Components of fitness
Across
- 1. the ability to maintain centre of mass over a base of support, useful to maintain positions in performance sports (static balance) or when on the move in any other sporting situation (dynamic balance).
- 6. the ability to move two or more body parts at the same time smoothly and efficiently, to allow effective application of technique.
- 8. Sport involving repetitive strokes to propel a boat.
- 9. the relative ratio of fat mass to fat-free mass in the body allowing variation in body composition dependent on the sport.
- 10. Long-distance race requiring sustained cardiovascular effort.
- 12. Riding waves on a board, requiring stability.
- 13. Fast-paced game with rapid exchanges of a small ball.
- 16. Short-distance race demanding maximum velocity.
- 17. distance divided by time to reduce time taken to move the body or a body part in an event or game.
- 20. the ability of the muscular system to continue to contract at a light to moderate intensity to allow repetitive movements throughout a long event or game.
- 21. Competitive lifting of heavy weights.
Down
- 2. the ability to change direction quickly to allow performers to out-manoeuvre an opponent.
- 3. the ability of the cardiorespiratory system to supply oxygen and nutrients to the muscles to sustain low to medium intensity work to delay fatigue.
- 4. time the time taken between a stimulus and the start of a response, useful in fast-paced sports to make quick decisions about what to do.
- 5. Event involving throwing a heavy spherical object.
- 7. Team sport requiring quick directional changes.
- 11. Sport showcasing acrobatic manoeuvres and suppleness.
- 14. Racket sport demanding precise hand-eye synchronization.
- 15. the maximum force that can be generated by a muscle or muscle group to improve forceful movements within an activity.
- 18. the range of motion possible at a joint to allow improvements in technique.
- 19. the product of speed and strength to allow for explosive movements in sport.
