Questions: 16 · 10 minutes
1. In the FITT principle, which element describes how often a person exercises?
Frequency
Type
Intensity
Time
2. A student has been sitting at a desk for a long period. Which choice best adds useful movement to the day?
Remaining seated but changing chairs
Waiting until the weekend to do all planned movement
Taking a short active break to walk and move the major joints
Replacing sleep with a late-night intense workout
3. A runner completes the same comfortable route for several weeks, then gradually adds a little distance. Which training principle is being applied?
Reversibility
Progressive overload
Specificity
Reaction time
4. A student's pulse is higher after a fast shuttle run than after a gentle walk. What is the best explanation?
The shuttle run reduced the muscles' need for oxygen
Pulse rate cannot change in response to exercise intensity
The walk required more energy than the shuttle run
The heart worked faster to help meet the increased demands of activity
5. After a demanding run, which action best supports a gradual transition toward recovery?
Stopping suddenly and sitting down immediately
Beginning another maximum-effort activity
Walking slowly and allowing breathing to settle
Holding the breath while standing still
6. Which activity primarily develops aerobic endurance when performed continuously for an appropriate length of time?
A single maximal vertical jump
A short reaction-time drill
One heavy lift
Steady-paced swimming
7. A basketball player practises repeated changes of direction to improve performance in games. Which training principle does this best illustrate?
Reversibility
Rest and recovery
Hydration
Specificity
8. A student wants to improve muscular endurance in the legs. Which training choice best matches that goal?
Completing one maximal squat and ending the session
Performing repeated controlled squats with a manageable resistance
Practising a reaction drill while seated
Holding one relaxed stretch without repeating any movement
9. During continuous activity, a student can talk in short sentences but would find singing difficult. What does this commonly suggest?
The student is necessarily exercising at maximum intensity
The student is completely at rest
The student is working at a moderate intensity
The activity is measuring flexibility rather than effort
10. An opponent falls during a game, and the referee stops play. Which response best demonstrates sportsmanship?
Celebrating because the stoppage benefits your team
Respecting the stoppage and checking whether the opponent needs help
Ignoring the referee and continuing to play
Arguing for the opponent to be removed from the game
11. During a balance drill, a student finds it difficult to stand on one leg. Which adjustment would usually make the task easier?
Keeping the eyes open and using a stable support if needed
Closing the eyes and standing on an uneven surface
Adding fast turns while remaining on one leg
Holding a weight farther away from the body
12. Which practice is most important when learning a new resistance exercise?
Choosing the heaviest possible resistance before learning the movement
Holding the breath throughout every repetition
Moving as quickly as possible regardless of body position
Learning controlled technique with suitable resistance and supervision
13. A class is about to begin a session of running and jumping activities. Which warm-up is most suitable?
Long, relaxed static stretches followed immediately by maximum-effort jumps
Light movement followed by dynamic exercises using the muscles needed in the session
A complete rest period followed by a fast sprint
Heavy resistance exercises performed until the leg muscles are tired
14. Which fitness component describes the range of movement available at a joint?
Flexibility
Coordination
Cardiovascular endurance
Power
15. What is generally the most appropriate hydration habit during a typical PE lesson?
Avoid fluids until thirst becomes intense
Drink a very large amount only immediately before vigorous exercise
Drink at sensible opportunities before, during, and after activity
Replace water with highly caffeinated drinks during every session
16. During a PE activity, a student feels sudden sharp pain rather than normal effort or mild muscle fatigue. What should the student do first?
Stop the activity and tell the teacher, coach, or another responsible adult
Increase the pace so the painful area warms up faster
Hide the pain to avoid interrupting the lesson
Continue at the same intensity to see whether the pain disappears
