Pre Screening
What is the primary purpose of a pre-exercise questionnaire (e.g. PAR-Q+)?
A. To measure aerobic capacity
B. To identify health risks and medical conditions
C. To track exercise adherence
D. To establish training intensity
B. To identify health risks and medical conditions
→ The PAR-Q+ (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) is used to identify any health risks before exercise begins.
VWhat is the difference between linear motion and angular motion, and provide a sporting example of each?
Linear motion occurs when a body moves in a straight or curved line, with all parts moving in the same direction at the same speed (e.g. a sprinter running 100m).
Angular motion occurs when a body or object moves around an axis or rotation point (e.g. a gymnast performing a somersault).
What is the difference between an agonist and an antagonist muscle during movement? Provide an example.
The agonist is the prime mover responsible for the action.
The antagonist opposes the movement and relaxes to allow motion.
Example: During elbow flexion, the biceps brachii is the agonist and the triceps brachii is the antagonist.

2. Which of the following best explains why health screening is important?
A. To ensure equal opportunity for all clients
B. To motivate participants to train more often
C. To prevent serious medical events and injuries
D. To reduce the cost of training programs
C. To prevent serious medical events and injuries
→ Health screening ensures safety and helps prevent medical emergencies during physical activity.
Explain how widening the base of support can improve an athlete’s stability during performance. Provide an example from a sport of your choice.
Widening the base of support increases stability by lowering the body’s centre of gravity and distributing weight more evenly, making it harder to topple.
Example: A basketball player widens their stance to stay balanced while defending.
What are the three main types of muscle tissue found in the human body?
Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle.
Where is the next summer olympics country and city
America and LA
A fitness professional’s duty of care includes:
A. Recording training data for research studies
B. Screening clients and obtaining informed consent
C. Providing medical diagnoses
D. Guaranteeing athletic success
B. Screening clients and obtaining informed consent
→ Duty of care includes ensuring clients are safe and aware of potential risks.
How does drag affect a swimmer’s performance, and what techniques can be used to minimise it?
Drag is the resistance caused by water against a swimmer’s movement, slowing them down.
To minimise drag, swimmers streamline their body position, wear tight swimwear, and keep smooth, efficient movements through the water.
Name the bones that articulate at the knee joint and identify the type of joint movement that occurs there.
Bones: Femur, tibia, and patella.
Movement: Flexion and extension (hinge joint).

4. When designing a training routine for a client, the most important factor to consider first is:
A. Access to gym equipment
B. The client’s goals and limitations
C. Availability of training partners
D. Preferred type of sport
B. The client’s goals and limitations
→ Programs must be tailored to the individual’s needs, goals, and physical capabilities.
Describe how the application of force affects motion, using the example of kicking a soccer ball.
The greater the force applied to the ball, the greater its acceleration and distance travelled (Newton’s 2nd Law). The direction of the force determines the ball’s trajectory.
Explain how the structure of skeletal muscle enables force production during movement.
Skeletal muscle contains bundles of fibres made up of myofibrils, which contain actin and myosin filaments. When stimulated, these filaments slide past each other (the sliding filament theory), shortening the muscle and generating force.
