...having muscular strength is the fact that it will allow you to conduct every day activities with ease. This includes, walking up and down the stairs, carrying equipment and doing everyday sports. With higher muscle mass and optimal muscular strength, you tend to function for longer periods of time without getting tired. The feeling of fatigue is delayed after any mental or physical exercise. Besides the development of larger group of muscles (biceps, triceps and hamstring muscles), the smaller group of muscles and connective tissue also get stronger and more capable of handling the stress and strain caused by environment and surrounding. With higher muscular strength, you can enhance your posture and alignment of connective tissue....

...physical. Although each area is important to your total health and well being, in this text we will only emphasize the physical characteristics of total health. However, since no single area can stand fully separated from the rest, we will discover how small parts of each area are inevitably intertwined with each other. When defining physical fitness, two terms are commonly used: health related fitness, and athletic performance related fitness (also referred to as motor, or skill fitness). The components of these two types are as follows: Health related fitness • Cardiovascular endurance • Muscular strength • Muscular endurance • Muscle and joint flexibility • Body composition (lean mass vs. fat mass) Athletic Performance Related Fitness (motor or skill fitness) • Cardiovascular endurance • Muscular strength • Muscular endurance • Muscle and joint flexibility • Body composition • Coordination • Speed • Agility • Power • Balance • Reaction time • Neurological efficiency Although the five components of health fitness are included in athletic fitness, the additional athletic components are not necessary for total health fitness. However, those who desire to compete athletically will find it essential to go beyond health fitness. Developing the additional athletic fitness components of power, speed, agility, coordination, balance and neurological efficiency...

...running, there are also many other factors. These three factors that contribute to an efficient running are; cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular endurance, and sprint or explosive power. Cardiorespiratory endurance can be defined as the ability of the heart and lungs to absorb, transport, and use oxygen in the body during strenuous or intense exercise. Muscle endurance, on the other hand, is the strength of the human body to continuously use muscular strength while enduring repeated contractions for a long period of time. Explosive power is the capability of the body muscle to contract and develop over a short period of time to release energy. Cardiorespiratory endurance, the ability to absorb, transport and utilize oxygen in the body is the final factor that can increase the performance of the more run. Cardiorespiratory endurance exercise such as aerobics should be initiated for every more run if he or she is to be successful. These exercises increase endurance by increasing the lungs volume and strengthening the heart muscles. Cardiorespiratory endurance training enhances the capability and efficiency of the body to absorb and transport oxygen to the body muscles. This allows the muscle to work for long duration without fatigue thereby improving the performance of the more run. Cardiorespiratory endurance, when enforced with physical exercise, is attributed to increase the dense capillarity network in the lungs and other body muscles which increases oxygen...

...that good cardio endurance is the key to passing and scoring well on all APFT events. If you can control your breathing, then your muscles will be able to process oxygen better. Next, I work on muscular strength and endurance, then I would focus on flexibility. For cardio, we would run 5-8 miles at a moderate (8 mile/min) pace. On Fridays I would do release runs to increase unit morale. Also, sprints/running combined events do help with cardio endurance. Honestly ability group runs would be the best exercise to help improve the 2 mile run. I would conduct circuit training with a variety of upper and lower body exercises to increase muscular strength and endurance. Before and after each exercise, I would implement intense stretching so that their muscles are fully stretched to increase their flexibility for better run results and to become stronger as a team. **The two best components or physical fitness for my unit to work on would be cardio respiratory endurance and muscular endurance. We are a light reconnaissance unit. The result of this is that we have many first time deployers going to conduct dismounted operations in the mountains. I would put the major emphasis on cardio respiratory endurance with lesser emphasis on muscular endurance. I would conduct cardio respiratory endurance at a minimum of three times a week with activities such as running, swimming, road marching, and hiking up some of our local mountains. I would then conduct muscular endurance activities twice...

