The Fantastic Four: Components of Physical Fitness

  • Heart and Lung Endurance: This is when your heart and lungs work together to help you play and exercise for a long time without getting too tired. That uncomfortable feeling when you are breathing heavily and sweating is your body telling you your lungs are growing to bring in more oxygen and your heart muscle is getting stronger to move more blood and that extra oxygen to your muscles.

  • Muscle Stamina: This is the ability to keep moving your muscles, over and over again. Ever think about holding a superhero pose for a long time? That's muscle stamina. It helps you keep going, even during tough challenges. It helps you go longer and longer. This is called stamina.

  • Flexibility (Stretching): Flexibility is like having the super-ability to bend and stretch your body with ease, just like a rubber band. It helps you move freely, stay balanced, and avoid injuries. The more flexible you are, the better you can perform in sports, dance, and everyday activities. It keeps your muscles  ready for action!
