8. 5 Components of Fitness
4- Muscular Strength- which is the greatest amount of work your muscles can do at a given time.

9. 5 Components of Fitness
Body Composition- which is the amount of fat tissue your body has compared to the amount of other tissues.

10. Muscular System
Your body has three basic types of muscle tissue:

11. Cardiac muscle
Special type of tissue that forms the wall of the heart.
This muscle pumps blood through your cardiovascular system.
Cardiac muscle is an
involuntary muscle,
meaning they work without
a person’s conscious control.

12. Smooth muscle
Smooth muscles are located in places such as the intestines and blood vessels.
Smooth muscles are involuntary muscles.

13. Skeletal muscle
Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones and cause body movement.
Adults have 206 bones
There are over 600 muscles in your body.

14. Skeletal muscle
Skeletal muscles are voluntary, meaning they are under conscious control.
Skeletal muscles account for 40%-50% of your total body weight.

15. There are five basic actions of Skeletal Muscles:

16. Flexion: This means bending or folding.
Flexor muscles generally curl the body forward into the fetal position.

17. Extension: This means stretching out, the opposite of flexion.
Extensor muscles stretch the body as in bending backwards with your arms over your head.
Like waking up in the morning and stretching.

18. Abduction: This means drawing away
In body terms, it is a movement to the side as in lifting your arm or leg away from your body when you step to the side or reach out to the side.

19. Adduction: This means drawing inward
A sideways motion opposite to abduction as in bringing an arm or leg back towards the center of the body.

20. Rotation: This means turning around, like a wheel.
Movement around the axis of a bone like the movement of your head when you look from right to left or the movement of your hand and wrist when you use a screwdriver.

21. Flexors and extensors work in opposition.
Abductors and adductors work in opposition.
Rotation uses muscles that work in combination.
