nine Basic physical abilities
Strength Factors
1. Dynamic strength: Ability to exert muscular force repeatedly or continuously over time
2. Trunk strength: Ability to exert muscular strength using the trunk (particularly abdominal) muscles
3. Static strength: Ability to exert force against external objects
4. Explosive strength: Ability to expend a maximum of energy in one or a series of explosive acts
Flexibility Factors
5. Extent flexibility: Ability to move the trunk and back muscles as far as possible
6. Dynamic flexibility: Ability to make rapid, repeated flexing movements
Other Factors
7. Body coordination: Ability to coordinate the simultaneous actions of different parts of the body
8. Balance: Ability to maintain equilibrium despite forces pulling off
balance
9. Stamina: Ability to continue maximum effort requiring prolonged
effort over time
