In addition to clarifying the definition of health-related fitness, this article is intended to shed some light on some of the related terms, and to show their distinctions.
Is it all in one name?
The world of fitness seems to use the concept of physical health related to fitness as a generic principle - interchangeable with others like "Fitness", "Health and Wellness" or simply "fitness".
Although these terms may be included under the general state of health and fitness, they relate to different aspects individually - both generic and specific. Unfortunately, references to these terms and other terms related to physical fitness are often vague, while consistency in their original function is sparse at best; There is a type of use "generally accepted" for them, but individuals often rely on their own interpretation, which can lead to confusion.
That said, health-related fitness simply deduces the form of good health? Not too much. That is why we have to understand a little more behind those words before the digestion of the definition.
How to Celebrate the Term Related to Physical Fitness It?
That is a good question. You could probably wonder why this whole concept - can not you just use "fitness" or "physical fitness" instead? Why "related" health?
The main reason lies in the fact that most of the terms of health and fitness are used in an incompatible manner and often refer to different concepts or notions. Following the 1996 Surgeon General's report (physical activity and health, surgeon general of the report), there was a move to try to remedy the alarming rise in obesity rates across the US public. Studies and initiatives need standardization among physicians, health professionals and trainers in physical condition to tackle the task at hand. Introduce "related physical health", a term of work to address the overall health situation among the population.
The Definition of Healthy Fitness
According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the main authority in this area, ineffective definitions with vague and subjective formulations, as well as definitions containing terms that require their own definition, contributed to confusing the term fitness.
There is no reliable guide for health professionals and the ability to measure "fitness" because the term has been so loosely defined and inconsistent. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the concept of health-related physical condition. Therefore, the definition focuses on the five components of fitness that relate to "good health." These components are:
Cardiorespiratory fitness
Body composition
flexibility
Muscle strength
Muscular endurance
On the other hand, Skill components related to fitness are:
balance
Reaction time
coordination
agility
Speed
Power
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the definition of fitness focuses on the difference between physical condition related to physical health and athletic ability. Its starting point is the "health" of the American nation, which is often called "the perspective of public health." In this sense, the 5 components of fitness related to health are more important than those related to athletic ability (or components related to skills).
Although the concept of related physical health is an integral partnership with "good health", the 5 components are covered by individual health professionals so that they can measure.
Now that we have a better understanding of the term, what is it for?
The goal of measuring five components is to advise clients on their health and use test data to design appropriate exercise programs, which can then be evaluated.
The 5 components also help provide comprehensive holistic health, which is of direct interest to the health of the ordinary citizen, in which the concept is normative. In other words, it is a standard that allows a consistent application.
It is therefore important for people working in the health and pH conditioning industry
Thus, the distinction between these two terms is that health-related physical condition can be measured by an established set of comparative standards.
This is where "rubber hits the road." The guidelines established by the CMHA allow health professionals working with clients to evaluate and measure their response to exercise and prescribe appropriate exercise programs. A client's progress can be controlled and adjusted as necessary to achieve desired fitness goals.
