Health-related components= focus on the general health and proper functioning of the whole body.

This includes the following:


Cardiorespiratory endurance= the ability of the heart, blood vessels and respiratory system

to deliver oxygen to active muscles efficiently for an extended time.


Muscular strength = the ability of muscles to exert force against 

resistance. 

Muscular endurance - the ability of muscles to exert  force over an
extended period. The ability of the muscles to perform certain
repetitive action continuously for a long period of time.

    Flexibility = the ability of the joints to perform through a wide range of movements
    Body composition = the proportion of body fat to lean body mass  .

    stationary position or while moving. The ability of the body to stay in equilibrium.

    Coordination = the ability to use different body parts in performing
    more than

    one motor movement at a time.

    Power = the ability to exert the maximum amount of force in the shortest

    possible time. Power can be achieve by combining speed and strength.
    Reaction time = the amount of time it takes for the body to respond

    Speed = the ability to perform an action as quickly as possible.

    BMI means Body Mass Index . It measures the thinness and fatness of the body. This is an indicator whether we are underweight, normal, overweight , or obese.  Too much fat in our body could lead to high risk of having diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stress , cancer and arthritis. It is important to know our BMI so that we will know whether we are at risk or needs to improve to achieve fitness.  Here is how to compute the BMI. BMI = Body Mass Index  Formula:  BMI =       Wkg              ------------                   Hm2 For example:        =        50/ 1.50m2        =      50/ 2.25 BMI   =         22.22        Classification = Normal Compute the BMI  Weight is  55 kgs while the height is 1. 44m.   BMI = 26.52 Classification  = Overweight If the weight is 67 kgs while the height is 1.72m. What is the BMI? BMI = 22.65 Classification = Normal So now, compute your BMI. Thank you for reading and commenting.....
