'''Physical fitness''' is the ability to be physically active. A person is physically fit if he or she can pass tests designed to measure physical performance. Such tests are necessary for some occupations, such as soldiers and firefighters. 

Physical fitness has two components: '''general fitness''' (a state of health and well-being) and '''specific fitness''' (the ability to perform specific aspects of sports or occupations).
