Intensity- how hard a person performs physical activities Time- how long a person performs physical activities Type- the kind of physical activities that a person performs to develop a fitness component or obtain a specific benefit

4 Cardiorespiratory Endurance
Ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity Improves metabolic rate, immune system, prevents against cancer, psychological well-being Maintaining Measuring

5 Cardiorespiratory Endurance
Frequency- 3-5 days a week, more can stress immune system Intensity- T.H.R.- about 75% of the individuals maximum heart rate Time- time depends on intensity. Type- aerobic

6 Muscular Strength & Endurance
Maximum amount of force a muscle can produce in a single effort. Continuing without fatigue. Posture, reduce injuries, improve self image, keep bones dense and strong, Maintaining Measuring

Time reps. At least 1 set of each exercise. 3 sets for maximum benefits. Type- depends on what the individual wants to accomplish

8 Flexibility Ability to bend and move the joints through the full range of motion. Quality of life, prevent and relieve arthritis, improves performance Measuring

9 Flexibility Frequency- 2-3 times a week as part of a cool down for weight training Intensity seconds. Between each stretch there should be seconds. Repeated 3-5 times Time minutes Type- Static, ballistic stretching

10 Healthful Body Composition
