Strength - the extent to which muscles can exert force by contracting
against resistance (holding or restraining an object or person)

Power - the ability to exert maximum muscular contraction instantly
in an explosive burst of movements (jumping or sprint starting)

Agility - the ability to perform a series of explosive power
movements in rapid succession in opposing directions (zigzag running or
cutting movements)

Balance - the ability to control the body's position, either
stationary (eg a handstand) or while moving (eg a gymnastics routine)

Flexibility - the ability to achieve an extended range of motion
without being impeded by excess tissue, ie fat or muscle (Executing a
leg split)

Local Muscle Endurance - a single muscle's ability to perform
sustained work (eg rowing or cycling)

Cardiovascular Endurance - the heart's ability to deliver blood to
working muscles and their ability to use it (eg running long distances)


Strength Endurance - a muscle's ability to perform a maximum
contraction time after time (continuous explosive rebounding through an
entire basketball game)

Co-ordination - the ability to integrate the above listed components
so that effective movements are achieved
