The 10 Physical Skills of Fitness Excellence

Train all 10 physical skills of cardiorespiratory endurance, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, accuracy and toughness for physical fitness excellence... Not just one or two abilities creating unbalanced fitness performance.

Physical fitness excellence should be the goal of any physical training workout program.

Most physical fitness training programs are designed for the maximization of a particular physical attribute... size, strength, endurance, speed, etc.

It is this quest for maximization, this specialization, that leads to an imbalance in physical abilities.

To exhibit true physical fitness excellence, you must become a jack of all trades... and master of none.

The truth is, physical fitness is a compromise of 10 physical skills...

Cardiorespiratory Endurance
The ability of the body's systems to gather, process, deliver and sustain oxygen during a prolonged stressful effort or activity.

Strength
The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply force.

Flexibility
The ability to maximize the range of motion of a given joint or being able to bend or to be bent easily without breaking

Power
The ability of a muscular unit, or a combination of muscular units, to apply force in a minimum amount of time. Think of power as strength + speed.

Speed
The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement. In simple terms, how fast something moves.

Coordination
The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movement. For example, the ability to make your arms, legs and other body parts move in a controlled way.

Agility
The ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another. An agile person is able to change from one movement pattern to another quickly and easily.

Balance
The ability to control the placement of the bodies center of gravity in relation to its support base. In plain language, the ability to hold a position without falling over.

Accuracy
The ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity while remaining correct, exact or without mistakes.

Toughness
The physical and/or mental strength and determination to do something which might be difficult and which will take a long time.

...and each are important.

The greatest physical fitness improvement is made by training ALL of the physical skills, bringing them up to optimum levels... without maximizing any one attribute at the expense of all others.

I'll let you in on a little secret...

The key to exceeding your expectations lies not only with the training of these 10 physical skills... but also in how these skills interact, support and contribute to each other while performing an activity.

The 10 physical abilities are not something to be trained separately and used robotically... they are skills that must be trained in conjunction with one another and flow together flawlessly.

In other words... when you perform an activity, you are not going to say to yourself, "Now I will use my balance, now my speed and now my strength."

For Physical Fitness Excellence... the lines between the physical abilities will be blurred and seamless.

Many people settle in to training only a few physical attributes but still say they are seeking physical fitness... but they forget that physical fitness is a compromise.

Most likely... your physical fitness success will be tested in sport, work and life by your weakest physical abilities, and not your strengths.

Seek to improve your physical fitness by improving all of the abilities needed for physical fitness excellence.

How many physical skills is your current physical fitness training program improving?

Playful Training $154.53 This book questions whether the practice of martial arts in physical actor training encourages a physicality with its origins in masculinised regimentation. The training of the body of the actor in physical practices, historically connected with the martial and military sphere, assumes that disciplining methods can lead to a neutral, natural or universal body, which leaves out of account the question of cultural context and gender identity. The book examines key training methods theoretically and explores how actor training might resist such masculinised regimentation. It analyses physical exercises, derived from the martial and militaristic spheres, in wellestablished actor training approaches of the twentiethcentury. The book proposes an alternative training structure inspired by capoeira, an AfroBrazilian martial art.

Physical Fitness Training $32.87 On 5 July 1950, U.S. troops, who were unprepared for the physical demands of war, were sent to battle. The early days of the Korean war were nothing short of disastrous, as U.S. soldiers were routed by a poorly equipped, but well-trained, North Korean People's Army. As American soldiers withdrew, they left behind wounded comrades and valuable equipment their training had not adequately prepared them to carry heavy loads. The costly lessons learned by Task Force Smith in Korea are as important today as ever. If we fail to prepare our soldiers for their physically demanding wartime tasks, we are guilty of paying lip service to the principle of "Train as you fight." Our physical training programs must do more for our soldiers than just get them ready for the semiannual Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT). This book is directed at leaders who plan and conduct physical fitness training. It provides guidelines for developing programs which will improve and maintain physical fitness levels for all Army personnel. These programs will help leaders prepare their soldiers to meet the physical demands of war. This manual can also be used as a source book by all soldiers. The benefits to be derived from a good physical fitness program are many. It can reduce the number of soldiers on profile and sick call, invigorate training, and enhance productivity and mental alertness. A good physical fitness program also promotes team cohesion and combat survivability. It will improve soldiers' combat readiness.

At the end of each chapter, the reader completes a series of tests to assess overall improvement as compared to the results from the "Where are you now?" opener.

The book is designed to be accessible to all. It can be used by young and old alike.
