Understand the definition of health-related fitness

in #fitness3 years ago

Being a health and fitness professional, is my duty to understand the terms and definitions that usually occur in this industry, also to follow the growing trends. Through my experience, I have found that a number of terms deserve to get a little more clarification than given.

In addition to clarifying the definition of health-related fitness, this article intends to explain some related terms, and to show each difference.

Is only all names?

The world of fitness seems to use health-related fitness concepts such as generic fitness principles - can be exchanged with other people such as "physical fitness", "health and fitness" or just "fitness".

While all of these terms can be included in long-term health and physical fitness, they individually refer to different aspects - both generic and specific. Unfortunately, references to this and other related fitness terms are often unclear, while consistency in the intended use is the best; There is a kind of "generally accepted" for them, but individuals often rely on their own interpretation, and this can cause confusion.

With that, does health related fitness just conclude fitness in a good health way? Not too. That's why we need to understand a little more behind these words before digesting the definition.

How does health physical fitness terms happen?

That's a good question. People might be able to ask what this concept is all - can't we use the term "fitness" or "physical fitness" instead? "Why is health" related "?

The main reason comes from the fact that most of the terms of health and fitness are used inconsistently and often refer to different concepts or ideas. After the 1996 report from the General Surgeon (physical and health activity; reports of general surgeons), there are steps to try and overcome the increase in obesity levels that are worrying among Americans in general. Studies and initiatives need standardization among doctors, health practitioners, and fitness coaches to wrestle with the tasks faced. Enter "health-related physical fitness", work terms to overcome general health conditions among the public.

Definition of Health Related Fitness

According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the main authority in this field, the definition that is ineffective with unclear and subjective words, and definitions containing the term requested itself, has contributed to confusing the term "physical fitness."

There is no reliable guide for health and fitness professionals to measure "physical fitness", because the term has been loosely and inconsistently defined. Therefore, one must consider the concept of health-related fitness. Therefore the definition is centered on 5 components of physical fitness related to "good health." These components are:

Cardiorespiratory fitness.
Body composition
Flexibility
Muscle strength
Muscle resistance
On the other hand, the fitness component related skills are:
Balance
Reaction time
Coordination
Agility
Speed
Power
According to Disease Control and Prevention Center (CDC), the definition of physical fitness emphasizes the difference between physical fitness related to health and physical fitness physical abilities. The point of departure is the "health" of the US nation, which is often referred to as "public health perspective." In that case, 5 health-related fitness components are more important than those related to athletic capabilities (or skills related components).
Although the concept of health-related fitness has an integral association with "good health", 5 components are intended individually by health professionals to allow their measurements.

Now we have a deeper understanding of the term, what goals are served?
