  • What is flexibility?

    It is the range of motion available at a joint.
  • How is flexibility defined in terms of joint movement?
    It is the ability to move a joint through its complete range of motion (ROM).
  • What are examples of exercises that test flexibility?

    Sit and reach and shoulder stretch.
  • What is body composition?
    It is the percentage of fat tissue and lean tissue in the body.
  • How is body composition defined in terms of body mass?

    It is the amount of lean body mass compared with the amount of body fat.
  • What is an example of a measure for body composition?

  • What is balance?
    It is the ability to control the placement of the body’s center of gravity in relation to its support base.
  • How is balance defined in terms of equilibrium?
    It is the maintenance of equilibrium while stationary or moving.
  • What is an example of a test for balance?
    Stork balance test.
  • What is coordination?
    It is the ability to use the senses together with body parts in performing motor tasks smoothly and accurately.
  • How is coordination characterized?
    It is the ability to perform motor tasks smoothly and accurately.
  • What is an example of a test for coordination?
    Paper juggling.
  • What is power?
    It is the ability to transfer energy into force at a fast rate.
  • How is power defined in terms of muscular strength and speed?
    It is the combination of muscular strength and speed.
  • What is an example of a test for power?
    Standing long jump.
  • What is reaction time?

    It is the time elapsed between stimulation and the beginning of the response to it.
  • How is reaction time measured?
    It is measured by the time elapsed between stimulation and the beginning of the response.
  • What is an example of a test for reaction time?
    Stick drop test.
  • What is speed?

    It is the ability to perform a movement or cover a distance in a short period of time.

  • What are the fundamental body movements?
    • Movement: The act of maintaining or changing the position(s) of body part(s).
    • Fundamental Body Movement: A simple and basic movement for participating in physical activities (e.g., walking, running, jumping, catching).
    • They are the building blocks necessary for more complex physical activities.
