Identify the components of physical fitness test by choosing the correct answer in the box below

The 5 components of physical fitness are often used in our school systems, health clubs and fitness centers to gauge how good a shape we are truly in. The 5 components that make up total fitness are:
- Cardiovascular Endurance
- Muscular Strength
- Muscular endurance
- Flexibility
- Body Composition
Total fitness can be defined by how well the body performs in each one of the components of physical fitness as a whole. It is not enough to be able to bench press your body weight. You also need to determine how well you can handle running a mile etc.

A closer look at the individual components:

Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart and lungs to work together to provide the needed oxygen and fuel to the body during sustained workloads. Examples would be jogging, cycling and swimming. The Cooper Run is used most often to test cardiovascular endurance.

Muscular strength is the amount of force a muscle can produce. Examples would be the bench press, leg press or bicep curl. The push up test is most often used to test muscular strength.

Muscular endurance is the ability of the muscles to perform continuous without fatiguing. Examples would be cycling, step machines and elliptical machines. The sit up test is most often used to test muscular endurance.

Flexibility is the ability of each joint to move through the available range of motion for a specific joint. Examples would be stretching individual muscles or the ability to perform certain functional movements such as the lunge. The sit and reach test is most often used to test flexibility.

Body composition is the amount of fat mass compared to lean muscle mass, bone and organs. This can be measured using underwater weighing, Skinfold readings, and bioelectrical impedance. Underwater weighing is considered the “gold standard” for body fat measurement, however because of the size and expense of the equipment needed very few places are set up to do this kind of measurement.

We don’t have your requested question, but here is a suggested video that might help.

Physical fitness testing is an important aspect of athletic training. A common measure of the magnitude of cardiovascular fitness is the maximum volume of oxygen uptake during a strenuous exercise. A study was conducted on 24 middleaged men to study the influence of the time it takes to complete a two mile run. The oxygen uptake measure was accomplished with standard laboratory methods as the subjects performed on a treadmill. The work was published in "Maximal Oxygen Intake Prediction in Young and Middle Aged Males," Journal of Sports Medicine 9 , $1969,17-22 .$ The data are as presented here. $$ \begin{array}{ccc} & y \text { , Maximum } & \text { x, Time } \\ \text { Subject } & \text { Volume of } \mathbf{O}_{2} & \text { in } \text { Seconds } \\ \hline 1 & 42.33 & 918 \\ 2 & 53.10 & 805 \\ 3 & 42.08 & 892 \\ 4 & 50.06 & 962 \\ 5 & 42.45 & 968 \end{array} $$ (Figure) $$ \begin{array}{ccc} & y, \text { Maximum } & x, \text { Time } \\ \text { Subject } & \text { Volume of } \mathrm{O}_{2} & \text { in } \text { Seconds } \\ \hline \mathbf{6} & 42.46 & 907 \\ 7 & 47.82 & 770 \\ \mathbf{8} & 49.92 & 743 \\ \mathbf{9} & 36.23 & 1045 \\ 10 & 49.66 & 810 \\ 11 & 41.49 & 927 \\ 12 & 46.17 & 813 \\ 13 & 46.18 & 858 \\ 14 & 43.21 & 860 \\ 15 & 51.81 & 760 \end{array} $$ $$ \begin{array}{ccc} & y \text { , Maximum } & x \text { , Time } \\ \text { Subject } & \text { Volume of } \mathrm{O}_{2} & \text { in } \text { Seconds } \\ \hline 16 & 53.28 & 747 \\ 17 & 53.29 & 743 \\ 18 & 47.18 & 803 \\ 19 & 56.91 & 683 \\ 20 & 47.80 & 844 \\ 21 & 48.65 & 755 \\ 22 & 53.67 & 700 \\ 23 & 60.62 & 748 \\ 24 & 56.73 & 775 \end{array} $$ (Figure) (a) Estimate the parameters in a simple linear regression model. (b) Does the time it takes to run two miles have a significant influence on maximum oxygen uptake? Use $\begin{array}{ll}H_{0}: & 0=0 \\ H_{1}: & \beta \neq 0\end{array}$ (c) Plot the residuals on a graph against $x$ and comment on the appropriateness of the simple linear model.

The ability of the muscles to function effectively and efficiently without undue fatigue (Physical Fitness-P)
It is a set of measures designed to determine the level of physical fitness. (Physical Fitness Test-E)
The ability of the joints and muscles to move through in a full range of motion (Flexibility-A)
It refers to the proportion of lean body mass to fat-free body mass. (Body Composition-B)
The ability of an individual to quickly shift or change the direction of the body from one point to the other. (Agility-I)
Ability to perform a movement in one direction in the shortest period of time. (Speed-C)
It is the amount of time it takes to respond to a stimulus (Reaction Time-D)
It refers to the maintenance of equilibrium while stationary or while moving (Balance-G)
Ability to perform one maximum effort in the shortest possible time. It is a product of both strength and speed. (Power-F)
It refers to the amount of free time left after doing the entire daily activities were accomplished. (Leisure-M)
It is a term goal plan that requires a limited amount of time. (Short Term-K)
Its purpose is to measure the strength of upper extremities (Push-Up-J)
It refers to measuring the coordination of the eye and hand. (Juggling-L)
The ability of the muscle to exert maximal effort in a brief duration. (Muscular Endurance-N)
It is defined as the maximum pull or push that can be exerted one time by a muscle group. ( Muscular Strength-H)

Physical fitness is the ability and ability to do work efficiently without causing significant fatigue.

Examples include jogging, swimming, riding, and fast strolling. Exercises for strength, often known as resistance training, make your muscles stronger. Lifting weights and utilizing a resistance band is a couple of examples. Exercises that improve balance can make it easier to navigate rocky terrain and reduce the risk of falling.
