health related fitness

  Health related fitness is the measure of the physical, general well-being for a person's body. It is the target of exercise to improve in any of the components of health related fitness. Different activities and sports require some components of health related fitness to a higher level while some only a low level, and this is why some athletes struggle to acheive these high levels of some components of health related fitness to improve and to achieve.
  There are about 5 types of components of health related fitness: cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, and body composition. Cardiovascular endurance (a.k.a. aerobic fitness) measures the ability to exercise that demands the circulatory and respiratory system over a long period of time. Muscular strength measures how much force a person can produce with their muscles. Muscular endurance should not be confused with strength as endurance measures the ability of muscles to repeatedly apply force over a long period of time. Flexibility measures the amount of joint movement, and body composition measures how much fat a person has.
  The activity that I will be showing is push-ups. Push-ups do relate to improving health related fitness because it is one of the simplest ways to improve muscular strength and endurance. Push-ups target the biceps and triceps muscles in the arms when performing this exercise. If a person want to build muscle, he should do push-ups as many as he can without feeling any pain or a feeling of tiredness, but it is recommended to start with a small number of push-ups to avoid injury. If a person starts to fell a bit of pain when doing push-ups, he should stop and take a rest, then when the perosn fells alright he can continue with the exercise.
  One of the health related fitness activities that I am planning for the summer is walking or running and this focuses on cardiovascular endurance. Another plan is stretching and practicing some martial arts move and these may involve in flexibility. I would also like to work out a bit and to increase my muscular strength and endurance for the summer by either doing push-ups, or weight lifting.
