Which of the following is a skill-related component of fitness?

• A. Agility
• B. Cardiovascular endurance
• C. Flexibility
• D. Muscle endurance

Answer: (A)

Skill-related fitness components are the abilities that help you perform tasks requiring quick, coordinated movements. Among the options, agility is the skill-related component. Agility is the capacity to move quickly and change direction with control, which depends on a combination of balance, coordination, speed, and power—essential for dynamic actions like dodging, cutting, or moving efficiently in changing environments.

The other options describe health-related components: cardiovascular endurance is about sustaining aerobic activity over time; flexibility concerns the range of motion around joints; muscle endurance is the ability of muscles to perform repeated contractions. While important, these describe general health rather than the specific skilled ability to move with rapid, precise changes in direction.
