What is motor fitness

Some athletic coaches measure speed with a yard dash. Power is a combination of speed and muscular force. A football linebacker uses power to blast through a line of men. A gymnast uses power during a performance on the rings and uneven bars. Measure your power by throwing a heavy object or lifting weights. Reaction time measures how swiftly you interpret and then react to expected and unexpected events happening around you.

An example of reaction time to an expected event is the interim between hearing the starter's pistol and beginning to run. Your reaction time to unexpected events, such as a bicycle crash just ahead of you in a race, relies on how quickly you can make sense of the event and come to a decision about how to react to it.

Improving fitness involves a training regimen in all five. There are many different manifestations of fitness. Some examples include strength, stamina, speed, and flexibility.

An athlete needs to be aware of the various types of fitness to develop an effective training program that focuses on weak or important areas. Oxford Reference. Publications Pages Publications Pages.
