General fitness focuses on overall health while specific fitness relates to the ability to perform certain sports or occupations. Physical fitness is achieved through correct nutrition, exercise, hygiene, and rest. It has both health-related and skill-related components that impact cardiovascular endurance, body composition, flexibility, strength, endurance, speed, agility, balance, coordination, reaction time and power.
