The five components of health-related fitness are:
- Cardiovascular endurance: the ability of the heart, blood vessels, and lungs to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the working muscles during prolonged exercise.
- Muscular strength: the maximum amount of force a muscle or group of muscles can generate during a single contraction.
- Muscular endurance: the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to repeatedly exert force over an extended period of time.
- Flexibility: the range of motion available at a joint or group of joints.
- Body composition: the proportion of fat, muscle, and other tissues in the body.
These components are essential for maintaining good health and overall physical fitness. Incorporating a combination of physical activity, nutrition, and lifestyle habits into your daily routine can help you improve and maintain your health-related fitness.
