Fitness

Fitness means different things depending on what we define as the characteristics of being fit, and typically includes a number of physical states and abilities. Aerobic fitness is the ability to maintain an activity (such as jogging) for twenty minutes or more whilst keeping one.s heart rate between 60 and 80% of maximum. We have to be aerobically fit to perform repetitive work moving our bodies about such as in running, swimming or cycling and these activities, along with fast walking, can be used to increase fitness. Muscular fitness is the ability to muscle to exert force against resistance and divides into the abilities of strength and endurance.

Muscular fitness can be trained against resistance in the gym and this kind of training needs to be undertaken to some degree even by those who almost exclusively wish to be fitter in the aerobic sense. It can be argued that two more things need to be added to make ultimate fitness in a person, stretching and core stability. Stretching can be performed after an activity to maintain muscle length but should be avoided before as it may increase the likelihood of injury. Evidence for stretching being therapeutically useful is not very good.
