group of muscles during a single all out contraction
MUSCULAR ENDURANCE

contractions at near maximum level over a length of time
FLEXIBILITY

As well as being physically fit for an activity, we
need to be able to perform the skills for the
activity.
For example in football it is crucial that you can
perform skills – often when tired.
The best players are not only just fit enough to
perform – they are fit enough to perform
skillfully.
These aspects of fitness are said to be skill
related.
