Static stretching

• Involves the help of another person holding the body part in position during the muscle contraction and then helping with stretching after the contraction when the muscles are relaxed.

• Involves moving parts of your body continuously while gradually increasing reach, speed of movement or both gently through a full range of motion.

• Involves stretching a muscle to the point of mild discomfort by holding it in a maximal stretch for an extended period.

• Involves rapid bobbing, bouncing or jerky movements that use the body's momentum to stretch.

How long should a static stretch last to meet the FITT recommendation for time?

• 10 seconds

• 15 minutes

• 3+ repetitions

• 15 seconds

The use of FITT-Intensity during a flexibility workout means:

• How many days a week stretching is done

• Holding a stretch to the point of mild tension

• How much time is spent working on flexibility

• Choosing either dynamic or static stretches

According to the FITT Principle, cardiorespiratory endurance training should be performed

• Three to five times per month

• Twice a week

• Twice a day

• Five times per week

To apply the FITT Principle to cardiorespiratory endurance the intensity level should be:

• 65% to 85% of the maximum heart rate or RPE of 4

• 50% to 65% of the maximum heart rate or RPE of 3

• Above 85% of MHR for as long as possible

• 35% to 50% of the maximum heart rate or RPE of 1-2

According to the FITT Principle, how many minutes a day should be in the Heart Health level

• 45 minutes

• 60 minutes

• 20 minutes

• 30 minutes

To improve body composition use cardiorespiratory activities which increase the demand for oxygen because:

• The heart will become larger

• Calories will be burned at a much faster rate

• Metabolism will slow down

• Fewer calories will be used up

The majority or bone density is developed by the end of the

• infant years

• toddler years

• teen years

• adult years

Bone density can be continually improved during a person's life by leading a lifestyle that includes:

• a high level of physical activity and a nutritious diet rich in calcium

• a low level of physical activity and a nutritious diet rich in calcium

• a high level of physical activity and a nutritious diet high in Vitamin A

• a high level of physical activity and a nutritious diet high in Vitamin C

The use of intensity during a cardiorespiratory endurance workout means:

• How often an activity is performed

• How hard an activity is performed

• How long an activity is performed

• Where an exercise is performed
