• What are physical capacities?
• Coordinating physical abilities
• Conditional physical abilities

We explain what and what are the physical capacities. In addition, the characteristics of the coordinative and conditional capacities.

Skills such as strength, coordination, and flexibility can be trained.

What are physical capacities?

The physical capabilities of the human being They are the set of elements that make up the physical condition and that intervene to a greater or lesser degree, when it comes to putting our motor skills into practice. That is, they are the internal conditions that each organism possesses to perform physical activities, and that can be improved through training and preparation.

We refer to capabilities such as flexibility, strength, endurance, speed, balance, timing, among others.

Although the physical capacities of an organism come from its geneticsMuch of its execution will have to do with practice and with physical condition, which is the general condition of preparation for physical exercise that a certain organism possesses.

Thus, a person with a genetic tendency to low resistance could train and overcome the limitations with which he was born, since his body responds to the practice. Physical capacities are classified into two types: coordinative and conditional, which we will see separately below.

Coordinating physical abilities

These are those that depend mainly on the control of the Central Nervous System on the musculature, since its execution depends on perceptual and analytical structures involved in the movement same.

For that reason, its execution is conscious and repetition may simply lead to fixing the movements required as desired. Examples of coordinative physical abilities are:

• The equilibrium
• The coordination
• The rhythm
• The orientation
• The reaction
• The adaptation

Conditional physical abilities

On the other hand, the conditional physical capacities depend on the energy efficiency of the metabolism, that is, of the body's ability to sustain the effort against the consumption of Energy available, so that they do not involve actions or conscious conditioning, but rather certain passive capacities. The following are examples of these physical capacities:

• The force
• The endurance
• The flexibility
• Speed
• The skill
