What is the ability to use the senses together with body parts during movement

Proprioception (or kinesthesia) is the sense though which we perceive the position and movement of our body, including our sense of equilibrium and balance, senses that depend on the notion of force (Jones, 2000).

Now that you have read part 1 (“Step 1: Understand the components of Health-related fitness” ) of our 2-parter, let’s proceed to learn how what skills you need for holistic physical fitness.

While crucial to individuals aiming to excel in sports/games, many components of skill-related physical fitness are relevant to everyone as the benefits extend to everyday living and functional movement.  It only has an indirect connection with health but it is assumed that people who possess skill-related fitness are more likely to engage in regular activity and thus have enhanced health-related fitness and a lower risk of disease.  

Whilst you can improve your base level of skill-related physical fitness, know that there may be a limit to how much you can excel in them as many skill-related fitness components are likely determined by heredity. 

  1. Agility Agility is the ability to rapidly change the position of the entire body in space with speed and accuracy. Being agile helps you be quick and nimble and increase your mind-body connection. Agility training also helps prevent injury as your body is trained to maintain proper posture and alignment when you move.

    Typically measured using a shuttle or zigzag run, agility tests commonly feature in screening tests for sports teams.

  2. Balance Have you ever had to stand on one leg or on a small stool?  Balance helps your body maintain equilibrium while stationary or moving. 

    Generally considered to be of two types - static and dynamic – balance is typically measured using a balance beam or tests that require holding a stationary posture after changing body positions. 

  3. Coordination Coordination is the ability to use the senses, such as sight and hearing, together with body parts in performing motor tasks smoothly and accurately. This is important in every aspect of daily activity, from riding a bike to cooking and work. 

    There are many different types of coordination and coordination tests include hand-eye or foot-eye coordination activities such as juggling, dribbling a ball or hitting an object. 

  4. Power A combination of strength and speed, power is the rate at which one can perform work. It has also been defined as the ability to exert muscle force quickly, which is why some experts consider it to be a combination of skill and health-related physical fitness. 

    There are many different types of power and power tests. Examples of power tests include shot-putting and vertical jumping. 

  5. Speed We are all familiar with what speed is – it is the ability to perform a movement within a short period of time e.g. running speed, swimming speed, speed of hand or foot movement. 

    Among athletes, a 40-meter dash is often used to measure speed. There are a wide variety of laboratory measures of speed that are highly specific to different body parts and different human movement activities.

  6. Reaction Time Reaction time relates to the time elapsed between stimulation and the beginning of the reaction to it, e.g. moving your foot from the accelerator to the brake pedal in an emergency to stop a car. 

    Like other measures of skill-related fitness, there are many different types of reaction time and many different tests available. Like speed, reaction time is considered to be a component of fitness that is greatly influenced by heredity.

So there you have it, a brief and concise round-up of the main health and skill-based components of physical fitness. Whilst there is so much more to each component if you delve into science behind them, we hope this article has given you a head start in crafting an appropriate training plan for yourself.  

To re-cap, start with your goal in mind e.g. is it to lose body fat, improve sport performance or to keep your body in top shape as you grow older. Next, incorporate the health-related components into your plan before moving on to the skill-related components.  Lastly, always ensure that you are working out in a safe and effective way.

Be consistent and never give up!

Proprioception (or kinesthesia) is the sense though which we perceive the position and movement of our body, including our sense of equilibrium and balance, senses that depend on the notion of force (Jones, 2000).

From: Psychology of Learning and Motivation, 2013

Coordination
Coordination: The ability to use one’s senses together with one’s body parts, or to use twoor more body parts together.

What do you call the ability of a muscle to exert a maximal force through a given range of motion?

Muscular strength is the maximum amount of force a muscle or muscle group~ exert. The pull-up test measures upper-body strength.

What is the body’s ability to perform at a rapid pace with strength and speed?

Power
Power-The ability to do strength performances at a rapid pace. 4. Agility-The ability to change position of your body quickly and to control your body’s movements.

Is the ability of the body’s circulatory and respiratory systems to supply fuel during sustained physical activity?

Cardiorespiratory endurance Cardio-respiratory endurance is the ability of the body’s circulatory and respiratory systems to supply fuel during sustained physical activity (USDHHS, 1996 as adapted from Corbin & Lindsey, 1994).

How do the five senses work together?

Your brain collects information, like smells and sounds, through your five senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Each sensor collects information about your surroundings and sends it to the brain. Then, your brain uses the information from your senses to help you understand the world around you.

What is the maximal ability of a muscle to generate force?

Muscular Strength
Muscular Strength: the ability of the muscles to exert a force. The maximum amount of force that a muscle can generate in a single effort. Muscular strength in the upper body is tested by the maximum bench press and the lower body by the maximum leg press.

What is the ratio of body fat to lean body tissue is called?

Body composition is the ratio between fat mass (body fat) and lean body mass (non-fat components).

How does the circulatory system and the respiratory system work together during exercise?

The cardio-respiratory system works together to get oxygen to the working muscles and remove carbon dioxide from the body. During exercise the muscles need more oxygen in order to contract and they produce more carbon dioxide as a waste product.

Is the ability of the circulatory system to supply oxygen to working muscles during exercise?

Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart, lungs and blood vessels to deliver oxygen to working muscles and tissues, as well as the ability of those muscles and tissues to utilize that oxygen over an extended period of time with moderate intensity.

How are the five senses relayed to the brain?

We have five traditional senses known as taste, smell, touch, hearing and sight. The stimuli from each sensing organ in the body is relayed to different parts of the brain through various pathways. Sensory information is transmitted from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system.

How are sensory information relayed to the brain?

The stimuli from each sensing organ in the body are relayed to different parts of the brain through various pathways. Sensory information is transmitted from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system.

What is the range of sound that humans can detect?

Humans can normally detect sounds within a range of 20 – 20,000 Hertz. Lower frequencies can be detected solely as vibrations through somatosensory receptors, and frequencies above this range cannot be detected but often can be perceived by animals.

Where does the perception of sound come from?

Hearing, also called audition, is the perception of sound. Sound is comprised of vibrations that are perceived by organs inside the ear through mechanoreceptors. Sound first travels into the ear canal and vibrates the eardrum.

Coordination is the ability to use the senses together with body parts during movement. For example, dribbling a basketball. Using hands and eyes together is called hand-eye coordination.

How do our senses work together?

We use our senses to gather and respond to information about our environment, which aids our survival. Each sense provides different information which is combined and interpreted by our brain. Which sense is dominant varies between different animals, as well as which is the most sensitive.
