Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The increasing ability to throw a ball harder and propel oneself further off the ground while jumping is related to the concept of force, which refers to the strength or energy applied to an object or body to make it move or change direction. Flexibility refers to the range of motion in joints and muscles, agility refers to the ability to move quickly and change direction, and balance refers to the ability to stay upright and stable. While these abilities may also improve with age and practice, they are not specifically related to Luke's increased throwing and jumping ability.
