On spring Break I went to Eisenhower to practice baseball. I also watched a lot of TV. I sat home for a long time, and I played video games. Using what you learned last week and throughout the year, try to state what Health Related and Skill Related Fitness Components the fitness tests we have completed were testing you for. There can be more than one answer for each!

‍ 2. Skill Related - flexibility
Name the 5 __HEALTH RELATED FITNESS COMPONENTS__:

==‍Read the definitions of the __SKILL RELATED FITNESS COMPONENTS__ and give 2 activity examples of each.==

===‍//***There are many different answers that would be correct for all of these, but here are a few examples***//===

‍ 2. Speed Skating
==‍ __**Reaction Time**__ is how quickly your brain can respond to a stimulus (like the word “GO”) and initiate a response. ==

‍ 2. Track and Field
==‍ __**Agility**__ is being able to change your direction and the speed at which you are traveling quickly and efficiently. ==

‍ 2. Springboard Diving
==‍ __**Coordination**__ is the ability to use your body and your senses together to produce smooth efficient movements. ==

‍ 2.
==‍ __**Power**__ is the product of strength and speed and is being able to perform a task as quickly and as forcefully as we can. ==

‍
\osition = the amount of lean body mass compared to the amount of body fat.

‍ How do you think a person's body composition is tested?
==‍ ~ Body Composition is measured by calculating a person’s Body Mass Index (or BMI). Elementary students’ body composition is constantly changing due to rapid growth spurts, so children have a different BMI calculation table than adults. Calculating your BMI is generally something your doctor will do at a wellness check that you might not even be aware of to make sure that your body is healthy. ==

__ Correct your answers from the previous wiki assignment __. It might be easiest to just delete what you had already put, and copy and paste the entire section listed below. Remember, this will be used as a study guide for your end of the year Fitness Component test.

‍ Experiment:

 * ==‍ Move your arms in large circles going forward ==
 * ==‍ Now move them going backwards. ==

==‍ Your shoulder joint is called a BALL JOINT. All ball joints should have the same range of motion ability. ==

‍Answer the following questions:
Answer the questions below in FULL SENTENCES:
 * ==‍ Name another ball joint in your body. Another ball joint in your body is your wrists. ==
 * ==‍ Can you move it through its full range of motion similar to your shoulder joint? You can't move your wrists in it's full range of motion. ==
 * ==‍ In full sentences explain WHY it can or cannot move the same way. You can't move your wrists the same way as your shoulder because you have tendens and bones that restrict motion. Also you can move your shoulder all the way around in a circle. ==

===‍What is the definition of FLEXIBILITY? Flexibility is what you do to bend yourself or stretch, so your flexibility is your streching ability. ===

===‍Why is flexibility or stretching important? What are the benefits of doing these types of exercises? ===

If you don't strech before an activity you could hurt yourself. The benefit of streching is your muscels won't feel tight and you will feel ready to play.
===‍Please list 3 examples of physical activities that use flexibility: ===
