5 Fitness Indicators:

1. Cardiovascular (CR) endurance – the efficiency with which the body delivers oxygen and nutrients needed for muscular activity. The wellness of your heart and lungs.

2. Muscular strength – the greatest amount of force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a single effort.

3. Muscular endurance – the ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated movements with a sub-maximal force for extended periods of time.

4. Flexibility – the ability to move the joints through an entire, normal range of motion.

5. Body composition – the amount of body fat a person has in comparison to his total body mass (muscle and bone).

Determines levels of fitness and can be measured and improved upon.

INTENSITY:

It represents the degree of effort that an individual would train.• How much weight is lifted or how fast an individual should run

are examples.

• Significant changes of cardiorespiratory (CR) fitness are brought about by sustaining a 60-80% training heart rate during exercise.

• Age makes a difference for training heart rate (THR). The older an individual is the lower the THR and the younger the individual the higher the THR. Ages 12-14 train as high as 85%.

TRAINING HEART RATE:Formula: 220 (maximum heart rate) – age x 85% (high) = THR
