In which component of fitness are you the strongest In which component of fitness are you the strongest? In which do you need to improve? Why?

Types of Physical Activity No single activity can improve or maintain all five components of fitness. Therefore, it is important to participate in a variety of physical activities. They can be classified as aerobic exercise or anaerobic exercise. Strengthening and endurance exercise activities can be further classified as isometric, isotonic, or isokinetic exercise.

Aerobic Exercise Ongoing physical activity that raises your breathing rate and heart rate. Increases the amount of oxygen that your body takes in and uses. Many aerobic exercises improve muscular endurance and cardio respiratory endurance. What are some examples.

Anaerobic Exercise Intense physical activity that lasts for a few seconds to a few minutes. Because anaerobic exercise is so intense and quick, your cardiovascular system cannot supply muscles with enough oxygen to produce energy. Your muscles do not need oxygen to meet this rapid demand for energy. Develop muscular strength, muscular endurance, or flexibility.

Isometric Exercise An exercise in which muscles contract but very little body movement takes place. Put your palms together and push them against each other. If you do isometric exercises on a regular basis, the muscles you use will become stronger.

Isotonic Exercise Contracting and relaxing your muscles through the full range of a joint’s motion. Through repetition of isotonic exercises, you can develop muscular strength and endurance. What are some examples?

Isokinetic Exercise Muscles contract at a constant rate. Most require fitness machines that provide resistance to muscle movement. These exercises are often used as therapy to rebuild muscle strength after an injury. What are some examples.
