    Which food has the most protein?

    • A Steak

    • A Bagel

    • Coca Cola

    • Lettuce

    Correct Answer
    A. A Steak
    Explanation
    A steak has the most protein compared to the other options listed. Steak is a good source of high-quality protein, containing essential amino acids that are important for muscle growth and repair. On the other hand, a bagel, Coca Cola, and lettuce are not significant sources of protein. While they may contain some protein, their protein content is much lower compared to a steak.

    Which body part is part of the respiratory system and helps breathing when running

    • Heart

    • Lung

    • Knee

    • Ear

    Correct Answer
    A. Lung
    Explanation
    The lungs are part of the respiratory system and play a crucial role in breathing. When running, the body requires more oxygen, and the lungs help to take in oxygen from the air and remove carbon dioxide from the body. They expand and contract to facilitate the exchange of gases, allowing for efficient breathing during physical activity. The heart also plays a role in delivering oxygen to the muscles, but it is not directly involved in the process of breathing.

    Which is a cardio exercise?

    • Lunges

    • Planks

    • Pushups

    • Jumping Rope

    Correct Answer
    A. Jumping Rope
    Explanation
    Jumping Rope is considered a cardio exercise because it involves continuous and repetitive movements that increase heart rate and respiration. It helps to improve cardiovascular endurance, burn calories, and strengthen the heart and lungs. Unlike lunges, planks, and pushups, which mainly focus on strength and muscle building, jumping rope involves full-body movements that engage multiple muscle groups and provide a more intense aerobic workout. Therefore, Jumping Rope is the correct answer as it specifically targets cardiovascular fitness.

    A standard nutrition label shows Percent Daily Values based on a reference diet of how many calories?

    • 1000

    • 2000

    • 6000

    • 4000

    Correct Answer
    A. 2000
    Explanation
    A standard nutrition label shows Percent Daily Values based on a reference diet of 2000 calories. This means that the percentages listed on the label represent the amount of nutrients in one serving of the food item in relation to a 2000-calorie diet. This reference diet is commonly used as a general guideline for daily calorie intake for the average adult.

    How are treadmills different from elliptical machines?

    • They are the same

    • Treadmills have a timer

    • On Treadmills you run on a flat surface

    • Elliptical Machines are harder on your knees

    Correct Answer
    A. On Treadmills you run on a flat surface
    Explanation
    Treadmills and elliptical machines are different because on treadmills you run on a flat surface. This means that when using a treadmill, the user is running or walking on a surface that is parallel to the ground. In contrast, elliptical machines have a different motion that mimics the movement of running or walking but without the impact of the feet hitting a flat surface. Therefore, the answer correctly highlights the distinction between the two types of exercise equipment.

    What should you drink after a run?

    • Milk

    • Coca Cola

    • Water

    • Whiskey

    Correct Answer
    A. Water
    Explanation
    Water is the best choice to drink after a run because it helps rehydrate the body and replenish the fluids lost through sweat. It is essential for maintaining proper bodily functions and preventing dehydration. Milk, Coca Cola, and whiskey are not suitable options as they may contain high amounts of sugar, caffeine, or alcohol, which can hinder the body's recovery process after exercise.

    Running is faster than skipping

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Running is generally considered to be a faster mode of transportation compared to skipping. When someone runs, they cover a greater distance in a shorter amount of time compared to when they skip. Running involves a faster pace and longer strides, allowing individuals to move quickly. On the other hand, skipping involves a hopping motion that is generally slower than running. Therefore, it can be concluded that running is indeed faster than skipping.
