Lecture Notes

The final two components of skill-related fitness are pictured here on the slide in the picture of the track start, and they're also described here. The first is reaction time: how quickly can someone react to a stimulus? So the example here, when the gun goes off in the track start, how quickly do the runners initiate that first movement? And the second thing that you can see in the picture is speed. These gentlemen in the picture are obviously trying to move quickly from one point to another, which is an example of speed.
