From my A-Level PE days, fitness is specific for the task - a fat-arsed taxi driver is fit..........for taxi driving.....seriously, this is one of the examples they used on the syllabus because it highlights that it's task specific - it's a common misunderstanding what 'fitness' is and that some people are fit and others are not, a marathon runner is shite at the 110m hurdles and vice versa, but they are both fit for their chosen sports

A high power to weight ratio with the ability to recover quickly.

vo2 max isnt a great measure of fitness. It only measures your cardiovascular system. A good definition of fitness would be something like: a sustained but maximal level of effort over a given period measuring different physical attributes (power, cv, recovery). Or something like that??..

Fitness is a measure of one's ability to overcome whatever physical challenges present themselves.

From what I've been reading, that idea of the taxi driver & about being specific to task is no longer in favour.Surf - power or strength? The two, I belive, have different meanings.
"Muscular strength, is the ability of a person to exert force on physical objects using muscles"
"Power is timed rate of work done by a human"See why it's something of a minefield?!
