A health and Fitness Professional is my job to understand the terms and definitions that are common to this industry, as well as to keep abreast of the evolving trends. From my experience, I have found that a number of terms deserve a little more clarification of which they are granted.
Apart from clarifying the definition of health-related fitness, this article aims to shed light on some of the associated terms and to display their respective distinctions.
Is it just all in a name?
The fitness world seems to use the concept of health-related fitness as a principle of generic fitness – interchangeable with each other as “Physical Fitness”, “health and fitness” or simply “Fitness”.
While all of these terms can be included under the broad term health and physical fitness, individually they refer to different aspects – specific and generic. Unfortunately, references to these and other fitness-related terms are often vague, while consistency in its intended use is scant at best; there is a kind of “generally accepted” uses for them, but people often dependent on its own interpretation, and this can lead to confusion.
That said, does health-related fitness simply infer fitness in good health?
Not the todo.For that need to understand a little more behind these words of digesting the definition.
How the term health-related Physical Fitness come?
Is a good question. what one could probably ask what this concept is – we can not simply use the terms “Fitness” or “Physical fitness” “instead”? what for what health “the related”?
The main reason comes from the fact that most health and fitness terms are used inconsistently and often refer to different concepts or notions. After the 1996 United States (physical activity and health; report of the surgeon general), surgeon general report there was a movement to try and address the alarming rise of obesity levels public American. Standardization requires studies and initiatives among doctors, health professionals, and trainers’ aptitude to deal with the task at hand. Enter “Health-related physical Fitness”, a term working to address the health status among the public in general.
The definition of health-related fitness
According to the American College of sports medicine (ACSM), the principal authority in this field, ineffective with clear and subjective formulations, definitions as well as definitions containing terms which in turn requires defining, have contributed to confusing the term “Physical Fitness.”
There is no reliable guide to health and fitness professionals measure “Physical Fitness” because it defines the term has been so freely and inconsistently. Therefore, is that one must take into account the concept of health-related fitness. Therefore, the definition focuses on five components of fitness which refer to “good health“.These components are:
Cardiorespiratory Fitness Flexibilidad Fuerza body composition muscular Resistencia muscular or elsewhere, competition-related fitness components are:
The definition of fitness diseases emphasizes the difference between Physical Fitness and Athletic Fitness related health physics capacity. Your starting point is “health” of the nation in the U.S., often referred to as the “public health perspective”.In this regard, 5 health-related fitness components are more important than those related to the ability of Athletic (or related components ability).
While the concept of health-related fitness has a comprehensive partnership with “good health“, discusses the 5 components individually by health professionals to allow its measurement.
Now that we have a deeper understanding of the term, for what purpose it serves?
Continuing from where the definition left, the objective of measuring components of 5 is advising customers on their own particular fitness-related health and use data obtained from tests to designing proper exercise which can then be evaluated programs.
5 Components contribute evenly to compensate for comprehensive fitness-related health, which is of direct interest to the health of ordinary citizens that the concept is normative.En other word is a standard that allows for consistent enforcement.
Therefore, it is important for those working in the industry not to mistake “general physical fitness” fitness and health with “Health-related physical fitness.”
Finally, consider this distinction between physics and health fitness-related activities
Take regular physical exercise can improve overall Physical Fitness as well as related fitness salud. Sin embargo, total fitness is a generic term and up to the subjective, interpretation while health-related fitness can be evaluated.
The distinction therefore between these two terms, exists within the meaning of health-related Physical Fitness can be measured according to a set of rules established comparative.
This is where the “rubber hits the road”.the guidelines established by the ACSM allow health professionals to work with clients to assess and measure your response to exercise and prescribe a client adecuado. Progreso exercise programs, they can be monitored and adjusted when necessary in order to obtain the desired fitness goals.
