    • Slowly increasing the amount of exercise.

    Correct Answer
    A. Slowly increasing the amount of exercise.
    Explanation
    Progression means slowly increasing the amount of exercise. This refers to the gradual and systematic increase in the intensity, duration, or frequency of physical activity over time. It allows the body to adapt and become stronger, reducing the risk of injury and maximizing the benefits of exercise. Starting easy and going for a long period of time, changing from running to tennis, or starting fast to improve quickly are not accurate definitions of progression.

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False

Stretching before physical activity helps to warm up the muscles, increase flexibility, and improve performance. It allows the muscles to loosen up and prepares them for the demands of the activity. Skipping the stretching phase can lead to muscle strains, sprains, and other injuries. Therefore, it is important to stretch before engaging in any physical activity to prevent injury.
