physical capabilities that contribute to health, including cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.

the ability of the body to perform prolonged, large-muscle, dynamic exercise at moderate to high levels of intensity.

exercise intended specifically to improve cardiorespiratory endurance; usually involves prolonged, large-muscle, dynamic exercises.

the amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximum effort.

the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to remain contracted or to contract repeatedly for a long period of time.
