Unit 1

What is cardiovascular endurance?

• The ability of the heart to pump blood to the brain

• The ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to deliver oxygen to working muscles and tissues, as well as the ability of those muscles and tissues to utilize oxygen effectively.

• The ability of the muscles to store excess oxygen

• The ability of the lungs to filter oxygen from the air

Define muscular strength.

• Ability of a muscle to maintain posture

• Ability of a muscle or group of muscles to exert force against resistance

• Ability of a muscle to stretch and contract

• Ability of a muscle to store energy

Explain the concept of flexibility in relation to fitness.

• The ability of the joints to move through their full range of motion.

• The amount of muscle mass in the body

• The speed at which a person can run a mile

• The ability to lift heavy weights

What is muscular endurance?

• The ability of a muscle to relax and not contract

• The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time.

• The ability of a muscle to lift heavy weights once

• The ability of a muscle to sustain repeated contractions for a short period of time

How is body composition related to fitness?

• Body composition has no relation to fitness

• Body composition only reflects muscle mass, not overall fitness

• Body composition is only related to flexibility, not fitness

• Body composition reflects the overall fitness level of an individual.

Name three methods of training for improving fitness.

• Continuous training, Weight training, Plyometric Training

• To assess musical talent

• To assess physical fitness level and track progress

How can you improve cardiovascular endurance?

• Avoiding physical activity

• Regular aerobic exercise

• Watching TV for hours

• Eating fast food every day

Why is muscular strength important for overall fitness?

• Muscular strength only benefits professional athletes

• Muscular strength helps improve posture, reduce the risk of injury, and increase the body's ability to perform daily activities.

• Muscular strength is not important for overall fitness

• Muscular strength helps improve memory and cognitive function

What are the different ways to measure body composition?

• skinfold measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and underwater weighing

• Counting calories and tracking macronutrients

• Using a tape measure to measure body circumference

• Measuring height and weight only
