Document Summary
Genotype + environment = phenotype: provide as complete a definition of fitness as you can. Performing different types of activities results in different types of fitness. Infectious disease: caused by pathogenic virus, and can be passed from person to person. Chronic disease: developed over time, more difficult to cure, and don"t just disappear: describe the components of physical fitness. Body composition: it is the fat vs. fat-free mass in ones body. Cardiovascular endurance: the ability of body systems to gather, process and deliver oxygen. Flexibility: the ability to optimize the range of motion at a given joint. Muscular strength: the ability of a muscular unit or combination of muscular units to apply force. Health related: body composition / cardiovascular endurance / muscular strength / muscular endurance / flexibility. Performance related: power / speed & quickness / agility / balance / motor skill. Separation of components into health-related and performance-related may not be an ideal model.
