What Does It Mean To Be Fit?
(NC)-When we think of the word "fit," what comes to most people's
minds is strength and flexibility.
When exercise specialists
describe fitness, however,
they take five different categories
into consideration: body composition,
flexibility, muscular strength,
muscular endurance, and aerobic
fitness.
Body Composition refers to
how your body is made up -
your height relative to your
weight, the percentage of
fat relative to the percentage
of muscle.
Flexibility refers to your
range of motion - what's your
ability to bend in various
ways without doing yourself
harm.
Muscular Strength refers to
the greatest amount of force
a particular group of muscles
can produce - for example,
the greatest weight you are
capable of lifting just once.
Muscular Endurance is different.
It refers to your ability
to produce a moderate force
over a longer period of time.
An example is lifting half
of your maximum four times
per minute for a few minutes.
Aerobic Fitness is different
again. It refers to your body's
ability to perform low-intensity
tasks over a long period of
time.
When you injure your back
it's usually because you have
done something that requires
you to be fitter than you
are in one, or more, of these
various categories. So when
you think about becoming fitter,
try to consider your lifestyle
and the types of activities
you ask your body to do. For
