1. Meaning of Physical Fitness:
   • Physical fitness is the ability of the body to perform daily activities efficiently without undue fatigue and with enough energy for leisure activities.
2. Components of Physical Fitness:
   • Cardiovascular Endurance: The ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity (e.g., running, cycling).
   • Muscular Strength: The maximum amount of force a muscle can exert (e.g., lifting weights).
   • Muscular Endurance: The ability of a muscle to perform repeated contractions over time (e.g., push-ups).
   • Flexibility: The range of motion available at a joint (e.g., stretching exercises).
   • Body Composition: The proportion of fat and non-fat mass in the body (e.g., measuring body fat percentage).
3. Health-Related Components:
   • Cardiovascular Fitness: Important for heart health and overall endurance.
   • Muscular Strength and Endurance: Essential for daily functional activities and injury prevention.
   • Flexibility: Helps in maintaining joint health and reducing muscle stiffness.
   • Body Composition: Indicates the balance of fat and muscle, which affects overall health.
