- Stamina
- ability to sustain stressful physical exertion for a period of time
- e.g. long distance running, swimming
- ability to sustain stressful physical exertion for a period of time
- Muscular endurance
- the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to perform repetitive contractions over a period of time
- Strength
- Dynamic
- repeatedly applying force over a period of time
- e.g. reps when weight training
- Explosive
- the rapid contraction of muscle fibre units to achieve a maximum generation of force
- e.g. jumping, sprinting
- exerting a force in a short, sharp burst
- Static
- the holding of a limb or body part in a static/immobile position
- achieved by muscles maintaining a state of contraction or tension
- the holding of a limb or body part in a static/immobile position
- Dynamic
- Speed
- speed is achieved through the coordinated application of powerful, maximal, muscular contractions
- demonstrated by sprinter
- Power
- the application of maximal forces from muscular contractions as rapidly as possible
- e.g. spike in volleyball, smash in tennis
- Flexibility
- the ability of a limb or body part to show a wide range of movement
- the range of movement around a joint
- Stamina
