Transcript
Cardiovascular fitness is the ability of the heart, lungs and circulatory system to supply
oxygen and nutrients to working muscles efficiently, and allows activities that involve
large muscle groups (walking, running, swimming, biking, etc.) to be performed over
long periods of time. From a health standpoint, cardiovascular or aerobic fitness is
generally considered to be the most important of the fitness components.

Muscular strength is very important to your overall health and fitness. Adequate levels
of strength are necessary to perform your daily routines at home and work, without
excessive fatigue or stress. Higher levels of muscular fitness also reduce the incidence of
lower back pain and injury to the musculoskeletal system. Strong muscles also assist
your cardiovascular system in sustaining physical activity.

Flexibility is the ability to move a joint fluidly through its complete range of motion and
is important to general health and physical fitness. Flexibility is reduced when muscles
become short and tightened with disuse causing an increase in injury and strains.

Body Composition refers to the relative proportions of body weight in terms of lean body
mass and body fat. Lean body mass represents the weight of muscle, bone, internal
organs and connective tissue. Body fat represents the remaining fat tissue. Body fat
serves three important functions:
1) insulator to conserve heat
2) metabolic fuel for the production of energy
3) body fat serves as padding to cushion your internal organs
It's essential to maintain some body fat, but an excess level poses a serious health risk.
High levels of body fat are associated with high blood pressure, increased levels of blood
fats and cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain cancers. In contrast, very
low body fat can cause the development of such medical conditions as heart damage,
gastrointestinal problems, shrinkage of internal organs, immune system abnormalities,
disorders of the reproductive system, loss of muscle tissue, damage to the nervous
system, abnormal growth and even death. Body fat is expressed as a percentage of total
body weight.
