Posted on January 14, 2014 by john in Fitness tips

Fitness is the ability to perform physical efforts with vigor and effectiveness, delaying the onset of fatigue (tiredness) and preventing injuries. However, having a good physical condition is not to be a super athlete, but to develop physical skills and to successfully perform the physical activities in which they participate qualities.

Physical Condition of a person is determined by a number of factors : we are variable and may change, others are invariant and not allowed to be modified.

Invariant factors are, for example, our genetics, age or gender. In the same way that gives us a gene or another skin color, also conditions the quality of our muscles, bones, tendons, etc.. So some people are very flexible, some strong, some fast, some very coordinated… or just the opposite.

But let’s not forget the variable factors. Here we would have to talk about food, rest, hygiene… and, above all, training. Thus we will be modifying our physical condition.

Therefore it is possible for a person with a very good genetic load has poor physical condition because they do not care, or trains. Likewise, a person with a bad genetic load can have a good physical condition through training, perseverance and effort.

To conclude this section we highlight the importance of improving our physical condition because in this way :

- Physical activities are performed with less effort and better efficiency.

- Avoidance and prevent illness and injury.

- They enjoy and make friends.

To reflect a little, how do you think is your physical condition : good, fair or poor, why ? How can you improve your fitness ? What does living a active lifestyle ; put an example?
