Reasons for and limitations of fitness testing

This unit will explore the relationship between health, fitness, exercise and performance before unpacking the different components of fitness. This understanding will include key definitions, how to test and train each but also which components are most important for different sports.

Physical training: health and fitness

"The range of movements possible at a joint" is describing which component of fitness?

the ability to use different parts of the body together

the ability to move and change direction quickly

the maintenance of the centre of mass over the base

the time taken to initiate a response to a stimulus

Match the correct definition to the component of fitness.

Which athlete is most likely to require good agility?

Identify the correct fitness test for power.

Which athlete would not need great reaction time?

Match the component of fitness to the correct fitness test.

"The ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to working muscles" is the definition of which component of fitness?

The fitness test to measure speed is the {{}} metre sprint test.

Match the fitness test to the correct component of fitness.

the ability to continue exertion while getting energy from the aerobic system

the ability to move your body and muscles repeatedly without fatiguing

the ability to move quickly across the ground or move limbs rapidly

the maximum force a muscle/group of muscles can apply against a resistance

What is the correct definition of muscular endurance?

Which athlete is most likely to need good cardiovascular endurance to support performance?

to move and change direction quickly whilst maintaining control

Correctly match the keywords with the definition.
