EXPLORING DYNAMIC LEADERSHIP IN SELF-HELP GROUPS: UNVEILING THE CATALYSTS OF EMPOWERMENT

The norms are values considered to be representation of a specified population. Norms are usually based on age, grade, height, weight or various combinations of these characteristics. There are five components of physical fitness: (1) body composition, (2) flexibility, (3) muscular strength, (4) muscular endurance, and (5) cardiorespiratory endurance. A well-balanced exercise program should include activities that address all of the health-related components of fitness. Fitness norms show us how we rank in comparison to others within the same age-group and gender. They tell us our percentile ranking and fitness category. There is nothing wrong with using normative data to show people where they rank as compared to their peers; this is very informative. All adults should undertake 150–300 min of moderate-intensity, or 75–150 min of vigorous-intensity physical activity, or some equivalent combination of moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity, per week.
