Day 5

 Skill Related Fitness: is the ability to perform successfully in various games and sports.  Includes: ▪ Agility ▪ Balance ▪ Coordination ▪ Power ▪ Reaction Time ▪ Speed

Agility is the ability to change direction quickly and accurately. Coordination is the ability to use the body and senses together to produce smooth efficient movements.

Reaction Time is how quickly your brain can respond to a stimulus and initiate a response. Balance is the ability to maintain equilibrium while stationary, or moving. Two different types of balance:  Static balance: the equilibrium is maintained in a FIXED POSITION, usually while standing on one foot.  Dynamic balance: the equilibrium must be maintained while performing a task which involves MOVEMENT (i.e. walking the beam).

Power is the product of strength and speed. When we perform a task as quickly and as forcefully as we can, the result is powerful. Speed is the quickness with which one can move the body from one point to another.  Most sports and activities require some form of speed.
