Importance of Physical
Fitness
Physical fitness is a general state of heath, and well-being and, more 
specifically,  the  ability  to  perform  aspects  of sports or  occupations. 
Physical  fitness  is  generally  achieved  through  correct nutrition, 
moderate-vigorous Physical  exercise,  physical  activity,   and  sufficient 
rest.
• Before the industrial revolution, fitness was the capacity to carry out 
the day’s activities without undue fatigue. However, with automation 
and changes in lifestyles physical fitness is now considered a measure 
of the body's ability to function efficiently and effectively in work and 
leisure  activities,  to  be healthy,  to  resist hypokinetic  diseases,  and  to 
meet emergency situations.
Fitness is defined as the quality of being suitable to perform a 
        particular  task.  Around  1950,  perhaps  consistent  with  the 
    Industrial Revolution and the treatise of World War II, the term 
        fitness  increased  in  western  vernacular  by  a  factor  of  ten.     
        Modern  definition  of  fitness  describe  either  a  person  or 
machine's  ability  to  perform  a  specific  function  or  a  holistic  definition  of  human 
adaptability to cope with various situations. This has led to an interrelation of human 
fitness  and  attractiveness  which  has  mobilized  global  fitness  and  fitness  equipment 
industries. Regarding specific function, fitness is attributed to personnel who possess 
significant aerobic or anaerobic ability, i.e. strength or endurance. A holistic definition 
of fitness is described by Greg Glassman in the Cross Fit journal as an increased work 
capacity  across  broad  times  and  modal  domains;  mastery  of  several  attributes  of 
fitness  including  strength,  endurance,  power,  speed,  balance  and  coordination  and 
being  able  to  improve  the  amount  of  work  done in  a  given  time  with  any  of  these 
domains.  A  well  rounded  fitness  program  will  improve  a  person  in  all  aspects  of 
fitness,  rather  than  one,  such  as  only  cardio/respiratory  endurance  or  only  weight 
training.
Why is it Important to Be Physically Fit?
•People who are physically fit are also healthier, are able to
maintain their most optimum weight, and are also not prone
to cardiac and other health problems. In order to maintain a
relaxed state of mind, a person should be physically active.
A person who is fit both physically and mentally is strong
enough to face the ups and downs of life, and is not
affected by drastic changes if they take place.
How Can You Become More Physically Fit?
•Becoming physically fit requires a change in life style as well. You will
have to incorporate a regular exercise routine in your life and also eat
healthier. By avoiding junk foods, fizzy drinks, bad habits
like smoking and alcohol and by
getting adequate amount of rest, you
will be able to become physically and
mentally fit. Just by eliminating all
these food substances from your life,
no matter how temporarily, you will
allow your body to detox and become stronger.
Make sure that you spend more time outdoors in the sun, and fresh air
and take part in more healthy activities. Fishing, bicycling, swimming,
hiking, and even playing foot ball with your kids should be a part of your
physically fit lifestyle.
What Are the Advantages of Being More
Active?
•By becoming more active you can increase
your body’s fitness levels and also avoid
health problems like diabetes and high
blood pressure from developing. Exercise is
also good for your joints and makes your
body stronger overall.

Primary Components of Fitness
The four primary components (also known as the components of health related fitness) that
are important to improved physical health are as follows:
•Cardiorespiratory capacity is the ability of the body to take in oxygen (respiration), deliver it to the cells
(circulation), and use it at the cellular level to create energy (bioenergetics) for physical work (activity). In
fitness, we also refer to cardiorespiratory capacity as aerobic capacity. This capacity includes aerobic
endurance (how long), aerobic strength (how hard), and aerobic power (how fast). Some of the long-term
adaptations of cardiorespiratory training are: decreased resting heart rate, decreased risk of
cardiovascular disease, improved endurance, increased stroke volume and cardiac output.
• Muscular capacity refers to the spectrum of muscular capability. This includes muscular endurance
(i.e., the ability to apply force over a long period of time or to complete repeated muscle contractions);
muscular strength (i.e., the ability to generate force, or the maximum amount of force that a muscle can
exert in a single contraction); and muscular power (i.e., the ability to generate strength in an explosive
way). Some of the long-term adaptations of improving muscular capacity are increased strength,
improved muscular endurance, increased basal metabolic rate, improved joint strength, and overall
posture.
•Flexibility is the range of movement or amount of motion that a joint is capable of performing. Each joint
has a different amount of flexibility. Some of the long-term adaptations of improved flexibility are
decreased risk of injury, improved range of motion, improved bodily movements, and improved posture.
