Circuit training involves performing a fixed number of
repetitions
at each station before moving to the next.
True
One key benefit of circuit training is that it can be customized to focus on different fitness
components
Overexertion during circuit training can be avoided with proper planning.
True
Circuit training involves completing a series of exercises or stations in a continuous loop or
circuit
In circuit training, individuals work for a fixed time period or complete a set number of
repetitions
Arrange the components of circuit training in order of their importance:
1️⃣ Stations
2️⃣ Exercises
3️⃣ Rest periods
In circuit training, stations are individual exercise areas that focus on different muscle groups or fitness
components
What defines the structure and effectiveness of a circuit training workout?
Stations, exercises, rest periods
What is a common work-to-rest ratio in circuit training?
30-45 seconds work, 15-30 seconds rest
Beginners should always start with three rounds of a circuit training routine
False
Using correct form during circuit training reduces the risk of
injuries
Circuit training requires minimal equipment

False
Match the type of circuit with its benefit:
Full-Body ↔️ Balanced fitness improvement
Strength-Based ↔️ Increased muscle power
Cardiovascular ↔️ Enhanced cardiovascular health
What is the primary benefit of a strength-based circuit?
Increased muscle power
Warming up before
circuit training
is essential to prepare muscles.
True
Cooling down after circuit training helps return the body to a
resting
state.
Advanced circuit training involves
minimal
rest periods.
True
Increasing exercise difficulty can involve adding
weights
.
Circuit training involves completing a series of exercise
stations
In circuit training, individuals complete a set number of repetitions or work for a fixed
time period
Circuit training requires minimal space.
False
Steps in designing a circuit training session:
1️⃣ Define fitness goals
2️⃣ Choose exercises for each station
3️⃣ Determine the number of repetitions or time

Increases flexibility ↔️ Reduces risk of injury
Circuit training requires specialized equipment at every station.
False
Circuit training is only suitable for advanced fitness levels.
False
What are the key components of circuit training?
Stations, exercises, rest periods
The rest period in circuit training remains constant regardless of exercise intensity
False
Steps to structure a circuit training routine
1️⃣ Station Selection
2️⃣ Work-Rest Intervals
3️⃣ Circuit Length
4️⃣ Rounds
5️⃣ Progression
A typical circuit training routine includes 6-10
stations
What are the essential safety precautions during circuit training?
Warm-up, cool-down, hydration
Match the circuit training term with its definition:
Exercises ↔️ Specific movements at each station
