Q.Which is NOT a health related Physical Fitness component?

Physical fitness is organised into TWO families of components. Health-related fitness has five components — muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility, muscular strength and body composition. These are used daily, whether a person is a doctor, a farmer or a sportsperson, and relate directly to living a full, healthy life (e.g., moderate muscular strength prevents neck/back/knee pain, while a high amount of it improves performance in weightlifting, jumps and throws). Skill-related fitness has six components — agility, balance, coordination, reaction time, power and speed — and relates to performance in sports and certain jobs (e.g., agility matters in combat sports AND in a firefighter's job).

The key distinction: health-related fitness is used by EVERYONE, every day, often without consciously realising it, and improving it leads to a fuller, healthier life regardless of sporting ambition. Skill-related fitness (also called sports or motor fitness) is more specific and multi-dimensional, and a HIGHER level of health-related fitness is directly linked to better skill-related performance — they support each other rather than being separate tracks.

Of the eleven total components across both families, only speed and power exert force/motion in the shortest time (skill-related), while muscular strength and muscular endurance both concern a muscle's ability to exert force (one maximal and momentary, the other repeated over time) — these are the kinds of distinctions the chapter's exercises test when asking students to tell health-related and skill-related components apart.
