Health Related Fitness
• Body composition- a ratio of body fat relative to
other body tissues
• Cardiovascular Endurance- a measure of the hearts
ability to efficiently deliver oxygen through the blood
to the other muscles in order to maintain vigorous
exercise
• Flexibility- the ability to use one’s joints fully in order
to prevent muscle injury
• Muscular Endurance- the ability of muscles to
exercise many times without getting tired
• Muscular Strength- the amount of force put forth by
a muscle or muscle group.
Examples of health related
components of fitness
• Cardiorespiratory endurance-jogging,
swimming, cycling, roller blading
• Flexibility-stretching
• Muscular strength- Max bench press, one
squat, 1leg press.
• Muscular endurance- the most amount of sit –
ups in one minute, performing lifting weights
for a period of time.
Body composition
• BMI, body fat skinfold test, Hydrostatic
Weighing
•
Skill Related Fitness
• Agility- the ability to change directions quickly
• Balance- the ability to remain upright while standing still
or moving
• Coordination- Coordination is the ability to use the
body parts and senses together to produce smooth
efficient movements.
• Power- the ability to do strength performances quickly
• Reaction time- the amount of time it takes to get

• Speed- the ability to perform a specific movement or
cover a distance in a short period of time.
Examples of skill related components
of fitness
• Speed- sprinting in races, when playing golf,
the speed of your arms and upper body in
creating the swing are vital in driving the ball
over a long distance.
Balance
• Gymnastics, ballet, and also contact sports
where having good balance may prevent you
being tackled to the floor!
• Agility- shuttle run, dodging tackles, moving in

Skill development
•
Learning cues- projects a clear description of a skill component into the students
mind.
– Enhance learner memory-(cookies)
– Compresses information
– Focus on one specific component of skill-follow through
– Motivates to develop and refine skills
Skill progression-starting with easier skills, and working up to harder skills
- learn fundamentals and practice, practice, practice!
Modified games/small groups
3 on 3, 4 on 4, 5 on 5 will allow for more touches on the ball-more practice,
limits down time and standing around.
