Agility can be best described as:

1. The ratio of fat mass to muscle mass

2. Ability to change direction quickly

3. The range of movement a joint can achieve

4. The balance between muscular capacity and cardiorespiratory fitnes

The correct answer is: Ability to change direction quickly

Agility refers to the ability to change direction quickly with ease and efficiency. This involves a combination of balance, coordination, and spatial awareness. Fat and muscle mass, joint movement, and muscular and cardiorespiratory capacity are all related to physical fitness, but they do not accurately describe agility and therefore are not the best descriptions of it. One may have a high level of muscle mass and low body fat but may not have good agility due to lack of coordination and balance. Similarly, one may have a wide range of joint movement, but if they are not able to change direction quickly, they would not be considered agile. Lastly, while agility does involve balance and coordination, it is not the same as maintaining a balance between muscular and cardiorespiratory abilities. Therefore, the correct answer is B Ability to change direction quickly.
