wellness
a set of attributes that people have or achieve relating to their ability to perform physical activity
physical fitness
states of being such as physical fitness, health and wellness
products
ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity
cardiovascular fitness
components of physical fitness that have a relationship with enhanced performance in sports and motor skills (i.e. agility, balance, coordination, speed, reaction time)
skill-related physical fitness
ability to rapidly change the position of the entire body in space with speed & accuracy.
agility
maintenance of equilibrium while stationary or moving.
balance
ability to use the senses, such as sight & hearing, together with body parts in performing motor tasks smoothly and accurately.
coordination
ability to the rate at which one can perform work.
power
the time elapsed between stimulation and the beginning of the reaction to it.
reaction time
non-performance components of physical fitness that relate to biological systems that are influenced by one's level of habitual physical activity.
physiological fitness
state of metabolic systems and variables predictive of the risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease which can be favorably altered by increased physical activity or regular endurance exercise without the requirement of a training (related increase in V-O2 max)
metabolic fitness
non-performance component of fitness related to body composition factors such as body circumferences, body fat content, regional body fat distribution.
morphological fitness
non-performance component of fitness related to bone mineral density.
bone integrity
non-fitness abilities that improve with practice (learning) and relate to one's ability to perform specific sports and other motor tasks.
motor skills
conditions related to inactivity or low levels of habitual activity.
hypokinetic conditions
state of being associated with freedom from disease and illness that also includes a positive component (wellness) that is associated with a quality of life and positive well-being.
health
bodily movement that is produced by the contraction of skeletal muscle and that substantially increases energy expenditure.
physical activity
the study of distribution and determinants of health-related states in specified populations, and the application of this study to control health problems.
epidemiology
group of cases in a specific time and place that may or may not be greater than expected rate
cluster
occurrence of more cases of disease than would normally be expected in a specific place/group of people over a certain period of time
