Abstract: 
People in general have access to guidance on body care and health via media, market and exchanges made on social networks, especially. However, much of what comes to them is abbreviated information, when not wrong guidance. The aim of this study was to systematize the components of health-related physical fitness and make them accessible to people seeking physical activities in the context of leisure. Health-related physical fitness refers to the physical condition in capabilities that bring implications for the quality of life of the population being such components the flexibility, aerobic resistance, strength, and body composition. The aptitude related to sports performance is associated beyond the above capacities, agility, speed, postural balance, and motor coordination.
