What are the advantages of getting physically healthy and active? Physical fitness
is defined as the capacity of the human body to cope with the demands of everyday
tasks while still having the energy to engage in leisure and recreational activities.
Our bodies can work efficiently and effectively. It's a broad term with a lot of
different components.
1. BODY COMPOSITION
It is the relative percentage of lean body mass and body
fat - the only fitness component whose non-
performance metric is influenced by our food and level
of physical activity. Obesity or having too much fat,
especially in the abdomen area, is linked to several
non-communicable illnesses.

2. AEROBIC CAPACITY
Aerobic capacity lets heart, lungs, and blood
vessels' capacity to properly provide oxygen and
nutrients to the working muscles in order to
maintain extended rhythmical activities.

3. MUSCULAR STRENGTH
The muscle can generate the greatest force in single
repetition. This protects individuals from severe injuries
especially when he/she falls. Example: Weightlifting
4. MUSCULAR ENDURANCE
The muscle’s ability to resist fatigue when performing multiple
repetitions of submaximal load (less than the maximum load)
is called muscular endurance. It can also refer to the period of
time in which a muscle can hold a contraction. Example:
Push-Ups and Curl-Ups

5. FLEXIBILITY
Flexibility is the capacity to move a joint through its
complete range of motion without discomfort. It is
influenced by the joint's anatomy as well as the
muscles that surround it. Flexibility is crucial in
everyday tasks like scratching a portion of our back,
bending down to tie our shoes, and putting on a
shirt. Lifting, twisting, and bending become simpler Source: Origym, “Flexibility,” 2019,