•Body composition is the proportion of fat-free mass (muscle, bone, blood, organs, and fluids) to fat
mass (adipose tissue deposited under the skin and around organs). Some of the long-term adaptations
of improving body composition are decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, improved basal metabolic
rate, improved bodily function, and improved BMI.
Secondary Components of Fitness
The secondary components of fitness (also known as the components of
performance based fitness) are involved in all physical activity and are necessary for
daily functioning. Athletes experience different levels of success depending on how
well these secondary fitness components are developed. Although the primary
components of fitness are thought to be the most important, we should not ignore the
secondary components because of their importance in the completion of daily tasks.
The secondary components include the following.
• Balance is the ability to maintain a specific body position in either a stationary or
dynamic (moving) situation.
• Coordination is the ability to use all body parts together to produce smooth and fluid
motion.
• Agility is the ability to change direction quickly.
• Reaction time is the time required to respond to a specific stimulus.
• Speed is the ability to move rapidly. Speed is also known as velocity (rate of
motion).
• Power is the product of strength and speed. Power is also known as explosive
strength.
• Mental capability is the ability to concentrate during exercise to improve training
effects as well as the ability to relax and enjoy the psychological benefits of activity
(endorphins).
Benefits of Physical Activity
•As fitness professionals, we spend a great
deal of time inspiring and assisting others in
their pursuit of improved health. Education is
an important aspect of this. We must
promote the benefits of regular activity and
help people understand why they should be
active.

Just by eliminating all these food substances from your life, no matter how temporarily, you will allow your body to detox and become stronger. Make sure that you spend more time outdoors in the sun, and fresh air and take part in more healthy activities. Fishing, bicycling, swimming, hiking, and even playing foot ball with your kids should be a part of your physically fit lifestyle.
  • 6. What Are the Advantages of Being More Active? •By becoming more active you can increase your body’s fitness levels and also avoid health problems like diabetes and high blood pressure from developing. Exercise is also good for your joints and makes your body stronger overall.
  • 8. Primary Components of Fitness The four primary components (also known as the components of health related fitness) that are important to improved physical health are as follows: •Cardiorespiratory capacity is the ability of the body to take in oxygen (respiration), deliver it to the cells (circulation), and use it at the cellular level to create energy (bioenergetics) for physical work (activity). In fitness, we also refer to cardiorespiratory capacity as aerobic capacity. This capacity includes aerobic endurance (how long), aerobic strength (how hard), and aerobic power (how fast). Some of the long-term adaptations of cardiorespiratory training are: decreased resting heart rate, decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, improved endurance, increased stroke volume and cardiac output. • Muscular capacity refers to the spectrum of muscular capability. This includes muscular endurance (i.e., the ability to apply force over a long period of time or to complete repeated muscle contractions); muscular strength (i.e., the ability to generate force, or the maximum amount of force that a muscle can exert in a single contraction); and muscular power (i.e., the ability to generate strength in an explosive way). Some of the long-term adaptations of improving muscular capacity are increased strength, improved muscular endurance, increased basal metabolic rate, improved joint strength, and overall posture. •Flexibility is the range of movement or amount of motion that a joint is capable of performing. Each joint has a different amount of flexibility. Some of the long-term adaptations of improved flexibility are decreased risk of injury, improved range of motion, improved bodily movements, and improved posture. •Body composition is the proportion of fat-free mass (muscle, bone, blood, organs, and fluids) to fat mass (adipose tissue deposited under the skin and around organs). Some of the long-term adaptations of improving body composition are decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, improved basal metabolic rate, improved bodily function, and improved BMI.
  • 9. Secondary Components of Fitness The secondary components of fitness (also known as the components of performance based fitness) are involved in all physical activity and are necessary for daily functioning. Athletes experience different levels of success depending on how well these secondary fitness components are developed. Although the primary components of fitness are thought to be the most important, we should not ignore the secondary components because of their importance in the completion of daily tasks. The secondary components include the following. • Balance is the ability to maintain a specific body position in either a stationary or dynamic (moving) situation. • Coordination is the ability to use all body parts together to produce smooth and fluid motion. • Agility is the ability to change direction quickly. • Reaction time is the time required to respond to a specific stimulus. • Speed is the ability to move rapidly. Speed is also known as velocity (rate of motion). • Power is the product of strength and speed. Power is also known as explosive strength. • Mental capability is the ability to concentrate during exercise to improve training effects as well as the ability to relax and enjoy the psychological benefits of activity (endorphins).
  • 10. Benefits of Physical Activity •As fitness professionals, we spend a great deal of time inspiring and assisting others in their pursuit of improved health. Education is an important aspect of this. We must promote the benefits of regular activity and help people understand why they should be active.
