Components of Physical Fitness

Earlier I asked how to communicate about Physical Activity and Functional Ability. If we set aside "social", and "mind" and talk about "body", here is one way. It give 5 categories 1) cardiorespiratory endurance 2) muscular strength 3) muscular endurance 4) body composition and 5) flexibility.

Categories are about fitness, but "body composition" might be good for functional abilities too. I think that muscle coordination, kind of motoric ability should be there too. Our ability to control our body?

If these are the components that make our Physical Functional Ability? How do we keep our self's functional or get in better shape?
