Another skill theme that is probably most closely related to successful weight transference is
- Balancing.
- Jumping and Landing.
- Traveling.
- Chasing, Fleeing, and Dodging.
- Kicking and Punting.
Correct Answer

A. Balancing.

Explanation

Balancing is the skill theme that is most closely related to successful weight transference. When balancing, individuals must distribute their weight evenly and make adjustments to maintain stability. This requires shifting weight from one foot to another or from one body part to another. Weight transference is an essential component of balancing as it allows individuals to maintain control and equilibrium. Therefore, balancing is the skill theme that is most closely related to successful weight transference.

Children should think of jumping as three successive phases:
- Beginning stance- Flight phase- Ending stance
- Precontrol- Control- Utilization
- Beginning- Intermediate- Mature
- Takeoff- Flight- Landing
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. Takeoff- Flight- Landing

Explanation

The correct answer is "Takeoff- Flight- Landing". This sequence accurately describes the three phases of jumping. Takeoff refers to the initial movement where the feet leave the ground, Flight is the phase where the body is in the air, and Landing is the final phase where the feet touch the ground again. This progression is commonly used to teach and analyze jumping techniques in various sports and activities.

The cue "watch the hips" is a helpful cue when teaching
- Chasing.
- Fleeing.
- Dodging.
- All of the above.
- Both A and C.
Correct Answer

A. Chasing.

Explanation

The cue "watch the hips" is a helpful cue when teaching chasing because it helps the person to focus on the movements of the hips of the person or object they are chasing. By watching the hips, they can anticipate the direction and speed of the chase, allowing them to adjust their own movements accordingly. This cue is not as relevant for fleeing or dodging, as the focus is more on the person's own movements rather than those of the person or object they are trying to avoid. Therefore, the correct answer is chasing.

When striking with paddles and rackets, the most difficult object to strike of the five objects listed is
- "live" tennis balls.
- Volleybirds.
- Foam balls.
- Balloons.
- Ping-Pong balls.
Correct Answer

A. Foam balls.

Explanation

The most difficult object to strike among the five listed options is foam balls. This is because foam balls have a soft and lightweight texture, making it challenging to hit them accurately with paddles and rackets. On the other hand, "live" tennis balls, Volleybirds, balloons, and Ping-Pong balls have a more solid and predictable bounce, making them easier to strike.
