Physical Fitness and the Human Motoricity Researches: Dispute About Basic Construct is Still Actual
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2004, Vol 14, Issue 28
Abstract
The study highlights the relation between the concepts of physical fitness and human motoricity. It provides insight into the assumptions of the intensive research on the structure of human motor fitness carried out in Poland in recent years. That research and discussion was essential for the identity of Polish antropomotorics evolving into the research field and the academic teaching discipline. However, the issue of defining the basic categories was not raised then. Following the contemporary and main world tendencies the classification is based on the division between the components of health - related fitness and those which are performance – related. The physical fitness concept used as the basic category in Poland does not convey the essence of the English ‘physical fitness’ phrase. This results in some essential disputes over for example, the problem whether body composition components are an integral part of physical fitness or they just determine it.
