Physical Education Components of Skill-Related Fitness

1
Physical EducationComponents of Skill-Related
Fitness
2
Task

• Define the terms
• Cardiovascular
• Muscular strength
• Muscular endurance
• Flexibility
• Body composition
• Know these inside out, ready for next exam!

3
Agility
The ability to change the position of the body
quickly and to control the movement of the whole
body
4
Agility

• Changing direction at speed
• Does not necessarily mean moving at
• speed
• Involves moving the body in different
• directions at speed

5
Balance
The ability to retain the centre of mass
(gravity) of the body above the base of support
with static or dynamic conditions of movement.
6
Balance

• Can be at rest or on the move
• Static balance is keeping the body still
• whilst stationary, e.g. a handstand
• Dynamic balance is maintaining a
• controlled stable condition whilst moving,
• e.g. basketball

7
Coordination
The ability to use two or more body parts together
8
Coordination

• Different types of coordination
• Hand-eye coordination (cricket,
• tennis, goalkeeper, etc.)
• Foot eye coordination (football,
• sprinting, skateboarding, etc.)

9
Power
The ability to undertake strength performance
quickly. Power Strength x Speed
10
Power

• Increases as a result of an increase in
• strength and speed
• Athletes use power to propel
• themselves and objects in a certain
• distance
• Do not get confused with muscular
• strength

11
Reaction Time
The time between the presentation of stimulus and
the onset of movement
12
Reaction Time

• Sight stimulus is the reaction in most
• sports (football, cricket, netball, etc.)
• It is possible to measure reactions
• and improve them through practise
• Anticipation from experience can also
• help reaction time

13
Speed
The rate at which a movement is performed or
distance is covered in a period of time
14
Speed

• Leg speed, e.g. Usain Bolt
• Arm speed, e.g. David Haye
• Speed of mind, e.g. Chong Wei Lee
• Can be improved with practise

15
Learning Objectives (Revisited)

• By the end of this lesson pupils should
• Recap health-related components of exercise
• and be able to use sports as examples
• Understand the components of skill-related
• exercise
• Be able to relate all these components to
• different physical activities
