I have chosen tennis as I have been doing since I was 7 and I want to do at competitive level so I want to improve on all of these components of fitness’ as I need them to play tennis well at a high standard.

This is needed in tennis, as all body parts will be exercising during a match or just generally playing tennis.

The other component of fitness is agility. This can be defined as, the ability to change direction quickly whilst under control retaining the center mass above the base of support. I need agility as one needs to move quickly and efficiently to
