How many minutes of moderate–vigorous physical activity should 5–17 year olds get each day?
60+ minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day
Which scale rates intensity from 1–10 based on how it feels?
RPE Scale
Practicing one skill repeatedly over a long period of time is called?
Blocked practice
Which energy system uses phosphocreatine as its primary fuel source?
ATP-PC system
What do the initials FITT stand for?
Frequency
Intensity
Time
Type
Name one of the Gallagher brothers from the band Oasis.
Liam or Noel
What term describes sitting or lying with very low energy use (e.g., scrolling TikTok for 4 hours)?
Sedentary Behaviour
Explain the difference between objective and subjective measures
Objective are data driven, subjective are personal responses.
Which stage is a performer in when they are improving and making fewer errors?
Associative stage
Which macronutrient is the primary fuel source for both the anaerobic glycolysis and aerobic systems during most exercise?
Carbohydrates (glucose/glycogen)
If an athlete begins training more times per week, which part of the FITT principle are they changing?
Frequency
Who won the 2025 World Series?
LA Dodgers
What is the screen time limit for 5-17 year olds?
No more than 2 hours
Why can subjective logs be inaccurate?
Users can exaggerate, or forget
When a skill is broken down into smaller components to learn it more easily is called ______ practice?
Part
What is the main fatiguing factor for the anaerobic glycoloysis system?
Hydrogen ions, Lactic acid
Give an example of an increase in Intensity in a training program - what's one way you could measure it?
Heart rate increase, RPE increase, more weight. Heart rate monitor, RPE etc.
Who's hosting the 2026 Fifa World Cup
Americas
How many days a week should 5-17 year olds be engaging in muscle strengthening activities? (eg. going to the gym)
3 days per week
Why would we use heart rate data alongside RPE?
What do we call feedback that occurs at the conclusion of a skill or exercise?
Terminal feedback
During a 90-minute soccer match, a player begins to slow down in the second half.
Their pace drops, but they can still continue playing.
What is the most likely cause of fatigue, and how does it impact aerobic energy production?
They are experiencing glycogen depletion in the aerobic system.
As muscle glycogen runs low, the body shifts to fat as the primary fuel, which produces ATP more slowly, leading to reduced intensity and slower movement.
Which training type features exercises that use the stretch-shortening cycle to improve power, strength, and speed.
Plyometric training
What is the capital of Finland?
Helsinki
Name one personal, one social, and one environmental factor that can affect physical activity.
Personal: motivation, confidence, time, enjoyment
Social: family support, peer influence, team involvement
Environmental: access to facilities, weather, safety, transport
A student records 12,000 steps on their fitness tracker, but their heart rate data shows that most of their day was spent at low intensity.
What does this tell us about the limitations of step count as a measure of physical activity?
Pedometers are not effective in tracking intensity
Define knowledge of performance, giving an example
Knowledge of performance is feedback about how the movement was performed, focusing on technique, movement quality, and execution, rather than whether the result was successful.
A hockey midfielder performs repeated 6–8 second sprints with short rests in between. Which energy system is repeatedly being depleted and restored, and what recovery is needed to restore it?
Which training method involves random changes in running pace or intensity throughout the session and is commonly used to improve aerobic capacity?
Fartlek training.
Name a male or female winner of the 2025 Australian Open
Victoria Sabalenka or Jannik Sinner
