What is cardiovascular endurance?
The range of movement around a joint.
Distance divided by time.
Ability of the cardiorespiratory system to work efficiently, supplying nutrients and oxygen to working muscles during sustained physical activity.
The ability of muscle to exert maximum force.
What is flexibility?
The relative ratio of fat mass to fat free mass in the body.
The range of movement around a joint.
The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to perform repeated contractions for extended periods of time.
A combination of using strength and speed at the same time.
What is balance?
The ability to move two or more parts of the body at the same time efficiently and accurately.
The time it takes to respond to a stimulus.
The ability to combine strength and speed at the same time.
The ability to keep the body stable, when still or moving.
What is reaction time?
The time taken to respond to a stimulus.
The ability to perform strength performances quickly.
The ability to put body parts into motion quickly.
The ability to use two or more body parts together.
What is co-ordination?
The ability to change direction quickly under control.
The ability to perform strength performances quickly.
The ability to put body parts in motion quickly.
The ability to use two or more body parts together.
What is agility?
The ability to combine strength and speed.
The ability to change direction at speed under control.
The time taken to respond to a stimulus.
The ability to keep the body stable when still or moving, by keeping the centre of gravity over the base of support.
What is muscular strength?
The amount of force that can be generated by muscles.
The ability of the muscles to repeatedly contract over time.
The measure of fat and fat free mass.

The FITT principle stands for:
Frequency, intensity, time, type
Frequency, intensity, train, type
Fast, intensity, time, type
Frequency, individuality, time, type
Training that involves moving between a number of stations for different exercises is:
Multi training
Continuous training
Cross training
Circuit training
Training that involves periods of work, separated with periods of rest is:
Interval training
Plyometric training
Continuous training
Cross training
According to the principle of progressive overload, how many factors or variables (ie. reps, sets, time, intensity) should you increase at a given time?
One
Two
Three
As many as you want
What is the minimum duration of a training session in order to achieve improvements in fitness?
15 minutes
30 minutes
45 minutes
60 minutes
What is the recommended training frequency for aerobic athletes?
1-2 sessions a week
3-4 sessions a week
4-5 sessions a week
6-7 sessions a week
What is the recommended training frequency for anaerobic athletes?
1-2 sessions a week

Advantages of circuit training include:
You can target a number of fitness components at one time
It is easy to use with large groups of people
It provides variety in training
All of the above
Fartlek training is best described as:
A continuous bout of activity lasting at least 15 minutes
A variation of continuous training that includes short bouts of higher intensity efforts
Periods of activity (work) followed by periods of complete rest
Working at a number of activity stations in sequence
Weight/resistance training is best used to improve:
Muscular strength, power, endurance
Aerobic power & anaerobic capacity
Muscular endurance, agility & speed
Balance, flexibility & body composition
The most suitable type of stretching for a warm up is:
Static stretching
Ballistic stretching
PNF stretching
Dynamic stretching
The most suitable type of stretching for a cool down is:
Static stretching
Ballistic stretching
PNF stretching
Dynamic stretching
The gradual increase of intensity, time, distance, frequency, weight or repetitions is a principle known as:
Progressive overload
Individuality
Gradual increase
Slow overload
What is the reason for a cool down?
To increase heart rate slowly
To increase muscle temperature
To burn more calories
To gradually return heart rate to resting levels
What is the reason for a warm up?
To increase likelihood of injuries
To decrease muscle temperature
To burn more calories
To increase heart rate & blood flow to muscles
Skipping is an example of what type of exercise?
Resistance/weight
Plyometric
Flexibility
Circuit
