SPECIFIC COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS
1. Agility –The ability of the individual to change direction or position in space with quickness and
lightness of movement while maintaining dynamic balance.
2. Balance – The ability to control organic equipment neuro-muscularly; a state of equilibrium.
3. Coordination - The ability to integrate the body parts to produce smooth motion.

Aerobic
Aerobic activities, also called endurance activities, are physical activities in which people move their
large muscles in a rhythmic manner for a sustained period.
Muscle-Strengthening Activity
This kind of activity, which includes resistance training and lifting weights, causes the body’s
muscles to work or hold against an applied force or weight.
Bone-Strengthening Activity
This kind of activity (sometimes called weight-bearing or weight-loading activity) produces a force
on the bones that promotes bone growth and strength.
