Period 6 Blog #4 Health Realted Fitness Components

Below are the five Health Related Components of Fitness. Our fitness testing at the beginning of the semester tested our abilities in each of these catagories.

Read through the components and pick out the one that you feel you need to focus on this semester.

In your blog I want to know three things:
1. What component are you going to focus on?
2. Why did you choose that component?
3. What are you going to do to improve in that component?

Cardiovascular Fitness: The ability of the circulatory system (heart and blood vessels) to supply oxygen to working muscles during exercise.
Body Composition: The relative percentage of body fat compared to lean body mass (muscle, bone, water,etc)
Flexibility: The range of movement possible at various joints.
Muscular strength: The amount of force that can be produced by a single contraction of a muscle
Muscular endurance: The ability of a muscle group to continue muscle movement over a length of time.

I am going to focus to muscular strength.

Even though I have good muscular endurance, I would like to improve my overall force my muscles could produce.

I can lift weights and do push-ups and do sit-ups over a period of time. I can also do squats and jogs to improve my leg muscles.

1. Muscular Endurance
2. I can't do many pushups or lift weights for too long
3. I have dumbells at home so when i really want to improve then i'd lift them for a long time each day, increasing the number of lifts each week
