This level of physical skill-related fitness

technical parts of a wide reaction time, and speed.
range of sports.
SPEED
Speed is the maximum rate at which a person can
move or cover a distance in a certain amount of
time. Speed requires good strength and power,
but body weight and air resistance can affect a
person's speed.
AGILITY
Agility is the capacity to shift or change the
orientation of the body rapidly from one point
to another. A person who competes in track
and field exhibits a high level of agility.
BALANCE
Balance is the ability to keep your body in place,
whether you're standing still (static balance) or
moving (dynamic balance). People who do
gymnastics, yoga, and skiing as sports exhibit great
balance.
COORDINATION
Coordination is the ability to move in a way
that is smooth, accurate, and under control.
Coordination is a difficult skill that also
requires good balance, strength, and agility.
POWER
Power is the ability to perform
one maximum effort in the
shortest possible time. In other
words, it is the ability of your
muscles to use as much force as
possible in as little time as
possible, like when you run or
swim.
POWER
This component of skill-related
fitness has to do with cardiovascular
endurance. Strength and speed are
the two components that combine to
create power.
REACTION TIME
The term "reaction time"
refers to the rate at which an
athlete reacts to an external
stimuli.
REACTION TIME
Athletes can be exposed to
different stimuli when they play
sports. So, reaction time is very
crucial for any athlete. Whether a
player wins or loses in a sport is
usually decided in a matter of
milliseconds, and it all depends on
how fast the player can react.
To be an athlete is to be precise
and disciplined.
