Physical Fitness

 

The overall state of physical well-being characterized by the body’s ability to perform physical activities with vigor, strength, endurance, and flexibility, characterized by three components: sleep, diet, and exercise.

Central to Physical Fitness in the Comprehensive Fitness Model is the Performance Triad popularized by the US Army, a framework that optimizes physical performance and resilience. The triad consists of three factors: sleep, diet, and exercise. Deliberate attention to each of these has a direct impact on an individual’s overall health, performance, and quality of life. Consider this; approximately 50% of adults suffer from musculoskeletal conditions, 1 in 3 don get enough rest, only 24% meet minimum physical activity guidelines and over 16% of deaths are attributed to poor diet and physical inactivity.
