8. At the paintball field, Wynonna is always the first one on her team to be hit with the paintball and put out of the game. She notices that the paintball strikes her nearly all the time when she is moving between bunkers, even though she is a fast runner. Using her knowledge of skill-related fitness components, Wynonna can expand her time in the game by improving her
agility. ***

9. Hoping to become better at stealing bases for his school’s baseball team, Carlos asks his coach for suggestions on an off-season training program. His coach suggests participating on the track team and, specifically, in the 60 yard dash. Why would working on his 60 yard dash help him in his base stealing technique?
Carlos will be able to predict when slower pitches will be thrown.
Greater agility is a benefit from sprinting practice.
His reaction time and speed will likely get better.***
Track practice will improve his sliding ability.
10. Two 14-year-old competitive dancers are excited about the upcoming state championships. Their routine has a lot of moves packed into a two minute song the partners execute together. The routine has them covering all four corners of the dance floor in that short time period. The dancers can expand the distance covered in a short period of time by improving their
agility to transition between individual dance moves.***

power to execute higher jumps.
upper body flexibility for wider arm circles.
11. Claire would like to improve her reaction time in order to get quicker at deflecting punches in her martial arts class. Claire can best develop her reaction time for this type of activity by practicing
combination blocks on her own.

7. To determine the skill-related component that involves the ability to combine strength and speed while moving, we can evaluate the given options and their definitions:
- Balance: the ability to maintain equilibrium while stationary or moving.
- Coordination: the ability to smoothly combine different movements into a single pattern.
- Power: the ability to exert maximum force in the shortest possible time.
- Speed: the ability to perform movements in a quick period of time.
Based on these definitions, the skill-related component that best fits the description is coordination, as it involves successfully combining both strength and speed while moving.
8. To improve her chances of staying longer in the game and minimize being hit with a paintball, Wynonna needs to focus on the skill-related fitness component that will benefit her. Evaluating the given options and their definitions, we find:
- Agility: the ability to change direction quickly and maintain balance while moving.
- Balance: the ability to maintain equilibrium.
- Flexibility: the range of motion at a joint.
- Power: the ability to exert maximum force in the shortest possible time.
Since Wynonna is having trouble when moving between bunkers and being hit with paintballs, the skill-related fitness component she should focus on is agility. Improving her agility will help her change direction quickly and maintain balance, making it harder for opponents to hit her.
9. Carlos wants to improve his base stealing technique for his school's baseball team. Evaluating the given options, we have:
- Carlos will be able to predict when slower pitches will be thrown.
- Greater agility is a benefit from sprinting practice.
- His reaction time and speed will likely get better.
- Track practice will improve his sliding ability.
Out of these options, the one that directly addresses base stealing technique is his reaction time and speed getting better. By participating in the 60 yard dash in track practice, Carlos will work on accelerating quickly, which will improve his ability to react promptly and increase his overall speed when stealing bases.
10. The two competitive dancers want to improve the distance they cover in a short period of time. Looking at the given options:
- Agility to transition between individual dance moves.
- Muscular strength to support shoulder lifts.
- Power to execute higher jumps.
- Upper body flexibility for wider arm circles.
Since they want to cover more distance in a short period of time, the skill-related fitness component they should focus on is agility to transition between individual dance moves. Improving their agility will help them move quickly and smoothly from one move to the next, allowing them to cover more ground within the given time frame.
11. Claire wants to improve her reaction time for deflecting punches in her martial arts class. Evaluating the given options:
- Combination blocks on her own.
- Combination blocks with a punching partner.
- Weight training skills.
- Yoga poses and skills.
The best way for Claire to develop her reaction time for deflecting punches is by practicing combination blocks with a punching partner. This will simulate real-life situations where she has to react quickly to incoming punches, allowing her to improve her reflexes and timing.
