Cardiovascular
Which component of fitness measures the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen during sustained activity
Cardiovascular endurance
Which of the following is an example of muscular strength from the quiz?
Bench pressing your maximum weight once
Dynamic stretching should be performed when?
Before activity to warm up
In basketball, what constitutes a traveling violation?
A player moves without dribbling
Which fitness principle states that to improve, you must challenge the body beyond its normal level?
Overload
How many minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity are recommended for teenagers each day?
60 Minutes
True/False: Muscular endurance refers to the ability of muscles to exert force for a short period of time.
False — that's muscular strength; muscular endurance is sustained/repeated contractions over time
True/False: Stretching should only be done by athletes, not everyday individuals.
False
In volleyball, how many hits does a team have to return the ball over the net?
3
What does SMART stand for in goal‑setting?
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound
Name one example of an activity that typically improves cardiovascular endurance
running, swimming, cycling, brisk walking
Give one classroom-safe test or activity that assesses muscular endurance (no equipment required)
timed plank hold, number of push-ups in 1 minute, wall-sit hold
Name two reasons warm-ups (including dynamic stretching) help prevent injury
increase joint mobility, raise muscle temperature, improve neuromuscular activation
In soccer, which body part is a player NOT allowed to use (except the goalie inside the box)?
Hands
What is Body Mass Index (BMI) best described as from the quiz?
A ratio of height to weight
True/False: Walking at a brisk pace can count toward daily physical activity.
True
True/False: Students should always lift the heaviest weight possible to gain muscle.
False — progressive overload with good form and safety is important.
What is the best drink choice for hydration during physical activity?
Water
True/False: Good sportsmanship includes respecting referees and opponents
True
True/False: Playing video games counts as moderate physical activity.
False
Describe why warm-ups and cardiovascular activity before practice help performance and safety.
increase heart rate, raise muscle temperature, improve blood flow, reduce injury risk, and prepare body for sustained activity
Explain the difference between muscular strength and muscular endurance and give one sport example where each is most important.
muscular strength = max force for short duration — e.g., shot put
muscular endurance = repeated contractions over time — e.g., soccer midfielders
Describe an appropriate cool-down routine after intense PE (include stretching and safety points)
light aerobic cool-down 5–10 min, static stretching for major muscle groups, rehydrate, monitor for dizziness — emphasize gradual recovery
Scenario question:
A volleyball rally — team A contacts the ball 4 times before sending it over the net. Is this legal? Explain the rule and the call
Illegal — a team may make at most 33 consecutive contacts; fourth contact results in a side-out/point to opponent
Short-answer: Create one SMART fitness goal suitable for a 9th‑grade student aiming to improve cardiovascular endurance over 8 weeks.
Example answer: "I will jog for 2020 minutes at a moderate pace, 4 days per week, increasing to 35 minutes by week 8,"
