    Frequency refers to how

    • Fast you exercise

    • Often you exercise

    • Long you exercise

    • Hard you exercise

    Correct Answer
    A. Often you exercise
    Explanation
    Frequency refers to how often you exercise. It is a measure of how frequently or regularly you engage in physical activity. The more often you exercise, the higher the frequency. This is an important aspect of exercise as regularity plays a key role in achieving fitness goals and maintaining overall health. By exercising often, you can improve cardiovascular endurance, build strength, and enhance flexibility. It also helps in managing weight, reducing the risk of chronic diseases, and improving mental well-being.

    • Changing from running to tennis

    • Starting fast to improve quickly.

    • Slowly increasing the amount of exercise.

    Correct Answer
    A. Slowly increasing the amount of exercise.
    Explanation
    Progression refers to gradually increasing the intensity, duration, or frequency of exercise over time. This allows the body to adapt and improve its fitness level without risking injury or overexertion. Slowly increasing the amount of exercise ensures a gradual and sustainable progression towards achieving fitness goals.

    Applying the principle of specificity means that you can increase leg strength by doing a pull-up.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The principle of specificity states that training should be specific to the desired outcome. In this case, doing a pull-up primarily targets the muscles in the upper body, particularly the back and arms, rather than the leg muscles. Therefore, doing a pull-up would not directly increase leg strength. Hence, the statement is false.

    If you increase the length of time of your excersice session, you are likely to decrease the level of intensity.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Increasing the length of time of an exercise session typically leads to a decrease in the level of intensity. This is because as the duration of the exercise session increases, the body may not be able to sustain the same level of intensity for a longer period of time. Therefore, it is common for individuals to decrease the intensity in order to maintain the exercise session for a longer duration.

    When you increase the workload of your training session, you are increasing

    • Frequency

    • Intensity

    • Specificity

    • Time

    Correct Answer
    A. Intensity
    Explanation
    Increasing the workload of a training session refers to increasing the level of difficulty or effort required during the session. This can be achieved by increasing the intensity of the exercises or activities performed. By increasing the intensity, individuals are challenging their muscles and cardiovascular system to work harder, which can lead to greater improvements in strength, endurance, and overall fitness. Increasing the intensity of a training session is a common method used to progress and continue seeing results in a fitness program.

    When you increase the length of your workout, you are increasing

    • Frequency

    • Time

    • Intensity

    • Specificity

    Correct Answer
    A. Time
    Explanation
    When you increase the length of your workout, you are increasing the amount of time you spend exercising. This means that you are extending the duration of your workout session, allowing for more physical activity and potential benefits such as increased calorie burn, improved endurance, and enhanced cardiovascular fitness. Increasing the time spent in a workout can also provide more opportunities for muscle strengthening and flexibility exercises, leading to overall improvements in physical health and fitness levels.

    When starting a physical fitness program, you do not need to consider your present fitness level?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    When starting a physical fitness program, it is important to consider your present fitness level. This is because your current fitness level will determine the appropriate intensity, duration, and type of exercises that you should engage in. Considering your present fitness level allows you to set realistic goals, prevent injuries, and gradually progress in your fitness journey. Therefore, the statement "you do not need to consider your present fitness level" is incorrect.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    People who are considered overweight or out of shape may need to decrease the intensity of their workouts and the length of their exercise sessions. This is because their bodies may not be accustomed to high-intensity exercises and longer durations of physical activity. By gradually decreasing the intensity and duration, they can avoid potential injuries and allow their bodies to adapt and improve over time.

    • None of the above

    Explanation
    Overload refers to the practice of gradually increasing the intensity or load of a workout or training program in order to continue making progress and gaining strength. The Legendary Milo of Crotona, known for his incredible strength, likely applied the principle of overload by progressively lifting heavier weights or engaging in more challenging physical activities over time. This consistent increase in intensity would have stimulated his muscles to adapt and grow stronger, ultimately leading to his legendary strength.
