Aerobic endurance – also known as cardiovascular endurance and stamina, this is the ability work for a sustained period of time. Some examples of athletes that require good aerobic endurance would be a games player such as a midfielder in football or a centre in netball, as well as a long distance runner or swimmer. 2. Muscular endurance – this is the ability to perform against moderate resistance for a sustained amount of time. A good example of sports that require muscular endurance would be cycling or rowing where the performers have to repeatedly perform the same action whilst applying force. 3. Flexibility – this is the ability to allow a greater range of motion around the joints of the body. This is important in sports such as gymnastics or hurdling in athletics. Good flexibility is also vital for all sports performers to avoid injury. 4. Speed – this is defined by the equation distance travelled/time taken (m/s). There are 3 types of speed. Accelerative speed which is when a performer increases up to their top speed through 0 up to 30m. Pure speed which is when an event is just about speed such as 100m in athletics and 50m in swimming. Speed endurance which is the ability to use speed over a prolonged period of time with short recoveries. 5. Muscular Strength – which is the maximum force that a muscle can apply. Performers in weightlifting will require outstanding muscular strength but also sports like combat sports and rugby. 6. Body Composition – is the ratio of fat-free mass to fat mass in the body. Successful performers will generally have the desired body type for their sport. A gymnast or horse riding jockey need to be small and light, marathon runners tend to be really lean, whilst sumo wrestlers have a higher body fat percentage.
