Question

(02.06 HC)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 is the time from the start of the stimulus to to the beginning of movement in reaction to the stimulus. Since she has high cardiorespiratory endurance there is a greater coordination in the working of her heart, muscles and lungs. This will help her to get a good reaction time and will increase her performance level.
