What Is Physical Health?

There are five areas of health related fitness. They are heart and lung endurance or cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.

There are six skill-related fitness components: agility, balance, coordination, speed, power, and reaction time. Skilled athletes typically excel in all six areas.

• Muscular Strength. This is the “power” that helps you to lift and carry heavy objects.
• Muscular Endurance. Endurance is the ability of your muscles to perform contractions for extended periods of time.
• Cardiovascular Endurance.
• Flexibility.
• Body Fat Composition.

What are the 12 components of physical fitness and examples?

• 1 – Body Composition.
• 3 – Cardiovascular Endurance.
• 4 – Muscular Endurance.
• 5 – Muscular Strength. 6 – Speed. 7 – Power. 8 – Reaction Time. 9 – Agility. 10 – Coordination. 11 – Static Balance. 12 – Dynamic Balance. 13 – Fun (yeah I know I made it up, but it is important)

Physical fitness is classified into two types. These are – Health-related physical fitness and Performance-related physical fitness.

In order to get the maximum out of your training you need to apply the four key principles of training – specificity, progression, overload and individualisation – to what you do.

A vertical jump or vertical leap is the act of jumping upwards into the air. It is an effective exercise for building both endurance and explosive power. It is also a standard test for measuring the power output of an athlete. It may also be referred to as a Sargent jump, named for Dudley Allen Sargent.

The truth is your genetics do dictate your potential to jump. Muscle fiber type and CNS efficiency are just two examples of traits that will ultimately determine how high you can jump, both of which are nearly impossible to see just by looking at someone.

Vertical Jump Test (Without Equipment)

1. Start – Find a tall wall to use.
2. Tape – Take some double sided tape, or roll a piece of tape into a ball and very lightly stick it to the tip of your middle finger (another option is to use chalk on the tip of your finger).
3. Reach – You need to establish the height of your reach.

8 Drills To Increase Vertical Jump To Become More Explosive

1. Single Leg Bounds.
2. Squat Jumps.
3. Broad Jumps.
4. Rotational Box Jump.

One-Week Jump Training Plan

1. Back Squats – 5×6-10 @ 75-85%
2. Lunges – 3×8-12 on each leg.
3. Romanian Deadlifts – 3×8-12.
4. Reverse Hyperextensions – 3×12-15.

Jumping with ankle weights only makes you better at jumping while wearing ankle weights. This practice won’t help you jump higher without them. To become a higher jumper, you have to practice raising your body up against resistance and strengthen the muscles you use to jump, specifically the thighs, glutes and calves.

Wearable ankle weights also pull on the ankle joint, which poses the risk of tendon or ligament injuries to the knees, hips, and back. But wearable ankle weights are helpful for exercises that target the leg and hip muscles, like leg lifts. “The weight places a greater load on the muscle group being targeted.
