Question

select the correct answer. harrison is a rugby player. during his matches, he starts, stops, and moves his body quickly in different directions with speed and accuracy. what type of skill is harrison exhibiting?
a. agility
b. balance
c. power
d. speed

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Agility is the ability to change body position quickly and accurately in different directions, which matches Harrison's actions (starts, stops, moves quickly in different directions with speed and accuracy).
• Option B: Balance is about maintaining equilibrium, not about quick directional changes, so this is incorrect.
• Option C: Power is related to force and work, not quick movements in directions, so incorrect.
• Option D: Speed is about how fast one moves in a straight line, but Harrison is moving in different directions (involving change of direction), so agility is more appropriate than just speed.

Answer:

A. agility
