Coordination is the ability to select the right muscle at the right time with proper intensity to achieve proper action. Coordinated movement is characterized by appropriate speed, distance, direction, timing and muscular tension.An example of coordination is when a gymnast walks on a tightrope without falling. 

Good coordination can enhance your ability in sport. It can help prevent all kinds of injuries and help you stay more effective as you age. So whilst the usual metrics of cardiovascular fitness and strength and flexibility all matter, it pays to focus some attention on how you coordinate movement.
