About Components of Fitness

GoConqr Original

What the resources cover

The unit splits fitness into two families. Health-related fitness covers aerobic or cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility and body composition. Skill-related fitness covers agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time and speed. The mind map 6 Skill Related Fitness (ABC PRS) sets out the second group with a definition for each part, while Health Related Fitness does the same for the first.

Where to start

  1. Open the mind map Components of Fitness. It links each component to a definition and a test, such as the Illinois Agility Test for agility.
  2. Move to Skill Related Fitness and Health Related Fitness to see each family on its own.
  3. Try the flashcard deck Components of Fitness and definitions to learn the key terms, including dynamic, explosive and static strength.

Exam-specific maps

If you are working towards a particular course, the list includes GCSE PE Revision, which covers warm-ups, stretching and cool-downs, and Unit 1 - BTEC Sport, which lists the aerobic endurance, muscular endurance, flexibility, speed endurance and muscular strength components. Resources also mention GCSE Physical Education, A-level Physical Education and A-level PE, so check which one matches your course.

Using maps and quizzes together

Read a map first, then cover it and write down what you remember. After that, use a quiz or a flashcard deck to check the gaps. The quiz Skill Related Fitness Quiz suits the second family, and the BYU quiz on cardiorespiratory fitness goes deeper into VO2 max and the heart and lungs. Teachers can set a map as a starter task and a quiz as a quick check.

Where it sits

This unit belongs to the Fitness, Training and Testing strand of Physical education and sport. It sits alongside the wider topics of training and testing, so the fitness tests and notes on VO2 max are useful follow-ups.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map Components of Fitness. It names each component, gives a short definition and links some of them to tests, such as the Illinois Agility Test. Once that feels familiar, move on to the separate health-related and skill-related maps for more detail.

What do the skill-related fitness maps cover?

They cover agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time and speed, often remembered as ABC PRS. The map 6 Skill Related Fitness (ABC PRS) gives a definition for each one, for example agility as changing body position quickly while staying in control.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it is worth checking them against your own course materials.

Which exams do these resources suit?

Most are secondary level, and the listed resources mention GCSE PE, GCSE Physical Education, BTEC Sport, BTEC, A-level Physical Education and A-level PE. There is a BTEC Sport revision flashcard deck and an AQA GCSE PE deck on components of fitness.

Can I make my own version if something is missing?

Yes. A free account lets you save quiz scores and build your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. That is handy if your course uses a different test or a set of terms that the listed resources leave out.
