Is the physical ability that enables a person rapidly to change body position and direction in a precise manner

The ability to retain the centre of mass of the body above the base of support. It is the awareness of the body's position in space and depends upon coordination between the inner ear, brain, skeleton, and muscles.

The ability to perform smooth and accurate motor tasks, often involving the use of senses and a series of correlated muscular contractions that affect a range of joints and therefore relative limb and body positions

is a combination of strength & speed

The interval of time between the presentation of a stimulus and the initiation of the muscular response to that stimulus.

The maximum rate at which a person is able to move his/her body.

The distance moved per second

In physical performance it refers to the speed of coordinated joint actions and whole-body movements

The concept of describing the relative percentage of muscle, fat, and bone. This can be categorized by three extreme body types called "somatotypes" - everyone can be categorized as a mixture of these 3 extremes.

Ability of the body to transport oxygen to the working muscles during sustained exercise

A lean linear build with the appearance of long limbs with a low proportion of body fat and muscle

Broad shoulders, narrow hips, and a higher percentage of lean muscle mass

A rounded appearance, often pear shaped with a high proportion of body fat

The range of movement possible at a joint. It is affected by the type of joint and muscle attachment

Ability of the muscles to repeat movements without fatigue

The maximum force exerted by muscle groups during a sports movement

Performance-Related Fitness can be described as:

Identify specific fitness tests that would be valid for a long-distance runner

Identify - Provide an answer from a number of possibilities

Consider:

1. What components of fitness would be MOST relevant for this type of athlete?

2. What fitness test could be conducted to measure this component of fitness?
