Document Summary
Exercise conditioning programs can be divided: health-related physical fitness (i. e. walking, sport or skill-related physical fitness (i. e. practice or gym) *overall goal is to optimize the quality of life. Five major components of health-related physical fitness: cardiorespiratory endurance (heart and lungs, muscular strength. Overcome resistance 1 time: muscular endurance. Overcome resistance more than 1 time: flexibility, body composition. Relationship between muscle mass and fat composition: cardiorespiratory endurance. Considered the key component of health related physical fitness. Measure the heart"s ability to pump blood to the muscles during exercise, and the muscles ability to utilize oxygen in the blood. Ability to perform endurance exercises like running, cycling, and swimming: muscular strength. Measured by how much force a muscle (or muscle group) generates during a single maximal contraction. Tests: irm (1 repetition maximum), ymca bench press protocol, and hand grip dynamometer. Resistance training can improve muscle strength: muscular endurance. The ability of a muscle to generate a submaximal force repeatedly.
