    Cardiovascular fitness is 

    • The ability of the nervous system to control the movement of the body to perform a range of skills

    • The ability of the muscle to create high force to lift a heavy weight

    • The range of movement about a joint or joint complex

    • The ability of the heart and lungs to take in, transport and utilise oxygen

    Correct Answer
    A. The ability of the heart and lungs to take in, transport and utilise oxygen
    Explanation
    Cardiovascular fitness refers to the ability of the heart and lungs to take in, transport, and utilize oxygen. This means that individuals with good cardiovascular fitness have a strong and efficient cardiovascular system that can effectively deliver oxygen to the muscles during physical activity. This is important because oxygen is necessary for energy production and muscle function. Therefore, individuals with good cardiovascular fitness are able to engage in prolonged physical activity without feeling fatigued quickly.

    Which of the following is not a typical lifestyle factor that would affect health?

    • Gender

    • Diet

    • Lifestyle habits

    • Everyday activity

    Correct Answer
    A. Gender
    Explanation
    Gender is not a typical lifestyle factor that would affect health because it is a biological characteristic that does not directly determine one's lifestyle choices or habits. While gender may influence certain health issues or risks, such as reproductive health or hormonal conditions, it is not a lifestyle factor that individuals can actively control or change. On the other hand, diet, lifestyle habits, and everyday activity are all lifestyle factors that can significantly impact a person's health and well-being.

    Yoga and swiss-ball activities develop which of the following motor skills?

    • Balance

    • Co-ordination

    • Speed

    • Power

    Correct Answer
    A. Balance
    Explanation
    Yoga and swiss-ball activities are known to improve balance. These activities require individuals to engage their core muscles and maintain stability, which in turn enhances their ability to balance. By practicing yoga and swiss-ball activities regularly, individuals can improve their overall balance and stability, leading to better control over their body movements.

    Which of the following is not a health benefit from taking part in exercise?

    • Normalising blood pressure

    • Increasing the risk of injury

    • Managing weight

    • Improving confidence and well-being

    Correct Answer
    A. Increasing the risk of injury
    Explanation
    Taking part in exercise provides numerous health benefits, such as normalizing blood pressure, managing weight, and improving confidence and well-being. However, increasing the risk of injury is not a health benefit of exercise. In fact, exercise, when done correctly and safely, can help prevent injuries by strengthening muscles and improving flexibility. Therefore, the statement "Increasing the risk of injury" is not a health benefit from exercise.

    Which of the following is not a factor that would affect training potential?

    • Heredrity

    • Size of the gym

    • Age

    • Health

    Correct Answer
    A. Size of the gym
    Explanation
    The size of the gym is not a factor that would affect training potential. Factors such as heredity, age, and health can all have an impact on an individual's ability to train effectively. Heredity can determine factors such as muscle fiber composition and metabolic rate, which can affect training potential. Age can affect factors such as flexibility and recovery time. Health can affect factors such as energy levels and the ability to perform certain exercises. However, the size of the gym does not directly impact an individual's training potential.

    Which of the following is not a typical somatotype?

    • Polymorph

    • Mesomorph

    • Ectomorph

    • Endomorph

    Correct Answer
    A. Polymorph
    Explanation
    The term "polymorph" is not commonly used to describe somatotypes. The three main somatotypes are mesomorph, ectomorph, and endomorph, which categorize individuals based on their body composition and physical characteristics. "Polymorph" refers to the ability of an organism or material to exist in multiple forms, and is not directly related to somatotypes.

    The ability to rapidly change direction of the body in space with speed and accuracy is the definition of:

    • Agility

    • Balance

    • Power

    • Reaction time

    Correct Answer
    A. Agility
    Explanation
    Agility refers to the ability to quickly change direction and move the body with speed and precision. It involves a combination of coordination, balance, and reflexes, allowing individuals to react swiftly to changes in their environment. Agility is essential in sports and activities that require quick movements, such as basketball, soccer, and martial arts. It enables athletes to evade opponents, change direction rapidly, and maintain control while moving at high speeds. Therefore, agility is the correct answer as it best describes the ability to change direction of the body in space with speed and accuracy.

    An ectomorph is 

    • Tall and lean

    • Muscular and athletic

    • Soft and rounded

    • Tall and muscular

    Correct Answer
    A. Tall and lean
    Explanation
    An ectomorph is characterized by being tall and lean. This body type typically has a slender and elongated frame, with a low body fat percentage and difficulty in gaining muscle mass. Ectomorphs tend to have a fast metabolism, which allows them to stay lean despite consuming a higher amount of calories. They often excel in endurance activities such as long-distance running or cycling.

    An endomorph would perform well in 

    • Wrestling

    • Jumping

    • Sprints

    • Marathons

    Correct Answer
    A. Wrestling
    Explanation
    Endomorphs typically have a larger body frame and higher levels of body fat, which can provide them with an advantage in sports that require strength and power, such as wrestling. The extra weight and muscle mass can make it more difficult for opponents to move and control them. Additionally, endomorphs tend to have good natural strength, which can be beneficial in grappling and takedowns. On the other hand, sports like jumping, sprints, and marathons require a leaner body type and more endurance, which may not be the strengths of an endomorph.

    Which of the following is not an area of total fitness?

    • Mental

    • Social

    • Medical

    • Overload

    Correct Answer
    A. Overload
    Explanation
    The term "total fitness" refers to overall well-being and encompasses various dimensions such as physical, mental, and social aspects. The options given are Mental, Social, Medical, and Overload. While Mental, Social, and Medical are all areas that contribute to total fitness, Overload does not fit into this category. Overload typically refers to a training principle in exercise physiology, where the body is subjected to a greater stress or load than it is accustomed to, in order to induce adaptations and improvements in fitness. Therefore, Overload is not an area of total fitness.

    Which of the following is not a skill-related fitness?

    • Speed

    • Co-ordination

    • Reaction time

    • Flexibility

    Correct Answer
    A. Flexibility
    Explanation
    Flexibility is not considered a skill-related fitness because it is related to the range of motion and the ability of the joints to move freely. Skill-related fitness, on the other hand, refers to the abilities that are essential for performing various sports and activities effectively. These abilities include speed, coordination, and reaction time, which are directly related to the performance of specific skills required in sports and activities. Flexibility, although important for overall health and well-being, is not directly linked to the acquisition or improvement of specific skills.

    Which of the following is not a stage of learning when training motor skills?

    • Somatic

    • Automatic

    • Motor

    • Cognitive

    Correct Answer
    A. Somatic
    Explanation
    The term "somatic" refers to the body's physical sensations and movements. In the context of learning motor skills, the stages are typically categorized as cognitive, associative, and autonomous. The cognitive stage involves understanding and mentally processing the skill, while the associative stage focuses on refining and practicing the skill. The autonomous stage is characterized by performing the skill automatically and without conscious effort. Therefore, "somatic" does not fit into the stages of learning motor skills.

    Which of the following is a skill-related fitness not typically developed by racquet sports?

    • Co-ordination

    • Reaction time

    • Agility

    • Balance

    Correct Answer
    A. Co-ordination
    Explanation
    Coordination is a skill-related fitness that is typically developed by racquet sports. These sports require players to have good hand-eye coordination, as they need to accurately hit the ball with the racquet. Racquet sports also involve quick movements and changes in direction, which require coordination between different body parts. Therefore, coordination is typically developed through regular practice and participation in racquet sports.
