What are the Components of Motor Fitness?

Various components of motor fitness are as follows:

1. Agility (the ability to change the direction of the body).

2. Power

3. Reaction time.

Assessment

1. Quick Feet Test. Test for sports with multidirectional movement.

2. 7″ Drill Test: Test for sports with multidirectional movement.

3. Stork Stand Test: Balance test

4. Hexagonal Obstacle Agility Test: Test for sports with multidirectional movement.

5. Illinois Agility Run Test: Test for sports with multidirectional movement.

6. Lateral Change of Direction Test: Test for sports with multidirectional movement.

7. Power can be measured using EMG analysis, force platform; vertical jump and soft ball throw for distance.

8. Power [(Force x Distance)/Time] represents the product of strength and speed of movement expressed in watts. Where force is measured in Newton’s (1 kg = 10 N), the Distance in meters and time in seconds.

9. One watt = 0.73756 ft/lb/sec, 612 kg/m/min, 0.01433 K cal/min.

10. Heck discovered that the reaction time increase proportionality to the number of possible responses until a point at which the response time remains constant despite the increase in possible response (Hick’s law).

11. The reaction time can be measured using Ruler Drop Test.
