Balance |
is the ability to remain in a state of static or dynamic equilibrium; skiers, horse-riders, gymnasts and surfers need good balance. |
|
|
Agility |
is the ability to start, stop and change body positions quickly without losing balance; trampolinists and dancers require agility skills. Games that involve dodging opponents also require agility, such as netball, basketball and hockey. |
|
|
Coordination |
is the ability to link a series of actions into a flowing movement pattern with appropriate timing and accuracy. Hand–eye coordination is vital to racquet sports; football players need to coordinate the placement of the ball onto the kicking foot; basketballers need to coordinate the timing of the release of the ball while making a jump shot. All sports need coordination skills. |

|
Reaction Time |
is the time that it takes for an athlete to respond to the signal that movement is required; for example, a sprinter’s reaction to the sound of the starting gun, or the time it takes for a soccer goalie to leap into action to save a goal. |
