AGILITY The ability to perform a series of explosive power movements in rapid succession in opposing directions (eg: zig-zag running or cutting movements). BALANCE The ability to control the body's position. FLEXIBILITY The ability to achieve an extended range of motion without being impeded by excess tissue. STRENGTH ENDURANCE A muscle's ability to perform a maximum contraction time after time. CO-ORDINATION The ability to integrate the above listed components so that effective movements are achieved.
