0:06 how's it going team welcome back to Adam
0:09 II to get active there's definitely a
0:12 few things we need somewhere to Train
0:15 some equipment a big bottle of water
0:18 definitely some overpriced activewear oh
0:22 and a little thing called Fitness that's right
0:23 right
0:25 physical activity actually has fitness
0:27 requirements or your syllabus calls
0:30 components of fitness there's actually
0:32 quite a bit to cover in this part of the
0:34 syllabus so we're gonna split it into
0:36 two videos starting with a general
0:40 overview then we're gonna break it down
0:42 into health related components covering
0:45 these ones here and in the next video
0:47 we'll look at skill related components
0:50 including these ones here with all of
0:52 that we'll have a really nice
0:54 understanding of what it actually means
0:57 to be physically fit let's get straight
0:59 into it with an overview of fitness
1:01 components if you were to pause this
1:03 video and look up what Fitness is on the Internet
1:04 Internet
1:06 you'd get a super generic definition
1:10 that doesn't really tell you much with a
1:13 definition like this to individuals with
1:15 totally different levels of physical
1:17 ability may consider themselves to be in
1:18 tip-top shape
1:22 so to make things a little more clear we
1:24 our Fitness components these are the
1:26 various components that actually
1:28 contribute to physical performance
1:31 usually we consider how strong or weak
1:34 an athlete is based on these individual
1:36 components and the strongest some one is
1:38 for most components then the food they
1:42 generally are now we split these up into
1:45 two groups health-related and skill
1:47 related components health rated
1:49 components relate to the health and
1:52 well-being of the athlete making sure
1:54 the body is free from illness or injury
1:58 there all of these ones here skill
1:59 related components relate to the body's
2:02 ability to effectively participate in a
2:04 range of activities and they're these
2:07 ones here it's important to recognize
2:08 that different sports require different
2:10 components from both of these lists
2:12 depending on the type of movement and
2:15 intensity of the sport let's look at
2:17 these components in more detail
2:19 starting with our health-related ones
2:22 first up is cardio respiratory endurance
2:25 this refers to the ability of the cardio
2:27 respiratory system to transport oxygen
2:30 to the working muscles more specifically
2:33 it's about how efficiently the arabic
2:35 energy system provides energy through
2:38 the heart and lungs athletes with a high
2:39 level of cardio respiratory endurance
2:42 can exercise at higher intensity levels
2:45 without feeling overly fatigues and can
2:48 recover faster after working being
2:51 Arabic meaning it's related to oxygen
2:53 this is an important component for
2:55 activities that engage the arabic energy
2:58 system such as marathons and long
3:02 distance cycling then we have muscular
3:05 endurance muscular endurance is the
3:07 ability of our muscles to repetitively
3:09 contract against resistance over a
3:12 period of time more specifically it's
3:14 about how efficiently the anaerobic
3:17 energy systems the atp-cp
3:20 and lactic acid systems can provide
3:22 energy to the muscles and how those
3:25 muscle cells utilizes energy over and
3:28 over again athletes with a high level of
3:31 muscular endurance are able to exert
3:33 maximal force for a prolonged time
3:35 without feeling the onset of fatigue as
3:38 quickly because of this it's an
3:40 essential component for repetitive
3:44 activities like rowing and short
3:46 distance Amin where athletes need to
3:48 push as hard as they can for a certain
3:52 amount of time our next component is
3:55 muscular strength strength refers to an
3:58 athlete's ability to exert force against
4:00 resistance in a single maximal
4:03 contraction it's pretty simple the
4:05 greater the strength of a muscle the
4:08 more force the muscle can exert for
4:11 example a super strong athlete can throw
4:13 this container of protein powder really
4:16 far while our less built friend isn't
4:19 able to push it as much muscular
4:21 strength is essential in a lot of
4:24 anaerobic activities that is sports that
4:26 don't require oxygen for example
4:29 activities that require lifting pushing
4:31 or pulling
4:33 like weightlifting and those that
4:34 require athletes to hold their own
4:38 bodyweight like rings and gymnastics
4:40 flexibility is another Fitness component
4:43 that is key in a range of sports this
4:45 refers to the range of movement athletes
4:48 have around their joints the greater our
4:50 flexibility the more mobility we have
4:53 the further were able to stretch twist
4:55 and bend in different directions without
4:59 causing any injury athletes that are
5:01 highly flexible are able to complete a
5:03 variety of movements which is essential
5:06 for activities like competitive dancing
5:09 and gymnastics it's also essential in a
5:11 lot of team sports like soccer and
5:13 hockey where players need to be mobile
5:16 and stretch their limbs to intercept a
5:19 pass or a shot next up is body
5:21 composition body composition is the
5:23 relative proportion of an athlete's fat
5:27 muscle and bone content having too much
5:29 body fat often puts a strain on the
5:30 muscles and joints during physical
5:33 activity which can inhibit movement
5:37 altogether with this in mind zero body
5:39 fat doesn't equate to better performance
5:41 in all sports what's considered an
5:44 optimal body composition depends on the
5:47 demands of each activity let's look at
5:48 some sporting examples to make it a bit
5:52 more clear cyclists for example need to
5:55 be light to make riding easier as well
5:56 as strong so they can push themselves
5:59 through the race so it's optimal to have
6:01 a high muscle percentage and low body
6:05 fat but other activities like rugby need
6:08 strong more stocky athletes so it's
6:10 optimal for them to have a higher body
6:11 fat percentage
6:14 there isn't a strict right and wrong
6:16 when it comes to body composition but
6:18 athletes need to be aware of the
6:20 requirements for their particular sport
6:23 all right guys that's the first half of
6:25 our Fitness components finished we've
6:28 covered a lot so let's just do a quick
6:30 summary in sport
6:32 we'll use the components of fitness to
6:34 define what it actually means to be fit
6:37 so far we've covered the health-related
6:39 components which are these ones here
6:42 breaking each one down with a definition
6:44 explanation and spa
6:46 example will make it really easy when
6:48 you go back to revise this part of your
6:51 syllabus take a screenshot now answer a
6:53 few quiz questions and move on to the
6:55 next video [Music]
