There are three types of speed:
Speed of reaction: This type of speed is the time since we recieve a stimulus and we do the movement.
Speed of displacement: Is the speed to move from one place to another, we call it a sprint.
Gestual speed: This type of speed is the time since we start to do a movement and we finish this movement.
Speed means reacting quickly and moving fast.
