The parts of Physical Fitness

When you see a person who is good at sports, such as the swimmer in the photo, do you assume that the person is physically fit? You might be surprised to know that this is not always true. It is true that a person who excels in sports needs a certain degree of physical fitness. However, being good at specific skills may not be a good indicator of total physical fitness, some sports require only certain parts of fitness.

Physical fitness is made up of eleven parts; five parts are health related.As the terms imply, health-related fitness helps you stay healthy, while skill-related fitness helps you perform well in sport and activities that require certain skills.
