ACTIVITIES of general physical fitness activities, not only the theory but also practical. The
components of physical fitness are as follows:-
1.Strength- It is the ability of a person of the muscles to overcome resistance.
2. Speed - it means the ability to move the body as fast as possible, especially in running.
3. Endurance - this is the ability to sustain an activity long time.
4. Flexibility - it refers to the range of movements of joints.
5. Coordination - coordinative abilities mainly depend on the central nervous system.

Our accuracy, rhythm, flow and constancy depend on our coordinative abilities.
Certainly, exercise is the excellent way to improve our fitness and health. Games and
sports improve the functioning of circulatory system, digestive system, respiratory
