BASIC PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES

We have an oral exam about the four basic physical attributes soon. Remember that you must learn the four definitions and practice the pronunciation since it is very important for the exam.

Here you have the four definitions from text book (Strategy 2, Ed. Teide)

• STAMINA: It is defined as the attribute that allows us to sustain physical exercise for a prolongued time and recover quickly after doing a physical activity.
• SPEED: It is the ability to perform one or several movements at maximum intensity in the shortest time possible.
• STRENGTH: It is the body's abilitiy to beat or overcome resistance using the tension produced in muscles by the contraction of muscle fibers.

Good luck!
