- cardiovascular fitness
- muscular endurance
- muscular strength
- flexibility
- body composition
Cardiovascular fitness (health)
*The ability to work your whole body for a long time.
Muscular strength (health)
*The amount of force a muscle can exert against a resistance.
Muscular endurance (health)

- agility
- balance

Balance(skill)
*being able to keep the body stable while at rest or on the move
Static balance: keeping the body stable while stationary
Dynamic balance: maintaining a controlled, stable position while moving
Co-ordination(skill)

Reaction time(skill)
*the time between the stimulus and a movement in response to it
Speed(skill)
*the rate at which an individual can perform a movement or cover a distance
