Physical fitness is used in two close
meanings: general fitness (a state of health and well-being) and specific
fitness (a task-oriented definition based on the ability to perform specific
aspects of sports or occupations).
Physical fitness is the capacity of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, and muscles
to function at optimum efficiency. In previous years, fitness was defined as the
capacity to carry out the day’s activities without undue fatigue. Automation
increased leisure time, and changes in lifestyles following the industrial
revolution meant this criterion was no longer sufficient. Optimum efficiency is
the key. Physical fitness is now defined as the body’s ability to function
efficiently and effectively in work and leisure activities, to be healthy, to
resist hypokinetic diseases, and to meet emergency situations. Fitness can also
be divided into five categories aerobic fitness, muscular strength, muscular
endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
