Summary
This chapter explains physical fitness as the ability to carry out daily tasks with energy and alertness, without undue fatigue, and with enough reserve to enjoy leisure and meet emergencies. It describes the components of health-related fitness — cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body composition — and of skill-related fitness — speed, agility, balance, coordination, power and reaction time. Wellness is presented as a broader, positive state of well-being that includes physical, mental, emotional and social health. The chapter links fitness and wellness to lifestyle, showing how regular exercise, balanced diet, adequate rest, good posture and avoidance of harmful habits such as smoking promote health, while a sedentary lifestyle leads to problems like obesity and lifestyle diseases. It encourages students to adopt active, healthy routines and to view fitness not as a one-time goal but as a way of life that improves the quality and length of life.
