Cheat Sheet

  1. Distinguishing Health-Related vs Skill-Related Components -

    To identify which fitness component is not considered to be health-related, refer to ACSM's classification: health-related includes cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition, while skill-related includes agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time, and speed. Use the mnemonic "S.P.A.R.Q.B." (Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction time, Quickness, Balance) to recall the six skill-related components swiftly (source: ACSM).

  2. Cardiorespiratory Endurance & VO2 Max -

    Cardiorespiratory endurance measures the efficiency of the heart, lungs, and vessels during sustained activity and is health-related; VO2 max (mL·kg−1·min−1) is its gold standard. A rough field test is the Rockport walk test: VO2max ≈ 132.853 − (0.0769 × weight lbs) − (0.3877 × age) + (6.315 × gender factor) − (3.2649 × walk time min) − (0.1565 × heart rate) (source: American College of Sports Medicine).

  3. Muscular Strength vs Muscular Endurance -

    Muscular strength is the maximum force a muscle can generate (e.g., 1RM bench press), whereas muscular endurance is the ability to sustain repeated contractions (e.g., push-ups to fatigue); both are health-related. The Brzycki formula (1RM = weight ÷ (1.0278 − 0.0278 × reps)) estimates max strength from submaximal lifts (source: NSCA).

  4. Flexibility & Functional Range of Motion -

    Flexibility, a health-related component, reflects the range of motion around joints; the sit-and-reach test assesses hamstring and lower back flexibility. A target score for adults aged 20 - 29 is ≥22 inches (source: ACSM), and dynamic flexibility drills (e.g., leg swings) help improve joint health.

  5. Body Composition & BMI vs Direct Measures -

    Body composition (fat vs lean mass) is health-related; BMI (kg/m²) offers an accessible estimate but can misclassify muscular individuals. For precision, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans or skinfold calipers (using the Jackson-Pollock 3-site equation) provide more accurate percent body fat (source: NIH).
