Power The ability to exert a maximal force in as short a time as possible. LAB – examine equipment and technology for participants to use when taking part in sport and physical activity
Category Description Advantages Disadvantages
Reaction Time The time it takes to respond to a stimulus.
Clothing • Sports kit, waterproof clothing, training • Clothing to increase performance: improved - Accessibility due to cost
Body Composition The ratio of fat to fat-free mass in the body. Footwear clothing e.g. bibs thermoregulation, clothing designed to improve - Cost
• Footwear: trainers, studded boots, sport aerodynamics
Motor Skills The abilities required to perform complex muscle and nerve acts that produce movement. specific footwear • Footwear: sport specific new designs or
materials leading to better grip, rebound
Gross Motor Skills Large movements involving the use of large muscles.
Sport • Participant equipment: e.g. balls, rackets - New materials for lightness and strength (composite - Accessibility due to cost
Fine Motor Skills Small movements using smaller muscle groups. Specific Eq • Travel related equipment: e.g. kayak materials. E.g. tennis racket) - Cost
uipment: - Scoring equipment: e.g. goal posts - New designs to improve performance (e.g. golf driver
Hydration Maintaining adequate fluid levels in the body to ensure optimal performance and health. • Fitness training equipment: e.g. dumbbells – bigger head and more forgiving)

Nutritional Balance Consuming the right amounts of nutrients to support physical activity and overall health. Protection - Mouth guards, helmets, body protection, eye - Improved protection design, lighter weight, improved - Accessibility due to cost
and safety: protection, flotation devices, first aid equipment performance. E.g. shape of cycling helmets to be more - Cost
Cardiovascular The ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to working muscles during sustained physical activity. (bandages, ice packs, defibrillator) aerodynamic
