    True
  • What is flexibility defined as?
    Range of motion around joints
  • Flexibility reduces the risk of injury
    True
  • What is the primary goal of cardiorespiratory endurance?
    Sustain physical effort longer
  • Anaerobic activities do not primarily target cardiorespiratory endurance
  • Activities that enhance muscular strength involve working against resistance
  • Resistance band exercises provide resistance during exercises to build muscular strength.

    True
  • Which activities are associated with building muscular endurance?
    Circuit training
  • Examples of activities that improve muscular endurance include high-repetition bodyweight exercises and sustained low-intensity exercises
  • Steps to improve muscular endurance through high-repetition bodyweight exercises
    1️⃣ Choose bodyweight exercises like push-ups or squats
    2️⃣ Perform exercises with high repetitions
    3️⃣ Minimize rest between sets
  • What is the definition of flexibility in physical fitness?
    Range of motion
  • Match the flexibility activity with its description:
    Yoga ↔️ Poses and sequences to improve flexibility
    Pilates ↔️ Controlled exercises for flexibility
  • Balance is the ability to maintain the body's center of mass over its base of support.
    True
  • Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to supply oxygen to the working muscles during prolonged physical activity
  • Aerobic activities improve cardiorespiratory endurance by requiring the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to work harder.

    True
  • Anaerobic activities like sprinting primarily focus on building muscular strength and power
  • Which type of activities improve muscular strength?
    Weightlifting
  • Weightlifting, resistance band exercises, and bodyweight exercises are examples of activities that improve muscular strength
  • Match the fitness component with its primary focus:
    Cardiorespiratory Endurance ↔️ Oxygen supply to muscles
    Muscular Strength ↔️ Exerting force against resistance
  • Muscular strength is the same as cardiorespiratory endurance
    False
  • What is the fitness focus of muscular strength activities?
    Builds muscle power and force
  • Lifting dumbbells is an example of weightlifting
  • What is muscular endurance defined as?
    Sustaining repeated contractions
  • What is the fitness focus of muscular endurance activities?
    Builds muscle fatigue resistance
  • Circuit training with lighter weights is an example of an activity that improves muscular endurance
  • Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to supply oxygen to working muscles
  • Swimming is an example of an activity that improves cardiorespiratory endurance
    True
  • Match the activity with its description:
    Weightlifting ↔️ Lifting barbells or dumbbells
    Resistance band exercises ↔️ Using bands for resistance
