  • A. 60-70%
  • B. 80-100%
  • C. 40-60%Send Money Overseas
  • D. 75-85%

  • A. Micro cycle
  • B. Micro cycle
  • C. Meso cycle
  • D. None of these

Explanation: A mesocycle is a medium-length training block commonly lasting about 3–6 weeks.

Correct answer: Meso cycle
  • A. All above
  • B. Over use
  • C. Under load
  • D. Overload

Explanation: Both excessive loading or overuse and insufficient loading can reduce performance: the first may cause fatigue or injury, while the second…

Correct answer: All above
  • A. Full work
  • B. Aerobic activists
  • C. Anaerobic activity
  • D. All above

Explanation: Aerobic activity uses oxygen to produce energy for the working muscles.

Correct answer: Aerobic activists
  • A. Circuit training
  • B. Overload training
  • C. Plyometric training
  • D. Muscular training

Explanation: Plyometric training uses rapid stretching followed immediately by powerful muscle contraction, as in jumps and bounds, to develop speed…

Correct answer: Plyometric training
  • A. Vigorous training
  • B. Overload training
  • C. Strength training
  • D. Jump training

Explanation: Plyometric training is commonly called jump training because it uses explosive jumping, hopping, and bounding movements.

Correct answer: Jump training
  • A. Full work
  • B. Anaerobic work
  • C. Aerobic activity
  • D. None of these

Explanation: Anaerobic work occurs when energy is produced without a sufficient oxygen supply, typically during short, intense efforts such as…

Correct answer: All of these
  • A. Strength
  • B. Reaction time
  • C. Flexibility
  • D. All

Explanation: Reaction time is a skill-related fitness component because it measures how quickly a person responds to a stimulus.

Correct answer: Reaction time
  • A. A fast jog
  • B. A 3 hour marathon
  • C. A fast walk
  • D. Sprints

Explanation: A fast walk generally requires moderate effort, around 30% to 50% of maximal oxygen uptake.

Correct answer: A fast walk
  • A. Resting and Program Energy
  • B. Retention of Play Enthusiasm
  • C. Reserved Program Energy
  • D. Rating of Perceived Exertion

Explanation: RPE stands for Rating of Perceived Exertion, a scale used to describe how hard exercise feels.

Correct answer: Rating of Perceived Exertion
  • 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.
