TRAINING GUIDELINES

Exercise is one of the most important factors in the overall health of an individual. 

Listed among its benefits are:

• Increased capacity for physical work (strength endurance)

• Increased cardiovascular (heart and arteries/veins) and respiratory efficiency

• Decreased risk of coronary heart disease

• Changes in body metabolism, e.g. losing weight

• Delaying the physiological effects of age

• Reduction in stress, increase in self-confidence, etc.

There are several components of physical fitness and each is defined below.

STRENGTH

The capacity of a muscle to exert a force against resistance. Strength contributes to power and speed. 

MUSCULAR ENDURANCE

The capacity to exert a force repeatedly over a period of time, e.g. it is the muscular endurance of 

your legs to carry you 10 km without stopping.

FLEXIBILITY

The range of motion of your joints. Improving flexibility involves the stretching of muscles and 

tendons to maintain or increase suppleness, and it provides increased resistance to muscle injury or 

soreness.

CARDIO-RESPIRATORY ENDURANCE

The most essential component of physical fitness. It is the efficient functioning of the heart and 

lungs.

AEROBIC FITNESS 

Is an exercise of relatively low intensity and long duration, which depends primarily on the aerobic 

energy system. Aerobic means "with oxygen", and refers to the use of oxygen in the body's metabolic 

or energy-generating process. Many types of exercise are aerobic, and by definition are performed at 

moderate levels of intensity for extended periods of time.

ANAEROBIC TRAINING 

Is an exercise intense enough to trigger anaerobic metabolism. This means “without oxygen” and 

is the output of energy when the oxygen supply is insufficient to meet the body’s long term energy 

demands. (For example, a 100 meter sprint.)
