Human being is an integration of the body and mind. Both components through their combinations make hire more successful. The mental process and the physical expression are beautifully interwoven in the mechanism of the whole man and his wholeness in no case should be made to suffer by separating mental and physical aspects (Kamlesh, 1988). Man's life is a continuous flow of activity. Every moment he is doing something and his entire activity is the result of the joint efforts of the body and mind; more integrated efforts yield more success to the individual. Things in this world, outside ourselves, come via the body (some organs) into our mind and things in our mind reach the world outside through the body (Gupta, 1983). Physical fitness is the capacity of an individual to carry out reasonably well various forms of physical activities without being unduly tired and includes qualities important to the individual's health and well being. Physical fitness is the basic requirement for most of the tasks to be undertaken by an individual in his daily life. If a person's body is under-developed or grows soft or inactive and if he fails to develop physical prowess, he is undermining his capacity for work, which are of vital importance to one's own life and society. Regular participation in vigorous exercise increases physical fitness. A high level of physical fitness is desirable for a healthful, productive life. Sedentary living habits and poor physical fitness have a negative impact on both health and daily living (Uppal, 1996). Coordinative motor abilities are particularly important at the initial stages of the sports development of a competitor (Zimmermann, Nicklisch, 1981, Raczek, 1989, I.jachl995, Raczek, Mynarski and Ljach 2002). A high level of coordination improvement since the earliest years makes it possible to make use of technical and tactical skills during a sports competition, effectively (Szczepanik,1993, Ljach,1995, Sadovski, 2003, Starosta, 2003, Gierczuk, 2004). A well- formed basis of coordinative abilities in young sportsmen is maintained at a later aye and seemed an important reason for faster and more accurate learning of rather more difficult and complex movement tasks (Raczek, Mynarski and Ljach 2002) 2 The term coordinative abilities have come into existence replacing the earlier used term agility as stated in most of the literature on physical education. The concept of coordinative abilities should be understood as the ability expediently to form, coordinate and,link into an integrated whole the motive actions on one hand and secondly the ability to transform action already worked out under dynamic situations.
