lesson.
Agility
Agility is the ability to change
direction quickly and under
control.
Co-ordination
Co-ordination is the ability to combine at
the same time, movements of two or
more body parts.
For example – running to hit a tennis ball.

position, either stationary (eg, a
handstand) or while moving (eg,
kicking a football whilst on the move)

Question
Name 3 components of fitness and
describe, using examples, how they
are used in the video.
(6 marks)
Feedback
Using your green pen, mark your
partner’s work.
What was answered correctly and
how could they have scored more
marks?
Be as specific as you can!
Answering the Question
Make sure you name the component
AND give a specific example of it
being used in the video.
For example;
Ronaldo uses agility when he is doing
the zig zag sprint as he has to
change direction very quickly as he
would during a game of football.
What’s the Question?
Pick three words from the next slide.
They are answers to questions.
Your job is to create a question to go with it.
For example; Answer = Agility
Your question could be;
“Which component of fitness is the ability to
change direction quickly and under control?”
The question should NOT be “What rhymes with
ability?”
This task is a little harder than it seems!
