Strength - the extent to which
muscles can exert force by contracting against resistance (holding or
restraining an object or person) |
|
Power - the ability to exert
maximum muscular contraction instantly in an explosive burst of
movements (Jumping or sprint starting) |
|
Agility - the ability to
perform a series of explosive power movements in rapid succession in
opposing directions (ZigZag running or cutting movements) |
|
Balance - the ability to
control the body's position, either stationary (e.g. a handstand) or
while moving (e.g. a gymnastics stunt) |
|
Flexibility - the ability to
achieve an extended range of motion without being impeded by excess
tissue, i.e. fat or muscle (Executing a leg split) |
|
Local Muscle Endurance - a
single muscle's ability to perform sustained work (Rowing or cycling) |
|
Cardiovascular Endurance - the
heart's ability to deliver blood to working muscles and their ability
to use it (Running long distances) |
|
Strength Endurance - a
muscle's ability to perform a maximum contracture time after time
(Continuous explosive rebounding through an entire basketball game) |
|
Co-ordination - the ability to
integrate the above listed components so that effective movements are
achieved. |
