What are the 5 components of Health Related Fitness? Briefly explain them and give a sport where that component would be vital?
- Cardiovascular fitness:?It refers to the stamina or the ability to execute actions continuously for a certain time period. Eg, Cross Country.
- Flexibility:?Flexibility is how well our joints can be bent. Eg, Dance.
- Body composition:?It is the physical makeup of the body. Eg, all sports
- Muscular Endurance:?It is being able to exert for a certain time period. Eg, Swimming
- Muscular Strength:?It is the amount of force that your body is able exert on an object.?Eg, Weight lifting

Agility: The ability to rapidly and accurately change the direction of the whole body in space.
Balance: The ability to maintain equality while stationary or moving.
Coordination: The ability to use the senses and body parts in order to perform motor tasks smoothly and accurately.
Power: The amount of force a muscle can exert.
Reaction Time: The ability to respond quickly to stimuli.
Speed: The amount of time it takes the body to perform specific tasks.
Level ?8/9/10 | My Cardio Vascular Endurance is strong I run very often and do not get tired. I am very motivated to do CV fitness during the week at least 4 times. I feel very strong in my chosen sports from a CV perspective. I feel great after I run I think I would score very highly on a CV endurance test. My Vo2 max is above 40 |
Level 6/7 | My CV endurance is good. I run regularly outside of school. I am usually motivated to run and feel good afterwards. When it starts to hurt, I dig in deep and find that extra stamina to keep going. My Vo2 max is above 30 |
Level 4/5 | My CV endurance could be better. I can run for a small distance without getting tired but then want to stop. Maybe my motivation drops or my heart hurts and I get out of breath. I don?t really do much for my CV endurance fitness outside of school. My Vo2 max is above 20 |
Level 1/2/3 | My CV endurance is not very good. I get out of breath easily. My heart hurts, my head hurts and I get dizzy. My body struggles to cope with the demands placed upon me. I feel very bad after doing CV endurance exercise. My Vo2 max is below 20 |
MY OWN Level 5 | Why?? because I don?t really do much running outside school. I also think I should improve my running skills. |
Cooper test
We did the cooper test where we ran as far as possible in 12mins. I ran 1600m in 12 mins. I think I could have done better but as I?m not into any such sports these days, I guess it wasn?t that bad. But I can try and improve during cross country unit.

Fitness Test
We did a fitness test in class where we analyzed different aspects of fitness by carrying out some?exercises.
To begin with, we measured our height and weight and used BMI to check whether we had a healthy weight or not. I was quite satisfied with my result as it said I had a healthy weight for my age and my BMI was 23.0. However BMI cannot be fully trusted upon as the weight of a person can be also affected by their muscles and other factors.
Then we counted how many burpees we could do in a minute. Burpees help in testing agility, co-ordination and cardio-vascular endurance. I did 30 burpees in a minute and was quite satisfied that each one of them took me 2 seconds. However by the end of a minute I was panting badly so that might refer to me not being as fit as I?m supposed to be.
Then we did vertical jump heights which tested our muscular strength. I reached around 33 inches. I think it also depended on our height as there is certainly a limit to the level you can achieve depending on ur height.
We did a flexibility test and I think I was really good as I know my flexibility is quite good as I dance a lot. We used the presidents and council flexibility test equipment which was a box with a slider on top and we had to reach out to our toes and push the slider as far as we could.
We also did sit ups and push ups and counted how many we could do in a minute. I did 29 sit ups in a minute which was average. However due to lack of time I couldn?t do the push-ups.
Self Analysis
I feel that I have an average level of fitness when it comes to cardio-vascular endurance, muscular endurance, and muscular strength. The reason for this could be the lack of physical activities in my daily life as I don?t play any sport. However my flexibility is at a high level and body composition is also at a high level as I dance a lot. I take quite a few dance lessons and dance is a part of my daily routine. Flexibility is one of the main demands for fitness in dance. Thus I have developed it over a long time.
I could improve the other areas of fitness by trying and probably going for a run on the weekends. Or by setting a set of exercises for myself and make sure that I execute them everyday without fail. The fitness unit has helped me understand the different types of workouts that can help us build our body. So after field studies, I will start doing them regularly.
SMART GOALS
- To be able to do a split by the end of this year. I will stretch every single day and there are exercises that help you do a split. They will be really helpful to incorporate in a dance choreography. Also it will take my flexibility a level higher.
- To run cross country under 16 mins. I will run on the weekends if I can. I shall not stop during my run and won?t stop walking. I shall make use of music and mental motivation to help me achieve my goal.
- I will try and take the role of leadership in group games. I will either try to lead the people in my team when we are divided in groups or try and be a good listener. I think as a sports person and as a human being, leadership and listening skills are extremely important.