...Physical fitness and wellness is far more reasonable than generally perceived. It helps individuals to look, feel and do their best. Obtaining and sustaining physical fitness is a result of many things but a few are physical activity, proper diet, along with proper rest for physical recovery. If you really want to measure the overall fitness of a person you have to take into consideration the five components of physical fitness. For an average person, workout should be based on the five major health related fitness factors: Cardiovascular Fitness, Body Composition, Flexibility, and Muscular strength and endurance. Cardiovascular Fitness is the ability of the circulatory system or the heart and blood vessels to supply oxygen to working muscles during exercise. Cardiovascular fitness, also known as cardiorespiratory endurance, is an expression that is used to describe a unique form of muscular endurance. In other words, it describes the importance in which the lungs, heart, and vascular system work in order to provide oxygen to the working muscles of the body, so that the effort of the muscle can be maintained. Obviously, there are many factors that can affect cardiovascular fitness including heart rate, stroke volume, and the capability of the muscle cells to take up oxygen out of the blood. There are many benefits of cardiovascular fitness the first being that it strengthens both the heart muscle and the muscles involved in breathing. With this are...

...Cardiovascular endurance refers literally to your hearts strength. You can improve cardiovascular endurance urance by doing 15 minutes of exercise in your target heart weight three times a week. Some of the exercise you can do include jogging, push ups and skipping rope. Muscular strength is the amount of force a muscle can exert in a single contraction. use bench pressing for increasing muscular strength in the chest, triceps and shoulders. you can do shoulder shrugs to increase muscular strength in back, biceps and abs. do squats for increasing muscular strength in your legs. Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle to do continuous work over a long period of time. good ways to improve muscle endurance are running , playing sports and cycling. Flexibility is the length of an eccentric motion that a muscle can preform. The best way of improving flexibility is by stretching each muscle group before exercising. Body composition is the percentages of fat, bone, water, and muscle in the human body. Some ways of improve body composition are pushing with an upper focus, pushing with the leg press and leg curls. 6 skill related factors of fitness 1. Agility: The ability to rapidly and accurately change the direction of the whole body in space. 2. Balance: The ability to maintain equilibrium while stationary or moving. 3. Coordination: The ability to use the senses and body parts in order to perform motor tasks...

...Shoulder Flexibility 8cm Above Average Cardiovascular Fitness Also called aerobic fitness, it is a measure of the heart’s ability to pump oxygen-rich blood to the working muscles during exercise, and its ability to take up and use oxygen to produce energy needed to continue exercising. Although I am satisfied with my personal fitness status, I always feel as if I could improve. Throughout high school, I was actively involved in several sports including basketball, volleyball, badminton, and track. With constant activity, I was always getting a workout to keep up my fitness level. However, when I completed high school and moved on to university, I found it very difficult to find the time to participate in physical activity. Living on my own for the first time brought many challenges including time management, which forced me to rearrange my priorities, pushing things such as working out to the bottom of the list below studying, social interaction, cooking, cleaning, etc. However, I rated very well in the Cooper’s 12 minute run test so I am pleased with my current level of cardiovascular fitness. Strategies to improve this level of fitness could include better time management skills allowing me to schedule in more hours per week devoted to physical activity. F - I would like to do 5 exercise sessions per week (preferably Sunday to Thursday) I – I would like to train at 75%...

...Lifetime Fitness/Well – PEFT 101 CFW February 19, 2012 Good flexibility is extremely important in a good exercise program. According to the American College of Sports Medicine (2003, p. 10) “flexibility is the ability to bend joints and stretch muscles through a full range of motion”. During the first week of PEFT, the class performed the Sit and Reach flexibility test. This test measures the flexibility of the lower back and the hamstrings. My stretching reached 4 inches on this test, which equates to an excellent rating. According to the American College of Sports Medicine (2003) performing regular stretching exercises such as touching the toes and holding the stretch for a minimum of 10 seconds will improve flexibility. Having good flexibility will allow for less injuries and faster recoveries from strenuous work-outs. Grip strength measures overall body strength. This was also measured during the first week of class and my rating was superior with a score of 43 kgs. in my dominant hand. According to Professor Renaud, “a healthy adult should perform 1 set of 8-12 reps on 8-10 machines”. Those numbers can vary depending upon the reference. According to Incledon (2005) a healthy adult performing a moderate workout should do 3-4 sets of 8-10 reps on a variety of at least 5 machines or free weights. Muscular strength and endurance are important in everyday life because it not only makes you look better, but you simply feel better knowing you are improving and...
