FITNESS - What are the six skill related components of physical fitness and their definition?






1.   Agility is the ability to change and control the direction
      and position 
of the body while maintaining a constant,
      rapid motion. For example, 
changing directions to hit a
      tennis ball. 

2.   Balance is the ability to control or stabilize the body
      when a person 
is standing still or moving. For example,
      in-line skating. 


3.   Coordination is the ability to use the senses together
      with body parts 
during movement. For example, 
      dribbling a basketball. Using hands and eyes together 
      is called hand-eye coordination. 

4.   Reaction Time is the ability to reach or respond quickly
      to what 
you hear, see, or feel. For example, an athlete
      quickly coming off the blocks early in a swimming or
      track relay, or stealing a base in 
baseball

5.   Speed is the ability to move your body or parts of your 
      body swiftly. Many sports rely on speed to gain
      advantage over your opponents. 
For example, a
      basketball player making a fast break to perform a
      layup, a tennis player moving forward to get to a drop
      shot, a football player out running the defense to receive
      a pass. 

6.   Power is the ability to move the body parts swiftly while
      applying the 
maximum force of the muscles. Power is a
      combination of both speed and muscular strength. For
      example, fullbacks in football muscling 
their way through
      other players and speeding to advance the ball
      and volleyball players getting up to the net and lifting
      their bodies high into the air.
