The Vital Fundamentals for Optimal Function

COMPONENTS OF FITNESS

You are as fit as you are competent in each of these 10 skills

(Note: Body Composition is not a skill)

Improvements in Endurance, Stamina (cardiovascular fitness), Strength, and Flexibility come about through training. Whereas, improvements in Coordination, Agility, Balance, and Reaction time come about through practice.

Power and speed are adaptations of both training and practice.

Training refers to activity that improves performance through a measurable organic change in the body. Practice on the other hand, refers to activity that improves performance through changes in the nervous system.

At MANA i consider: Strength, Flexibility, Endurance, Mobility, and Stability—these are the building blocks that determine how well your body performs.

Ignoring any one of these can prevent your body from functioning at it's maximum potential.

COMMON PITFALL:

Many individuals focus on only one or two areas, such as lifting weights for strength or running on a treadmill for endurance. However, by fixating on these aspects alone, they often neglect other essential elements, unknowingly limiting their overall potential and increasing the risk of injury.

Let's dive deeper:

Strength: Lifting weights and building muscle is crucial, but it's just a piece of the puzzle. Relying solely on strength training neglects other important aspects of fitness.

Flexibility: Flexibility allows your body to move through a full range of motion, preventing stiffness and enhancing performance. A few minutes of stretching after a workout won't cut it—true flexibility requires consistent and targeted effort.

Endurance: Cardiovascular fitness and stamina play a significant role in your overall capabilities. However, solely focusing on endurance exercises, like running on a treadmill, can neglect other crucial areas.

Mobility: Mobility refers to the ability to move freely and effortlessly. It involves joint health, muscle flexibility, and proper body mechanics. Neglecting mobility can limit your range of motion and hinder functional movements.

Stability: Stability is the foundation that supports all movements. It involves core strength, balance, and coordination. Ignoring stability training can lead to compromised form, decreased control, and increased injury risk.

CONSIDER THESE SCENARIOS:

• After an intense hour of weightlifting, a mere two-minute stretch won't suffice to maintain flexibility. It takes a comprehensive approach to cover all aspects effectively.

• Neglecting mobility, for example, can hinder your body's ability to move freely and perform optimally.

Merely Strengthening specific muscles while leaving others weak is a recipe for potential injury and Subpar Performance!
