8. Cardio-Vascular Endurance
 The ability of the
heart and lungs to
provide energy for
the working
muscles over a
period of time.
 For example,
completing a long
distance race.

9. Muscular Endurance
 The ability of a
muscle or muscle
group to work
repeatedly over a
period of time.
 For example,
competing a rowing
race.

10. Strength
 The ability of a
muscle or muscle
group to apply a
force to overcome
a resistance. This
can be static or
dynamic.
 For example, lifting
a heavy weight.

11. Flexibility
 The range of
movement around a
joint.
 For example, doing
the splits in
gymnastics.

12. Body Type
 There are 3 body types:
endomorph (prop),
mesomorph (swimmer)
and ectomorph (high
jumper). Body type is
made up of body size
and composition.
 For example, jockeys
and darts players can
have very different
body types and both be
successful.

pace.
 For example,
goalkeeper diving
to save a shot.

15. Speed
 The ability to
perform a
movement quickly.
 For example, 100m
sprint.

16. Reaction Time
 The ability to
respond quickly to
stimuli.
 For example,
reacting to the gun
at the start of a
race.

17. Static Balance
 The ability to
maintain
equilibrium while
still.
 For example, a
handstand in
gymnastics.

18. Dynamic Balance
 The ability to
maintain
equilibrium while
moving.
 For example,
dribbling a football
at speed.

19. Co-ordination
 The ability to use
senses and body
parts to perform
motor skills
fluently and
accurately.
 For example,
catching the ball in
a lineout.

20. Power
 Speed times
strength.
 For example,
