Before I started to even design my personal exercise programme, I had to find out my general level of fitness. This is so as I can determine my individual strengths and weaknesses in order to know what I need to be focusing on in the PEP. The fitness tests chosen must be relevant to my sport. Overall fitness in every area is needed for tennis and therefore a variety of fitness tests need to be chosen as I can establish a base from which to determine training loads. The tests can also be used to evaluate whether or not my training programme was successful. The components of fitness are either health related, also known as physical fitness (health benefits maybe gained through improvements in these components), or skill related. Health related factors are physiologically based and determine the ability to meet the physical demands of an activity. Heath related factors include: * Strength * Speed * Cardio-respiratory endurance/aerobic capacity * Muscular endurance * Flexibility * Body composition Skill related factors, also known as motor fitness, are based on the neuromuscular system and determine how successful a particular skill can be performed. Skill related factors include: * Agility * Balance * Co-ordination * Reaction time * Power In tennis, all of the health and skill related components are required to determine a successful outcome. Therefore I need to

Justification of Fitness Components for Rounders.

Introduction Candidate's Name: Aisha Hussain Candidate's Centre Name: Slough Grammar School Candidate's Centre Number: 51427 The Chosen Activity on Which the Portfolio Will Focus: Rounders Declaration - this personal performance portfolio represents my own original work. Any information which I have obtained form other sources is acknowledged. Signed ............................. Table of Contents Anatomy and Physiology Justification of Fitness Components for Rounders Physical fitness is the ability to cope effectively with the stresses of everyday life and still have energy left over for emergencies. Fitness can contribute to a healthy lifestyle, but health and fitness are not the same thing. The level of fitness you require depends on your lifestyle. A relatively sedentary life only requires brisk walks to maintain your fitness level. However, if you play sport regularly, you have to train many times a week to maintain a high fitness level. Fitness consists of many components which fall into two categories: health-related fitness or motor/skill-related fitness. Health-related fitness is essential for everyone to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Motor/skill-related fitness is more important to the sports performer. Health-related fitness: - * Aerobic capacity (cardiovascular endurance) - the ability of an athlete to take in and use oxygen, allowing participation in
