What is the definition of Speed?
Distance time taken, measured in m/s. Faster an athlete runs over a given distance, the greater the speed.
What is the definition of Body Composition?
The relative ratio of fat mas to fat-free mass (vital organs, muscle, bone) in the body.
What is the definition of Flexibility?
Adequate range of motion in all joints of the body, being able to move a joint fluidly through its complete range of movement.
What is the definition of Muscular Strength?
Maximum Force (in Kg or N) that can be generated by a muscle or a muscle group.
What is the definition of Muscular Endurance?
The ability of the muscular system to work efficiently, where a muscle can continue contracting over a period of time against a light moderate fixed resistance load.
What is the definition of Aerobic Endurance?
The ability of the cardiorespiratory system to work especially for a long time.
What is the definition of Agility?
Ability of a sports performer to quickly + precisely, move or change direction without loosing balance or time.
What is the definition of Balance?
Ability to maintain centre of mass over a base of support.
What is the definition of Coordination?
Smooth flow of movements needed to perform a motor task accurately and efficiently.
What is the definition of Power?
The product of strength and speed expressed as the work done in a unit of time. A strong movement performed quickly.
What is the definition of Reaction Time?
The time taken for a sports performer to respond to a stimulus and the initiation of their response.
What are the 3 types of Speed?
Accelerative Speed (first 30 metres) Pure speed (60 metre sprints) Speed Endurance (sprints with short recovery period in- between)
What are the 2 types of Balance?
