developed through proper training.

the greatest possible velocity.

minimum time. Movement speed is of high
relevance in cyclic sports e.g. jumping, throwing,
kicking etc.

3. Acceleration Speed:
It is the ability to increase speed from minimum
to maximum. This form of speed, to a great
extent, depends upon explosive strength,
frequency of movement and technique.
 Endurance

2. Aerobic Endurance or Long-term

Endurance: It is the ability to carry on
physical activities with a supply of oxygen for
energy production even when the body is
under condition of fatigue. This endurance is
helpful when the activity is done for longer
duration and the intensity or speed is slower.
