In recent years it has become more usual to refer to health-related and performance
(skill)-related components of physical fitness (Caspersen et al.1985). The performance-related aspects of fitness are associated with athletic ability and are sometimes referred to as ‘motor fitness’. The components include agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time and speed. There is no evidence linking the development of such qualities to ‘health’ out-comes in the sense of risk for chronic disease. However, they may have more indirect or less tangible health benefits such as through the development of independence for older people. Generally speaking, though, they are separated from health-related components of fitness, and epidemiological evidence supports such a distinction (Dishman, Washburn and Heath 2004). The skill-related aspects of fitness are important, of course, for sport and other activ-ities relying on motor skills and abilities
