    Body fat is needed to supply energy to the body.

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Body fat is an essential component of our bodies and serves as a source of energy. It provides a concentrated form of energy that can be utilized when the body needs it, such as during periods of fasting or intense physical activity. Additionally, body fat also plays a role in insulation, protection of organs, and hormone regulation. Therefore, it is necessary for the body to have a certain amount of body fat to ensure proper functioning and energy supply.

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The given answer, "all of the above," is correct because all the mentioned activities (swimming, jogging, walking, rowing, skating, cross country skiing) are examples of aerobic exercises. Aerobic exercise is known to strengthen the heart by increasing its efficiency and endurance. It helps the heart reach and maintain a target heart range, which is beneficial for cardiovascular health. Engaging in any of these activities for at least 20-30 minutes can provide the necessary cardiovascular benefits.

    Body fat is needed for the brain to properly function.

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Body fat is an essential component for the brain to function properly. The brain is made up of about 60% fat, and it relies on the fatty acids found in body fat for various functions such as insulation, protection, and the formation of cell membranes. Additionally, body fat serves as a source of energy for the brain during times of fasting or low glucose availability. Therefore, maintaining a healthy amount of body fat is crucial for optimal brain function.

    Balance and agility are both important factors in the ability to change direction quickly. Balance refers to the ability to maintain stability and control while moving, while agility refers to the ability to move quickly and easily. Both of these attributes are necessary in order to change direction rapidly, as they allow for quick adjustments in body position and movement. Therefore, the correct answer is balance and agility.

    Body fat is not needed to utilize certain vitamins.

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    This statement is incorrect because body fat is actually necessary for the absorption and utilization of certain vitamins. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins, which means they require fat in order to be absorbed and transported in the body. Without sufficient body fat, these vitamins cannot be properly utilized, leading to potential deficiencies. Therefore, the correct answer is "no".

    Conditioning exercises improve muscle flexibility and _______.

    Correct Answer
    increase injuries
    make it hard to reach your THR
    strength
    Explanation
    Conditioning exercises improve muscle flexibility and strength. However, they can also increase the risk of injuries if not performed correctly or without proper warm-up. Additionally, these exercises can make it hard to reach your Target Heart Rate (THR) if they are not intense enough or if they focus more on flexibility rather than cardiovascular endurance.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Stretching improves what?

    Correct Answer
    weight
    flexibility
    endurance
    Explanation
    Stretching improves weight, flexibility, and endurance. Stretching helps to increase muscle flexibility, allowing for a greater range of motion and improved overall flexibility. It also helps to improve endurance by increasing blood flow and oxygen supply to the muscles, reducing fatigue and improving performance. Additionally, regular stretching can aid in weight management by promoting better posture, reducing muscle tension, and increasing calorie burn during physical activity.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Conditioning exercises improve

    • Flexibility

    • Limited movement

    • Smoking

    • Strength

    • Endurance

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Flexibility
    A. Strength
    A. Endurance
    Explanation
    Conditioning exercises, such as stretching and resistance training, can improve flexibility by increasing the range of motion in joints and muscles. These exercises also help to strengthen the muscles, which in turn improves overall strength. Additionally, conditioning exercises help to build endurance by increasing cardiovascular fitness and stamina. Therefore, the correct answer includes flexibility, strength, and endurance as these are all benefits that can be achieved through conditioning exercises.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What exercise builds muscle strength and endurance?

    • Resistance

    • Stretching

    • Walking

    Correct Answer
    A. Resistance
    Explanation
    Resistance exercise is the correct answer because it involves using weights, resistance bands, or bodyweight to create resistance against the muscles. This type of exercise helps to build muscle strength and endurance by challenging the muscles to overcome resistance, leading to muscle growth and increased stamina. Stretching and walking, although beneficial for overall health and fitness, do not specifically target muscle strength and endurance like resistance exercises do.

    For females to be in the healthy zone their body fat %  should be about what range?

    • 7- 18 %

    • 28- 36 %

    • 18- 28 %

    • 10- 15 %

    Correct Answer
    A. 18- 28 %
    Explanation
    Females should have a body fat percentage in the range of 18-28% to be considered in the healthy zone. This range allows for a balance between essential fat, which is necessary for normal bodily functions, and storage fat. Having too little body fat can lead to health issues such as hormonal imbalances and decreased bone density, while having too much body fat can increase the risk of obesity-related diseases. Therefore, maintaining a body fat percentage within the 18-28% range is ideal for overall health and well-being.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    If you don't feel pain while exercising then your not making a difference.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Exercising does not necessarily have to be painful in order to be effective. Pain during exercise can indicate an injury or overexertion, but it is not a requirement for making a difference in your fitness level. Many forms of exercise, such as low-impact activities or stretching, may not cause pain but can still provide benefits like improved flexibility, cardiovascular health, and muscle strength. Therefore, the statement "If you don't feel pain while exercising then you're not making a difference" is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Women who lift weights will get bulky muscles.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because women who lift weights will not automatically get bulky muscles. Building bulky muscles requires a combination of factors such as genetics, high levels of testosterone, specific training programs, and a calorie surplus. Women typically have lower levels of testosterone compared to men, which makes it more difficult for them to gain significant muscle mass. Additionally, weightlifting can actually help women improve their strength, tone their muscles, and increase their metabolism without necessarily making them bulky.

    • Smoke

    Correct Answer
    A. Don't eat as much animal fats and cholesterol
    Explanation
    Eating saturated fats and cholesterol is known to increase the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). Therefore, it is important to avoid consuming such foods in order to prevent CAD. Controlling blood pressure and not smoking are also crucial in reducing the risk of developing CAD. However, the statement "don't eat as much animal fats and cholesterol" suggests that reducing the intake of animal fats and cholesterol is not necessary to avoid CAD, which is incorrect.

    The word "aerobic" is derived from the Greek word "aer" meaning air or oxygen. It refers to any activity or exercise that requires the use of oxygen to produce energy. Therefore, the correct answer is "with oxygen" as it accurately describes the meaning of the term "aerobic". Additionally, "stretching" and "endurance" are not synonymous with the term "aerobic" and do not accurately represent its meaning.

    Correct Answer
    A. 7- 18 %
    Explanation
    Boys should have a body fat percentage ranging from 7-18% to be considered in the healthy zone. This range ensures that they have an adequate amount of body fat for normal physiological functions, while also maintaining a healthy weight and reducing the risk of obesity-related health issues. Having too low or too high body fat percentages can lead to various health problems, so it is important for boys to strive for a percentage within this range.
