Questions and Answers

1.

What does PAR-Q stand for?
- A.
  
  Pure Active readiness query
- B.
  
  Physical attribute readiness questionnaire
- C.
  
  Performance ability recovery questionnaire
- D.
  
  Physical activity readiness questionnaire
Correct Answer
D. pHysical activity readiness questionnaire

Explanation
PAR-Q stands for Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire. It is a self-administered questionnaire that is used to determine an individual's readiness to engage in physical activity. It helps to identify any potential health risks or limitations that may need to be considered before starting an exercise program. The questionnaire asks about medical history, current physical activity level, and any signs or symptoms that may indicate a need for further medical evaluation before starting an exercise program. This assessment is important to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the physical activity program for the individual.

You can measure flexibility by doing the BMI test.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The BMI test is used to measure body mass index, which is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. It does not directly measure flexibility, which is the ability of joints and muscles to move through a full range of motion. Therefore, the statement that you can measure flexibility by doing the BMI test is false.

Interval training helps in increasing speed.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Interval training is a type of workout that alternates between high-intensity bursts of exercise and periods of rest or lower intensity. This type of training is known to improve speed and endurance by pushing the body to work harder during the high-intensity intervals. By repeatedly challenging the body with intense bursts of exercise followed by recovery periods, interval training can enhance cardiovascular fitness, increase the body's ability to utilize oxygen, and ultimately improve speed and performance. Therefore, it can be concluded that interval training does indeed help in increasing speed.

What does FITT stand for?
- A.
  
  Frequency; Intensity; Time-bound; Type
- B.
  
  Fitness; Injury; Typical; tropical
- C.
  
  Frequency; Intensity; Time; Type
- D.
  
  None of these
Correct Answer
C. Frequency; Intensity; Time; Type

Explanation
FITT stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type. This acronym is commonly used in the field of exercise and fitness to guide individuals in designing and implementing effective workout programs. Frequency refers to how often an individual engages in physical activity, intensity relates to the level of effort exerted during the activity, time refers to the duration of the activity, and type refers to the specific type or mode of exercise chosen. By considering these four factors, individuals can tailor their exercise routines to meet their specific fitness goals and needs.

We stretch to remove lactic acid from our bodies.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Stretching can help remove lactic acid from our bodies. Lactic acid is produced as a byproduct of intense physical activity when the body doesn't have enough oxygen to break down glucose for energy. Accumulation of lactic acid can lead to muscle soreness and fatigue. Stretching after exercise helps improve blood circulation, which aids in the removal of lactic acid from the muscles. Additionally, stretching can help relax and lengthen muscles, reducing muscle tension and promoting recovery. Therefore, the statement "We stretch to remove lactic acid from our bodies" is true.

There are three types of goal setting: Short term, Long term, and medium-term.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because goal setting can indeed be categorized into three types: short term, long term, and medium-term. Short-term goals are those that can be achieved within a relatively short period of time, usually within a few days, weeks, or months. Long-term goals, on the other hand, are goals that require a longer time frame to achieve, often several years or even a lifetime. Lastly, medium-term goals fall in between short-term and long-term goals, typically spanning from a few months to a year or two. Therefore, the given answer is true.

Which of these is a method of training?
- A.
  
  Interval
- B.
  
  Circuit
- C.
  
  Fartlek
- D.
  
  All of these
Correct Answer
D. All of these

Explanation
All of the options mentioned (Interval, Circuit, Fartlek) are different methods of training. Interval training involves alternating between high-intensity exercises and periods of rest or lower intensity. Circuit training involves performing a series of exercises targeting different muscle groups with minimal rest in between. Fartlek training is a type of interval training that involves varying the intensity and speed of exercise. Therefore, all of these options can be considered as methods of training.

Define SMART:
- A.
  
  Specific; Measurable; Realistic; Timebound; Achievable
- B.
  
  Short; Medium; Achievable; Realistic, Timebound
- C.
  
  Social; Media; Access; role model; typical
- D.
  
  None of these
Correct Answer
A. Specific; Measurable; Realistic; Timebound; Achievable

Explanation
The correct answer is Specific, Measurable, Realistic, Timebound, Achievable. This is because SMART is an acronym that stands for these five key criteria in goal-setting. Specific means that the goal should be clear and well-defined. Measurable means that there should be a way to track progress and determine if the goal has been achieved. Realistic means that the goal should be attainable and within reach. Timebound means that there should be a deadline or timeframe for achieving the goal. Achievable means that the goal should be feasible and within one's capabilities.

The term fartlek means 'speed play'.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The term "fartlek" is a Swedish word that translates to "speed play" in English. It is a training method that involves alternating between periods of fast running and periods of slower recovery running. This technique is often used by athletes to improve their speed and endurance. Therefore, the statement "The term fartlek means 'speed play'" is true.

Agility, standing stork, and Dergent jump are the examples of tests that can be done to measure all the components of skill-related fitness.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Agility, standing stork, and Dergent jump tests are specific physical tests that measure particular components of skill-related fitness, but they do not measure all components comprehensively.
Agility tests, like shuttle runs, measure how quickly an individual can change direction and speed.
The standing stork test measures balance, specifically how well a person can maintain a position for a prolonged period.
Dergent jump tests (assuming a typo and referring to a vertical jump test) typically measure power, specifically the ability of the muscles to exert force rapidly.
