3.2.1 Definitions and examples

• Why is cardiorespiratory endurance an important component of physical fitness?

  Sustains effort without fatigue
• Order the following activities based on their effectiveness in improving cardiorespiratory endurance, from most to least effective.

  1️⃣ Cross-country skiing

  2️⃣ Running

  3️⃣ Swimming

  4️⃣ Cycling

  5️⃣ Brisk walking
• What systems are involved in cardiorespiratory endurance?

  Cardiovascular and respiratory
• Muscular strength is defined as the ability to exert force against resistance
• Muscular strength training builds cardiovascular and respiratory capacity.

  False
• What is used as resistance in bodyweight exercises?

  Body weight
• What is muscular strength defined as?

  Exerting force against resistance
• Weightlifting is an example of an activity that improves muscular strength
• Resistance band exercises are an example of an activity that improves muscular strength


  True
• Match the activity with its example:

  Weightlifting ↔️ Lifting barbells

  Bodyweight exercises ↔️ Push-ups
• High-repetition bodyweight exercises improve muscular endurance
• High-repetition squats are an example of an activity that improves muscular endurance


  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
• What type of weight is used in weightlifting activities to build muscular strength?

  Barbells
