
What is body composition ?
The proportion of fat, muscle, bone and other tissue that make up and individuals body.
What is agility ?
The ability to change direction quickly and efficiently, while maintaining speed,balance and power/control
What is balance ?
The ability to maintain the centre of mass over the base of support, whether stationary or moving.
What is co-ordination ?
The ability to move two or more body parts at the same time (simultaneously),smoothly and efficiently.
What is reaction time ?
The time taken from detection of a stimulus to initiation of a response/movement
What is speed ?
The ability to move the body or body parts as quickly as possible from A to B/over a set distance
How many types of balance are there ?
Two- static and dynamic
What is lab based testing ?
The assessment of an individual’s physical fitness, performance or physiological parameters in a controlled, indoor environment, typically equipped with specialised equipment
What is field based testing ?
The assessment of an individual’s physical fitness, performance, or skill in a real world or outdoors setting which is similar to a specific sport or activity
What is vo2 max ?
The maximum volume of oxygen that can be taken up and used by the muscles per minute
What is peak anaerobic power?
The highest power generated during any 3-6 seconds interval of the test
