What are the 5 components of health?

Answer 1

When speaking of the five areas of health, these refer to:

*physical

*emotional

*mental

*Spiritual

*Social

Often, people erroneously use health synonymously with physical fitness. By reducing health to its physical component only, individuals negate the myriad of health disorders ranging from moral corruption to depression, antisocial disorder to cognitive decline, etc. The other four components of health contribute to wellness and longevity and should be addressed with the same care given to the physical components.

Alternatively, the following are the five areas of physical fitness.

* Cardiorespiratory (CR) endurance - the efficiency with which the body delivers oxygen and nutrients needed for muscular activity and transports waste products from the cells.

* Muscular strength - the greatest amount of force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a single effort.

* Muscular endurance - the ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated movements with a sub-maximal force for extended periods of times.

* Flexibility - the ability to move the joints or any group of joints through an entire, normal range of motion.

* Body composition - the percentage of body fat a person has in comparison to his or her total body mass.
