Factors Affecting Skill-Related Fitness

Heredity Heredity relates to the physical characteristics we inherit from our parents. Some people are able to run fast or react quickly because they inherited these traits from their parents. It is possible to improve skill-related fitness by using special training techniques.

Maturation and Age Maturation: hormones affect physical growth and development. Some people mature (physically develop) earlier than others. Teens who mature early perform better on skill-related fitness tests than those who mature later.

Training With the right kind of training, you can improve your skill-related fitness. It takes time and motivation. It requires application of the principle of specificity. –You need to engage in specific training to improve a specific component of fitness.

Self-Assessment of Skill-Related Fitness First step in program planning is determining your needs. Identify your strengths and weaknesses: –Prioritize and set goals. –Choose specific activities for your personal fitness plan.
