Performance Attributes
- SPEED - POWER - AGILITY - QUICKNESS - ENDURANCE -
SPEED - is the quickness of movement of a limb, whether this is the legs of a runner or the arm of the shot putter. Speed is an integral part of every sport and can be expressed as any one of, or combination of, the following: maximum speed, elastic strength (power) and speed endurance.

POWER - is the ability to exert a maximal force in as short a time as possible, as in accelerating, jumping and throwing implements. While strength is the maximal force you can apply against a load, power is proportional to the speed at which you can apply this maximal force.

QUICKNESS - is defined as rapid reaction and movement time in relation to a given stimulus. Training for quickness is not the same as training for absolute speed. Quickness relies heavily on immediate movement reactions therefore we can think of quickness as the first phase of speed.

ENDURANCE
There are two kinds of endurance:
MUSCULAR ENDURANCE - is the duration in which your muscles can continue to exert excessive amounts force for extended periods of time. The The feeling of heaviness and weakness means your muscles are fatiguing. Muscular endurance can be increased through weight training.

CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE - is the duration in which your heart and lungs can keep your muscles supplied with oxygen throughout exercise. The harder your muscles work the more oxygen they need, so the heart and breathing rates increase. The better your CV system is, the slower your heart rate is because you pump more blood with each beat. You can improve your CV endurance through aerobic training
