Here are just a couple of definitions for some very key terms and factors surrounding physical fitness and what most fitness programs focus in on. I hope this is helpful to you.
Physical fitness is the ability to function effectively in physical work, training and other activities and still have enough energy left over to handle any emergencies that may arise.
The Components of physical fitness include the following:
Cardio Respiratory Endurance - the efficiency with which the body delivers oxygen and nutrients needed for muscular activity and transports waste products from the cells.
Muscular Strength - the greatest amount of force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a single effort.
Muscular Endurance - the ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated movements with a sub-maximal force for extended periods of time.
Flexibility - the ability to move joints or any group of joints through an entire, normal range of motion.
The Exercise and Fitness Programs should focus on the components of fitness as listed above using F.I.T.T. (FREQUENCY, INTENSITY, TIME AND TYPE) factors to regulate the extent of each session using the techniques provided by the Korean Hapkido and Taekwondo martial arts making up the intense regiment of mind and body conditioning and disciplining. Program intensity will increase as each new level of fitness is achieved. An individual can achieve various levels of skill through periodical evaluations of their performance identified by colored belts and sashes, a different color for each new level.
