According to the Global Association of International Sports Federations, a sport:&#10;A) Should include an element of competition&#10;B) Should rely on an element of luck&#10;C) May pose only a minor risk to health and safety of athletes&#10;D) May use equipment from one or more suppliers&#10;E) Should not be harmful to humans

Accepted Answer

The Global Association of International Sports Federations states that a sport should include an element of competition, which is the main defining characteristic of any sport. The other options are not necessarily true for all sports.

Question 2

Cardiorespiratory exercise:&#10;A) Is static&#10;B) Involves small muscle groups&#10;C) Is predominantly anaerobic&#10;D) Uses the whole body&#10;E) Relies on a large supply of carbohydrate stores

C

Question 3

Oxygen consumption is expressed as: A) VO₂ B) VO_2max C) HRR D) VO₂R

Accepted Answer

Oxygen consumption is typically expressed as VO₂, which represents the volume of oxygen consumed per minute.

Question 4

Which of the following activities could be performed to improve muscular strength? A) Lifting free weights at 85% of 1RM B) lifting free weights at 60% of 1RM C) Cycling at 85% HR_max D) Cycling at 60% HR_max E) Running at 90% HR_max

Accepted Answer

Lifting free weights at 85% of 1RM is the best choice for improving muscular strength as it involves lifting heavy weights at a high intensity, which stimulates muscle tissue to grow and adapt. Lifting weights at 60% of 1RM may improve muscular endurance but not necessarily strength, while cycling and running at high intensities improve cardiovascular fitness but not muscular strength.

Question 5

Which of the following is the most important strategy to promote recovery from exercise?&#10;A) Cold water immersion&#10;B) Compression garments&#10;C) Rest&#10;D) Foam rolling&#10;E) Massage

Accepted Answer

Rest is the most important strategy to promote recovery from exercise. Without sufficient rest, the body cannot fully recover and adapt to the stress of exercise. While other strategies such as cold water immersion, compression garments, foam rolling, and massage can also be helpful, they are not as important as rest.
