Questions and Answers

1.

Tunnel vision is the ability to focus one’s senses on an object for a period of time without distraction.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Tunnel vision refers to the ability to concentrate or focus on a specific object or task without being distracted by other stimuli. It is characterized by a narrowed field of vision, where peripheral vision is reduced. This can be beneficial in situations that require intense focus, such as during a high-pressure task or in certain sports. Therefore, the statement that tunnel vision is the ability to focus one's senses on an object for a period of time without distraction is true.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The given statement suggests that narrow-internal attention refers to analytical thoughts and strategy development focus. However, the correct answer is False.

_____ is an assessment of the surrounding environment is taken before decision making is made final.
- A.
  
  Narrow-internal
- B.
  
  Broad-internal
- C.
  
  Narrow-external
- D.
  
  Broad-external
Correct Answer
D. Broad-external

Explanation
Broad-external is the correct answer because it refers to the assessment of the surrounding environment before making a final decision. This means considering factors and influences that are outside of the organization or individual, such as market conditions, competition, and customer preferences. Taking a broad external perspective allows for a more comprehensive evaluation of the situation and helps ensure that decisions are informed by the larger context in which they will be implemented.

In the relaxed state, the parasympathetic nervous system returns to its' pre-stressed condition.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for promoting rest and relaxation in the body. When the body is in a relaxed state, the parasympathetic nervous system is activated and works to bring the body back to its pre-stressed condition. This includes slowing down the heart rate, promoting digestion, and conserving energy. Therefore, the statement is correct.

______ technique helps people to recognise different levels of tension existing in the voluntary muscles, so that they can reduce the tension.

- B.
  
  Meditation
- C.
  
  Autogenic training
- D.
  
  Progressive relaxation
- E.
  
  Massage
Correct Answer
D. Progressive relaxation

Explanation
Progressive relaxation is a technique that helps people recognize different levels of tension in their voluntary muscles. By systematically tensing and then relaxing each muscle group in the body, individuals become more aware of the tension they hold and can learn to reduce it. This technique allows individuals to consciously relax their muscles, promoting relaxation and reducing overall tension in the body.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Athletes possess the ability to concentrate and direct their attention towards the event they are participating in, as well as towards themselves and the specific task they need to accomplish. This focus allows them to block out distractions and perform at their best.

Rate this question:
7.

To concentrate or remain in focus requires systematic physical strategies.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement suggests that concentration or focus can only be achieved through physical strategies. However, this is not entirely true. While physical strategies like creating a conducive environment or practicing mindfulness can aid in concentration, mental strategies such as goal-setting, time management, and eliminating distractions also play a crucial role. Therefore, concentration and focus require a combination of both physical and mental strategies, making the given statement false.
