When we talk about fitness, which actually consists of many components. In general, the components of fitness can be classified into related health performance components related condition.
Health related fitness components are the components of the fundamental condition for assessing whether they are physically as examples of related components of physical fitness include body composition, cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance and flexibility.
Fitness components are more specific performance relating to the nature of the sports involved and some examples are power, speed, agility agility, balance, motor skills, etc. Some sports require a higher priority on other components of the particular condition, than the other, for example, runs long distance, cardiovascular endurance is of greater importance, whereas with the agility and power is not the main priority. This is important to take into account when designing the training program so that the correct components of fitness are well developed.
The following will now consider the different types of components fitness that are specific to Taichi. Taichi The main components of fitness involved are cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, balance, motor skills, agility and power.
Cardiovascular endurance is necessary for the continued practice of Taichi. Muscle strength and endurance also is necessary for the execution of controlled movements of the Taichi routines and also the strength to hold different types of weapons (sword, saber, spear, mimes, etc.). Flexibility is needed for different Taichi movements which require greater range of motion. Balance is also necessary for stability during the transition of movement and weight transfer. Agility and power are used in some of the faster and explosive movements, such as Chen style Taichi. Motor Skills are needed during Taichi movement of learning and implementing proper movement sequence to achieve hand and leg coordination.
After to understand the different components of fitness Taichi, we must realize that to perform well in Taichi and to benefit most from the practice of Taiji, which are components of fitness that we have to work during our physical preparation phase so that we can apply to our practice of Taichi. Very often, Taichi many professionals rely on practice Taichi routines alone to train all components of fitness of Taiji, which will take much longer to develop and even then the result will not be as effective and many components are still undeveloped or developing countries. Without all these components of the condition to be well developed, one will be difficult to meet the technical requirements in the Taichi routines and to benefit from a better quality of life of the practice of Taichi.
The next question would then be on how to train these specific Taichi components of fitness. It would take a program of adequate and systematic training, preferably under the guidance and training of well qualified Taichi coaches with sports knowledge and experience in the design as a specific component Taichi practice.
