What does “physical fitness” mean to the therapist, coach or trainer and what does it mean to the client?
Communication and comprehension are both key components to the success of your client’s performance. Being bogged down with finding the absolute, perfect definition of “physical fitness” (a malleable term that will most likely evolve with time) is less important than explaining the rationale behind the why and how we test individual physical fitness.
Dr. Bo and I dig a bit deeper in part 2 of our Defining Fitness series. We discuss the primary components of physical fitness and why they are important.
___________
First of all, for a working definition of physical fitness, I use the capacity to perform work without injury.
Hopefully you'll see how this definition can apply to anyone --- the runner, dancer, drummer, Crossfitter, the construction worker--- anyone who moves and breathes.
With a working definition, I can now break physical fitness down to it’s bare bone, the essential components which I call them the 4 C’s of Physical Fitness (see full blog What Does Physical Fitness Mean to You and the 4 C’s of Fitness @ [hyperlink]
1. Competency (of movement)
2. Confidence (with movement)
3. Capacity (to do more movement)
4. Comprehension (of movement and physical fitness)
