Skateboarding is a very vigorous activity. Physical fitness is required to be able to ride and perform tricks on a skateboard without a high risk of getting injured. Riding a skateboard without having the necessary physical fitness to ride one can be very dangerous. I know people who have been injured skateboarding because they were not physically fit. The physical fitness that is needed for skateboarding is the same as the physical fitness needed for snowboarding, skiing, and surfing. There are also two types of physical fitness, general fitness and specific fitness. General fitness works toward overall goals of health and well-being. Specific fitness is more narrow goals of things like sport competition or military service.
