Match the fitness component with its definition:

Aerobic Endurance
A measure of the greatest amount of force that muscles produce during a
single maximal effort.

Muscular Endurance The ability to move two or more body parts under control, smoothly and
efficiently.

The ability to stay upright or stay in control of body movement, and

Strength coordination is the ability to move two or more body parts under control,
smoothly and efficiently.

The ability of your muscle or muscle groups to withstand repeated contractions

Static Flexibility for an extended period.

If your muscles need to contract in a similar pattern more than once, you are
using muscular endurance.

Power The speed at which an athlete responds to an external stimulus

The ability to move quickly across the ground or move limbs rapidly to grab or
throw.
Speed

The body’s ability to sustain medium to high intensity physical exercise for
extended periods of time through the continual acquisition of oxygen.
Balance
It is a vital component of athletic performance in most forms of exercise and
sports. Aerobic endurance enables the body to maintain the blood and oxygen
supply required for a particular effort over a period of time.
Agility

The ability to exert a maximal force in as short a time as possible, as in

accelerating, jumping and throwing implements.
Coordination
A skill-related component of physical fitness that relates to the ability to rapidly
change the position of the entire body in space with speed and accuracy.

Reaction Time
The ability to assume extended positions and then maintain them using only
your weight, the support of your limbs, or some other apparatus (such as a
chair or a barre)
