Understanding Skill-Related Fitness Components

Physical fitness involves both health-related and skill-related components. Health-related fitness promotes overall health and well-being through nutrition, exercise, and rest. Skill-related fitness includes six components - agility, balance, power, coordination, speed, and reaction time - that enhance sports performance. These skill components allow for rapid changes in body position, maintaining upright posture, strength and speed, integration of movements, swift body motions, and quick response to stimuli. Improving both health and skill-related fitness requires understanding one's baseline, setting goals, and working to advance levels in both areas through dedicated effort.
