Which fitness component is described as strong movements performed at a certain speed?

• A. Balance
• B. Agility
• C. Power
• D. Speed

Answer: (C)

This item targets power—the ability to generate a large amount of force in a short time. Saying “strong movements performed at a certain speed” points to combining how hard you can push with how quickly you apply that push. Power is what you use when you explode upward in a vertical jump, burst off the starting line in a sprint, or throw with speed. It’s the blend of strength and speed, whereas speed alone is just moving quickly, balance is about stability, and agility is about changing direction efficiently. So the best fit is power.
