Answer 1

1. Cardiovascular Fitness: The ability of the circulatory system (heart and blood vessels) to supply oxygen to working muscles during exercise.
2. Body Composition: The relative percentage of body fat compared to lean body mass (muscle, bone, water,etc)
3. Flexibility: The range of movement possible at various joints.
4. Muscular strength: The amount of force that can be produced by a single contraction of a muscle
5. Muscular endurance: The ability of a muscle group to continue muscle movement over a length of time.

Skill Related Components: Those aspects of fitness which form the basis for successful sportor activity participation.

1. Speed: The ability to move quickly from one point to another in a straight line
2. Agility: The ability of the body to change direction quickly
3. Balance: The ability to maintain an upright posture while still or moving
4. Coordination: Integration with hand and/or foot movements with the input of the senses.
5. Reaction Time: Amount of time it takes to get moving.
6. Power: The ability to do strength work at an explosive pace.

Answer 2

Examples of body composition components include fat mass, muscle mass, bone density, and hydration level. These components collectively determine an individual's overall body composition and can be assessed through methods such as skinfold measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning. Balancing these components is important for overall health and physical performance.
