  • 2. 

    Bouncing is the best way to stretch the muscles.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Bouncing is not the best way to stretch the muscles because it can lead to injury. Stretching should be done in a controlled and gradual manner to avoid straining the muscles. Bouncing or "ballistic stretching" involves using momentum to push the muscles beyond their normal range of motion, which can cause muscle tears or strains. It is recommended to perform static stretching, where the muscles are stretched and held for a period of time, as it is a safer and more effective way to stretch the muscles.

    A fitness test that measures the ability to flex the trunk.

    • Static stretching

    • Sit-and-reach-test

    • Dynamic stretching

    • Shoulder flexibility

    Correct Answer
    A. Sit-and-reach-test
    Explanation
    The sit-and-reach test is a fitness test that measures an individual's ability to flex their trunk. This test involves sitting on the floor with legs extended and reaching forward towards the toes. It assesses the flexibility of the lower back and hamstring muscles. Static stretching, dynamic stretching, and shoulder flexibility are not specifically related to measuring the ability to flex the trunk, making the sit-and-reach test the correct answer.

    Dynamic Stretching that involves moving the joints through the full range of motion to mimic a movement used in a sport or exercise.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Dynamic stretching involves moving the joints through the full range of motion to mimic a movement used in a sport or exercise. This type of stretching helps to increase flexibility, improve muscle coordination, and prepare the body for physical activity. Unlike static stretching, where a stretch is held for a prolonged period of time, dynamic stretching involves continuous movement, which helps to warm up the muscles and increase blood flow. Therefore, the given answer "True" is correct as it accurately describes dynamic stretching and its benefits.

    Stretching that slowly lengthens a muscle to a point where further movement is limited.

    Correct Answer
    Static stretching
    Explanation
    Static stretching involves holding a stretch in a fixed position for a prolonged period of time, gradually lengthening the muscle. This type of stretching helps to increase flexibility and improve range of motion. By holding the stretch, the muscle is gradually elongated, reaching a point where further movement becomes limited. This can help to improve muscle flexibility and prevent injury.
