Health-related fitness — satisfactory or healthy levels of flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength and endurance, and body composition (5 components)

Can prevent disease and promote health by reducing risks for certain diseases

5 components

• Flexibility• Cardiovascular fitness• Muscular strength• Muscular endurance• Body composition

Ability to move body joints through a full range of motion

Tests

• Sit-and-reach• Shoulder lift

Sustained aerobic exercise (15-30 min)
