definition for the skill component balance
the ability to maintain centre of mass over a base of support
definition for the skill component coordination
the smooth flow of movement needed to perform a motor task efficiently and accuracy
definition for the skill component power
the product of strength and speed. expressed as the work done in a unit of time
definition for the skill component reaction time
the time taken fr a sports performer to respond to a stimulus and the initiation of their response
definition of the skill component agility
the ability of a sports performer to quickly and precisely move or change direction without losing balance or time
