The notion of physical fitness is used in two close meanings.
General fitness[ترمیم]
In its most general meaning, physical fitness is a general state of good physical health. A physically handicapped person's body may be physically fit (healthy), though its ability is likely to be less than optimum.
Physical fitness is usually a result of regular physical activity and proper nutrition.
Physical fitness can be divided into different areas, including:
The government Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans say to aim for at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of aerobic activity that requires moderate effort each week.
Task-oriented fitness[ترمیم]
A person may be said to be physically fit to perform a particular task with a reasonable efficiency, for example, fit for military service.
Military-style[ترمیم]
In recent years, Military-style fitness training programs have become increasingly popular among civilians. Courses are available all over the ریاستہائے متحدہ امریکا and یورپ.
These courses always have some common elements. They often focus on military style calisthenics and group runs. The courses are often held very early in the morning and will meet in almost any weather. Students can expect push-ups, sit-ups, pullups, and jumping jacks, as well as more obscure drills such as flutter kicks, sun worshippers and flares. Almost invariably a workout will include short runs while longer runs are more scheduled. Special forces are commonly renowned for their level of fitness and intensity of their workouts.
