Why do you need coordination in running?

Answer 1

Without coordination, you would fall over all the time. for example just imagine a gymnast on the balance beam doing a backflip with no coordination and falling on her head. Not a very good routine and a very bad headache.

Answer 2

you need coordination in sprinting because coordination is basically

Coordination is the ability to repeatedly execute a sequence of movements smoothly and accurately. This may involve the senses, muscular contractions and joint movements.

Answer 3

First of all the athlete is running at full speed. Said athlete must have stride in place to take off from the triple jump board. It then involves taking a hop, skip and jump.

Once the board is hit, only one foot can touch the ground until the final landing.

Answer 4

Here are some reasons that in soccer, to play well you need coordination, not just toe balling into nowhere.

First off, do you know how hard it is to get off a good shot at the goal when two are knocking you off the ball, especially if they're good defenders? It is nearly impossible. You need great speed to get away from them and then great strength to get a nice powerful controlled shot off while on your back foot.

Another situation in soccer when you would need coordination is if you're the goalkeeper. Shots will be coming at you 80-90 mph and you have to first off dive in front of it and then keep the ball from getting past you. Or maybe a striker is running down the on a counter attack all alone, just you and him/her, you come out of your line and tackle the ball before they can get a shot off and you have to be brave to do that.

One more reason is when there is a cross, have you ever seen a bicycle kick? Have you ever attempted one? To do a bicycle kick and kick it accurately? While sprinting as fast as you can down field.

My final reason why soccer requires athleticism and coordination is the average runs about 35 miles a game with no stop. You have to be in peak condition to be able to do that.

There are many more explanations for why soccer needs coordination but I cannot list them all. People who have never played soccer for real, not parks and recreation soccer, but in a real competetive league with players that actually can play well are the only people who can say how hard soccer is.

Answer 5

You do not really need coordination but you do need aerial awareness. (aka. knowing where you are in the air)

Answer 6

Because if you don't have it you will fall off.

Answer 7

Dribbling
