Answer 1

Agility

Explanation:

Agility is the ability to change the direction of the body rapidly and accurately at speed. It is also described as the ability to perform a successive series of powerful explosive movements quickly in opposing directions. Agility involves the application of explosive movements to change directions rapidly. It requires minimising the transition time between one movement pattern and another. Agility is measured by performing a timed shuttle run.
