Over the coming days we’ll look at each of the ten recognised physical skills. These are:

cardiovascular/respiratory endurance,

stamina,

strength,

flexibility,

power,

speed,

coordination,

agility,

balance,

and accuracy.

 Everybody would look at this list and pick at least one if not more of these skills they would like to improve.

Remember “…improvements in endurance, stamina, strength, and flexibility come about through training. Training refers to activity that improves performance through a measurable organic change in the body. By contrast improvements in coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy come about through practice. Practice refers to activity that improves performance through changes in the nervous system. Power and speed are adaptations of both training and practice.” “What is Fitness?” Greg Glassman

So tomorrow we’ll start with a look at the first physical skill cardiovascular and respiratory endurance.

Stay tuned.
