- A. ATP-PCr system
- B. Lactic acid system
- C. Oxygen system
- D. both b and c
Explanation: The ATP-PCr, or phosphagen, system supplies stored energy almost immediately and is dominant in very short, explosive efforts such as…
Correct answer: ATP-PCr system- A. Ball catches
- B. Jump rope
- C. Vertical jump
- D. Jumping jack.
Explanation: A vertical jump primarily measures explosive leg power, combining strength and speed, rather than coordination.
Correct answer: Vertical jump- A. Strength and jumping
- B. Strength and agility
- C. Speed and CRE
- D. Speed and strength
Explanation: Power is the ability to apply force quickly, so it combines muscular strength with speed.
Correct answer: Speed and strength- A. 1 rep max
- B. Weight lifting
- C. Vertical jump
- D. Standing broad jump
Explanation: The one-repetition maximum test measures the greatest load a person can lift once, making it a direct test of maximal strength.
Correct answer: 1 rep max- A. .The 12 minute cooper run
- B. The Illinois test
- C. Running
- D. The 10 minute cooper run
Explanation: The standard Cooper test for cardiorespiratory endurance is a 12-minute run, in which the distance covered is recorded.
Correct answer: .The 12 minute cooper run- A. Serve
- B. Simple
- C. Complex
- D. Overhead clear
Explanation: A complex skill contains several linked sub-routines that must be performed in sequence, such as the components of a badminton overhead…
Correct answer: Complex- A. Lots of information
- B. Given during the next training session
- C. Negative
- D. Positive and corrective
Explanation: Useful feedback should reinforce what was done well while identifying how to correct errors, so it should be positive and corrective.
Correct answer: Positive and corrective- A. Shadow
- B. Gradual build up

Correct answer: Sit and reach- A. Specificity
- B. Reversibility
- C. Overload
- D. Intensity
Explanation: Reversibility means that training gains decline when training is stopped or greatly reduced, often summarized as “use it or lose it.”…
Correct answer: Reversibility- A. Co-ordination
- B. Balance
- C. Agility
- D. Power.
Explanation: Agility combines rapid changes of direction with efficient control of the body.
Correct answer: Agility- A. Oxygen energy system
- B. Phosphagen energy system
- C. Lactic acid energy system
- D. ATP-PCr energy system
Explanation: A marathon is sustained for a long duration, so the aerobic or oxygen energy system must be highly developed to produce ATP using oxygen.
Correct answer: Oxygen energy system- A. Is associated with overtraining
- B. All of the above
- C. Has a physiological component
- D. Has a psychological component
Explanation: Chronic fatigue is a recognized sign of overtraining and may involve both physiological problems, such as impaired recovery, and…
