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

• A. Agility
• B. Endurance
• C. Flexibility
• D. Body composition

Answer: (A)

Agility is a skill-related component of fitness because it measures how well a person can rapidly change direction and adjust their body position in response to quickly changing conditions. This quality combines multiple motor abilities—balance, coordination, speed, and power—into a single, task-specific skill used in many sports and dynamic activities.

In contrast, endurance gauges the ability to sustain effort over time, flexibility assesses how much a joint’s range of motion allows, and body composition reflects the proportion of fat to lean tissue. These describe overall health and long-term function rather than performance in quick, coordinated movements.
