coordination
Harmonious movement ability
Coordination is the organization of different elements to work together effectively.
In physical movement, coordination means controlling body parts smoothly: She has excellent hand-eye coordination.
In planning, it means arranging activities so they don't conflict: The project required coordination between three departments.
The word implies bringing separate things into harmonious operation—whether muscles, schedules, or people.
