Which component refers to the quality of movement in sport skill?

• A. Consistency
• B. Decision-making
• C. Technique
• D. Speed

Answer: (C)

Technique refers to the quality of movement when performing a sport skill. It covers how the body is arranged (stance, grip, posture), how the movements are coordinated (timing, balance, control), and how efficient the action is. When technique is good, the movement is smooth and accurate, which helps you perform the skill effectively and can reduce the risk of injury. For example, a tennis forehand with the correct grip, stance, and swing path looks fluid and makes the ball go where intended. Consistency is about repeating results reliably, decision-making is about choosing what to do in a game, and speed is about how fast the action is performed, not the quality of the movement itself.
