Skill-related components of physical fitness

There are six skill-related fitness components: agility, balance, coordination, speed, power, and reaction time. Skilled athletes typically excel in all six areas. Agility is the ability to change and control the direction and position of the body while maintaining a constant, rapid motion.

To improve your coordination, try exercises such as:

• Playing catch.
• Jumping rope.
• Juggling.
• Dribbling a ball.
• Throwing objects at specific targets.

• power.
• speed.
• agility.
• coordination.
• balance.
• reaction time.

Daily chores like cleaning your house, mowing the lawn, cleaning the car, shopping for food and other things are all examples of moderate exercise, which helps improve health and fitness. Any type of movement leads to additional calories burned, so absolutely, housework is considered exercise.

For its part, the American Heart Association counts housework as moderate exercise. “You’d have to do four hours a day of it if you were training for a marathon,” jokes Press. No one disputes that doing chores can burn calories.

Household physical activity (HPA) such as washing clothes by hand, cleaning, dish-washing and gardening could also contribute to achieving recommended level of PA.

Another big benefit that you can get from doing jumping jacks on a daily basis is that they can help you lose a pretty serious amount of weight. Doing a lot of jumping jacks for a prolonged period of time will definitely burn some calories. Try doing a few hundred jumping jacks.
