An interactive worksheet on the 11 Components of Fitness.
Please enter your name to begin.
Let's start with three related components: Strength, Speed, and Power.
The maximum force that can be generated by a muscle or muscle group.
The distance divided by time; how fast you can move your body or a body part.
The ability to exert maximum muscular force in the shortest time. It's a combination of Strength and Speed.
Key Formula: Power = Strength x Speed

Please answer all 3 questions.
These two are about lasting a long time, but in different ways.
The ability of the cardiorespiratory system (heart and lungs) to supply oxygen to muscles to sustain work and delay fatigue. This is for *low-medium intensity* work (like a marathon) and must be over 30 minutes.
The ability of the muscular system to continue to contract at a *light to moderate intensity*. This allows for repetitive movements (like rowing or cycling) throughout a long event.
Key Difference:

The ability to maintain your centre of mass over a base of support.

Let's finish the last two definitions.
The duration between the presentation of a stimulus (like a starting pistol) and the initiation of the motor response (the start of the movement).
The relative ratio of fat mass to fat-free mass in the body.
