Emotional - Using activity to help regulate emotions
Categories of Fitness Components
1. Health Related Components: Necessary for everyone to have to live a healthy lifestyle and most beneficial to one’s health.

Muscular EnduranceMuscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain
repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time.
i.e., How LONG can you lift for?
FlexibilityThe ability to move at the joints through
the full range of motion (ROM).

F.I.T.T.
In order to increase health related benefits to physical fitness one must incorporate the F.I.T.T. Principle
F- Frequency- How often/many I- Intensity- How hard T-Time- How long T-Type- What exercise
S.P.O.R.T. Principle
S = Specificity Your body will adapt to the specific type
of training performed.
S.P.O.R.T. Principle
P = Progression Challenge your body’s ability gradually. Change at least one portion of the FITT
principle Will decrease risk of injury
S.P.O.R.T. Principle
O = Overload Greater then normal load (wt or reps)
required to produce training effect.
S.P.O.R.T. Principle
R = Reversibility Also referred to as “Law of Use” If you don’t use it, you will lose it. Fitness results don’t stay constant-
must continually work.
S.P.O.R.T. Principle
T = Training Effect The end result of exercise Reaching your goals
