Question

Kylee is training to be an ice skater. She already has great cardiorespiratory endurance but wants to focus on some of the skill-related components of fitness. Define either balance or reaction time and then describe how it will enhance Kylee's skating abilities.

Answer 1

Reaction time can be defined as the time needed to elicit and reaction when a stimulus is presented.
Balance could be defined as the ability to maintain a common level above the ground faced with uncertain terrain.

Both of these could intensify and improve Kyle's ability to be an ice skater because he can, with a reduction in reaction times and better balance, look better and perform more difficult tasks while ice skating.
