What is the definition of muscular endurance?
The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time
What are factors affecting muscular endurance?
- Sex
- Muscle fibre type
- Lactate tolerance (fatigue)
What are revelant VCAA aprroved fitness tests?
- Timed push-up test
- Timed sit-up test
What is the defintion of speed?
Is it the rate of motion (Distance/time)
- Ability to move the ody or part of the body from one point to another as quickly as possible
What are factors affecting speed?

The ability to change direction while maintaining balance
- Speed+Flexibility+dynamic balance
What are factors affecting agility?
- Muscle fibre type
- Reaction time
- Sex
- Age
- Flexibility
Agility requires speed

What is the definition of flexibility?
Is the range of motion around a joint
What is static and dynamic flexibility?
- Static flexibility is the range of motion possible when not moving
- Dynamic flexibility refers to the resistance to motion in a joint when movign
What are factors affecting flexibility?
- Specific sport and joint flexibility
- Somatotype
Endomorphs, Mesomorphs, Ectomorphs - Skin resistance
- Sex
- Type of joints
- Resting length of ligaments and joint capsule
- Age
- Warm-up
- Lenght of muscles at rest
- Bone
What are relevant VCAA approved fitness tests?
- Sit and reach test
- Shoulder and wrist test
What is the definition of balance?
Balance is maintaining equilibrium while stationary or moving
Dynamic balance: Involves keeping the body’s balance under control while moving
Static balance: Involves keeping the body’s balance under control while not moving
What are factors affecting balance?
- The mass of the object
- The centre of gravity
- The base of support
- The line of gravity
- Any issues with the ears
- Decreased muscle mass
What are relevant VCAA approved fitness tests?
There are none. Not required to know any.

The relative proportions of bone, muscle and fat within the body
- Lean tissue is composed of muscle, bone and organs
What are factors affecting body composition?
- Age
- Sex
- Genetics
- Diet and physical activity levels
What are relevant VCAA approved fitness tests for body composition?
- Body mass index (BMI)
- Waist circumference
What is the definition of coordination?
Coordination is the ability to use different parts of the body together smoothly and efficiently
- Comes from the interaction of the neural, muscular and skeletal body systems
What are factors affecting coordination?
- Skill level
- Stage of learning
- Practice
What are relevant VCAA approved fitness tests for coordination?
There are none. Not required to know any.
What is the definition of reaction time?
Reaction time is the time between a stimulus and the first response
- Average reaction time is 0.2
What are factors affecting reaction time?
- Environment
- Cues
- Stimulus
- Number of responses
