"Young people can be fit in different ways.
They can be strong like a weightlifter, or flexible like a gymnast, or skillful like a tennis player.
But not all of these types of fitness relate well to health.
The most important type of fitness for good health is cardiovascular fitness,
which is the ability to exercise vigorously for a long time :
like running multiple laps around an oval track.â€
