Question

a baseball player has two strikes and has to keep fouling the ball off of his bat until he gets the right pitch. this player manages to make contact to foul 10 pitches in a row before getting a hit. which skill-related component of fitness does this most accurately demonstrate? (1 point)
○ balance
○ coordination
○ strength
○ flexibility

Explanation:

To determine the skill - related component of fitness, we analyze each option:

• Balance: It is about maintaining equilibrium. The baseball player's action of fouling pitches is not mainly about staying balanced.
• Coordination: This refers to the ability to use different body parts together smoothly and efficiently. The player needs to coordinate his bat, body, and eyes to make contact with 10 pitches in a row, which fits the definition of coordination.
• Strength: It is the ability to exert force. Fouling pitches in a row is not primarily about how much force the player can exert.
• Flexibility: It is about the range of motion in joints. The player's action here is not related to joint range of motion.

Answer:

B. coordination
