11 FITNESS GOALS TO ACHIEVE

 INTRODUCTION:

• WHAT IS FITNESS?

‘Fitness’ is a term that encompasses 11 key components. These can be grouped into health-related components and skills-related components.

By understanding these different components, students can better understand how different activities can contribute to our overall level of fitness.

And when they apply this understanding to team sports and the different roles played by different members of the team, they can also begin to understand how the different requirements of each position mean that players may require different training.

You can measure each component with a variety of tests and, over time, this will show you how a person’s fitness is changing. These tests not only help people to understand their current level of fitness, they can also help to evaluate and guide training regimens too.
