HURDLERS: Requisite Physical Fitness Components


Each athletic position or events within certain sports demand specific abilities and skills. For hurdlers to be successful, they must develop the following components of fitness:
  • Agility – the ability to quickly change directions. For most sports, this means moving left or right. For hurdlers, it means up and down movement (hurdling);
  • Coordination – the ability to combine simple movements into an efficient complex movement;
  • Flexibility – the ability to move joints through a full range of motion;
  • Muscular Endurance – the ability to execute movements repeatedly;
  • Muscular Strength – the ability to produce force;
  • Speed – the ability to move quickly from one point to another.
