Athlete's Qualities

Strength Human strength is usually defined as the ability to overcome external resistance or to resist it by means of muscular effort. Depending on the type of work performed, muscles can exhibit strength without changing their length - this mode of operation is called static or isometric, and with a change in length - in a dynamic mode. When the length decreases, there is an overcoming, or myometric mode of operation, when lengthened - a yielding, or plyometric. Speed Speed ??is understood as a set of properties that characterize a person's speed abilities. Usually, elementary and complex forms of speed are distinguished. Elementary forms include: simple reaction time, single movement time, and frequency of single-joint movements. Complex forms of speed include: complex reaction time (reaction to a moving object and choice reactions) and frequency of multi-joint movements. It is known that speed manifestations are little dependent or not dependent at all on each other, this means that an athlete can have an excellent reaction, but move slowly over a distance, etc. Endurance The ability to perform work without changing its parameters (for example, without reducing the intensity, accuracy of movements, etc.) is called endurance. If the work being performed is non-specific, then the ability to perform it without changing the parameters is called general endurance, if the work is specific - special. Coordination abilities Dexterity Dexterity is understood, firstly, as the ability to master motor actions, and secondly, as the ability to rebuild motor activity in accordance with the requirements of a changing environment. Ability to relax There are three types of muscle tension: tonic, speed and coordination. Tonic muscle tension is noted with increased muscle tone at rest. Speed ??tension occurs at a high tempo of movement due to the fact that the muscle does not have time to relax. Coordination tension occurs as a result of increased muscle tension due to insufficiently perfect execution of technical techniques. Ability to maintain balance There are two types of balance: static, associated with maintaining a certain posture, and dynamic, associated with the ability to maintain a certain position, or quickly come to it under the influence of external factors. Spatial precision of movements The ability to accurately perform movements depends on the natural talent and general motor training of both an athlete and any person, and it is manifested in the ability to accurately differentiate the direction and speed of movement. Flexibility Flexibility is the ability to perform movements with a large amplitude. Flexibility is also the absolute range of motion in a joint or a number of joints, which is achieved in an instantaneous effort. There are three types of flexibility, each of which can be developed to a greater or lesser degree in a person: dynamic (kinetic) flexibility - the ability to perform dynamic movements in a joint with full amplitude, static-active flexibility - the ability to take and maintain a stretched position only by muscular effort, static-passive flexibility - the ability to take a stretched position and maintain it with your own weight, holding with your hands or with the help of equipment or a partner. Depending on what type of flexibility a person wants to develop, it is necessary to use different types of stretching.
