  2. Integrated fitness

  3. Endurance training

  4. Aerobic fitness

The correct answer is: Integrated fitness

Integrated fitness refers to a comprehensive approach to exercise that incorporates various forms of training including strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular conditioning into a single program. This systematic method is designed to address all components of fitness, allowing participants to progress in a balanced manner while improving overall health and performance. In integrated fitness training, different modalities are often blended together, making the program adaptable for individuals of various fitness levels. By focusing on a progressive system, participants can build strength, enhance endurance, and improve mobility over time, effectively developing a more rounded and functional fitness profile. This progressive nature is particularly beneficial for those looking to advance their fitness without overtraining specific muscle groups or skills, ensuring a well-rounded development and reducing the risk of injury.
