Agility

This can bee seen in most sports- a side step
in ruby, catching and passing on the move
Requires good body strength, fast reactions,
balance and coordination.
Testing

gymnastics or a skier weaving in and out of
slalom gates

* Remember some sports require good foot
eye coordination
* Research the Protocol:- Page 242
Reaction Time
“The time taken from the start of a
stimulus to the start of the response”
Reaction time is affected by how quickly an
individual can process information and the
speed of conduction through the motor
nerve
You can improve reaction time through
practise.
Examples…..

with heir thumb and finger that is dropped
