ANSWERS
Cardiorespiratory capacity - is the ability the body to take in oxygen (respiration), deliver it the cells
(circulation), and use it at the cellular level to create energy (bioenergetics) for physical work
(activity).
Long Term Benefits of Cardiorespiratory Capacity *5 items* - - Decreased resting heart rate
- Decreased risk of cardiorespiratory disease
- Improved endurance
- Increased stroke volume
- Increased cardiac output
Muscular capacity - Is the full spectrum of muscular function, including endurance, strength, and
power. This component is trained using various resistance training practices.
Long Term Benefits of Muscular capacity *7 items* - - Improved functional fitness (the ability to
conduct daily activities with greater ease)
- Increased overall strength
- Improved muscular endurance
- Increased basal metabolic rate
- Improved joint and bone strength
- Better posture
- Decreased risk of injury
Social Health - The Ability to interact well with people and the environment and to have satisfying
personal relationships
Mental Health - Ability to learn and grow intellectually through life experiences as well e as more
formal structures (e.g., school)
Emotional Health - Emotional Ability to control emotions, feel comfortable expressing them, and
express them appropriately
, Flexibility - The range of movement or amount of motion that a joint is capable of perform- ing. Each
joint has a different amount of flexibil- ity, leading to various levels of mobility.
Long Term Benefits of Flexibility *4 items* - - Improved range of motion
- Improved bodily movements
- Improved posture
- Decreased risk of injury
Body composition - Is the proportion of fat free mass (i.e., muscle, bone, blood, organs, and fluids) to
fat mass (adipose tissue deposited under the skin and around organs)
Long Term Benefits of Body composition *5 items* - - Decreased risk of cardiorespiratory disease
- Improved basal metabolic rate
- Improved bodily function
- Improved body mass index (BMI)
- Higher overall self-confidence
Secondary Components Fitness *7 items* - 1. Balance
2. Coordination

4. Reaction Time
5. Speed
6. Power
7. Mental Capacity
Balance - The ability to maintain a specific body position in either a stationary or dynamic (moving)
situation, which is critical for all movement patterns
Coordination - The Ability to use multiple body parts together to produce smooth and fluid motion
Agility - The ability to change direction quickly
