The document discusses various aspects of the psychomotor domain that are tested, including:
1) Agility, balance, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance which involve physical movement, coordination, and motor skills.
2) Agility is the ability to change directions quickly while maintaining control. Balance involves maintaining equilibrium when stationary or moving. Flexibility refers to the range of motion of joints. Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart and lungs to provide oxygen during sustained activity.
3) The document then discusses testing muscular strength and power, with strength being the ability to overcome resistance and power being the maximum force applied in the shortest time.
3. AGILITY
- is the ability to move quickly and
change directions while maintaining
control and balance.
- Good agility requires a combination of
speed, acceleration, balance, power
and coordination, plus good reflexes.

5. BALANCE
• Balance is the ability to maintain equilibrium when
stationary or moving (i.e. not to fall over) through the
co-ordinated actions of our sensory functions (vision,
hearing).
• Balance comprises of static balance (the ability to
retain the centre of mass above the base of support in
a stationary position) and dynamic balance (the ability
to maintain balance under changing conditions of body
movement).

7. FLEXIBILITY
• Flexibility is the ability of each joint to
move through the available range of
motion for a specific joint.
Examples would be stretching individual muscles or
the ability to perform certain functional movements
such as the lunge.

9. CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE
• Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of
the heart and lungs to work together to
provide the needed oxygen and fuel to the
body during sustained workloads.
Examples would be jogging, cycling and
swimming.

12. MUSCULAR STRENGTH
AND ENDURANCE
• Muscular strength and endurance are often lumped together, but they are different things!
Muscular endurance is a term used todescribe an athlete’s ability to physically perform for longerperiods. So, good
muscular endurance is crucial for athletes whoprefer long-distance running, triathlons, and otherlengthy activities. It also
helps us get through the more taxing tasks in ourdaily lives, like climbing a big staircase.
Muscular strength, on the otherhand, refers to your muscles’ ability to work against resisting forces (like barbells). This also
applies to daily life; everything from moving equipment to carrying your ownchild requires muscular strength.

14. POWER
• Power refers to the maximum force a
muscle or muscle group can apply but in
the shortest period of time.
• In other words, it is the ability of muscles to
exert maximum force in the shortest amount
of time, like when you run or swim.
