Physical Fitness Definition - Review
Now we're going to switch gears a little bit and talk about physical fitness, and I want you to remember that this is not the same as physical activity. If you're still unsure about the difference between these two terms, go back, listen to the commentary for Chapter 1 again. But as a review, physical fitness, again, is not a behavior, but rather a set of attributes or characteristics of a person that relates to their ability to perform specific tasks or specific physical activities. Over the next several slides, we'll introduce the two types of fitness, both health and skill-related. We'll talk about the components under each of these types.
