Skill-related Fitness

According to the presentation, skill-related fitness CANNOT be improved by
__________. - answerheredity

Explain the role that heredity plays in skill-related fitness. - answerHeredity controls
some aspects of inborn skill-related fitness and is described as natural ability. While
these inherited traits have an impact on skill-related fitness, the extent of their influence
is difficult to measure. Between practice and specific training, the components of skill-
related fitness limited by heredity can still be improved.

Explain why the wall test is best considered a coordination test. - answerThe wall test
involves throwing a ball against a wall with one hand and catching it with the opposite
hand as it bounces back. It measures the ability of using different body parts in
conjunction with one another. While reaction time is somewhat a factor, it is a repetitive,
pattern behavior test that makes good coordination a more important factor than agility,
power, or speed.

Explain what distinguishes agility from balance and coordination. - answerAgility,
balance, and coordination each refer to different fitness skills. Agility refers to the ability
of executing rapid changes in any direction. Balance refers to the ability of moving while
remaining upright. These two skills are related, but still distinct. Dodging back-and-forth
in a sports game is an example of good agility, while moving around without slipping or
falling is an example of good balance. Coordination, meanwhile, is the ability of using
different body parts together in concert. An example of coordination is running down the
length of a football field while passing the ball to another player.

The BEST type of test for assessing skill-related fitness depends on __________. -
answerwhich skill is being tested

Which of the following statements BEST describes the sprint test? - answerThe runner
should sprint as fast as possible to the finish line.

Explain how specificity plays a role in high-performance sports. - answerWhile the
various components of skill-related fitness are interrelated, specific training can target
particular skills for improvement. General levels of skill-related fitness are important for
all sports, but some high-performance sports require a high level of fitness with a
specific skill. By targeting the improvement of the particular skill required, specificity can
be used to improve performance in the desired sport.

The time it takes to move in response to a stimulus is called __________. -
answerreaction time
