- It would almost seem as if the words "fitness" and "health" are
- interchangeable in some people's minds, and there is no doubt that a fit
- person has a better chance of being healthy. As defined by the American
- Physical Therapy Association "Fitness is an ongoing state of health whereby
- all systems of the body are conditioned to withstand physical stress and are
- able to perform at an optimum level without injury. And the better you
- understand the six elements of fitness (aerobic capacity, body structure, body
- composition, body balance, muscular flexibility, and muscular strength the
- greater your ability to attain a measure of fitness. You can obtain your
- first knowledge of these factors by reading the most instructive brochure
- "Fitness: A Way of Life" obtainable by sending your request along with a
- business size stamped self addressed envelope to Fitness, The American
- Physical Therapy Association, Dept. AB, 1111 North Fairfax Street, Alexandria,
- VA 22314. Not only will you learn a bit about fitness but also the role a
- physical therapist may play in helping you develop the program that best suits
- your individual needs.
