Content and Design- Questions
and Answers 100% Pass
What disciplines combined create the foundation for physical education? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Human Movement and Physical Fitness (motor and health-
related); and is based on the following disciplines: motor learning, motor
development, kinesiology, biomechanics, exercise physiology, sport psychology,
sport sociology, and aesthetics.
What is kinesiology? - CORRECT ANSWER-The study of human body
movement and its mechanics
What is the relationship between kinesiology and biomechanics? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Kinesiology and biomechanics work together to help determine what
exercises a person should do, how the workouts should be conducted and how
effective the exercise is and if the exercise is safe.
How does an understanding of kinesiology help a person to teach physical
education? - CORRECT ANSWER-An understanding of kinesiology can guide
,teachers in helping their students decide what workout would be best for each
student.
How do movement concepts impact students' ability to learn? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Recent finding have linked movement to both cognitive skill and
emotional health and well being. Children who have higher self-esteem are much
more likely to learn better and also develop better social skills.
What is the overall importance of exercise physiology in relation to physical
education? - CORRECT ANSWER-It is what happens to the body as it exercises a
single time, how these changes are brought about, what changes in function occur
after repeated bouts of exercise and how these changes come to pass, and finally,
what can be done to improve the body's response to exercise and its adaptation to
training.
How does the body react to exercise? - CORRECT ANSWER-An acute/short
term change in the body due to exercise
Ex.) HR goes up, sweating
What are the components of exercise physiology? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Cardiovascular Endurance.
Muscular Strength.
Muscular endurance.
Flexibility.

,Body Composition.
How can an understanding of exercise physiology contribute to lifelong fitness? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Understanding exercise physiology is understanding all of
the benefits your body gains from exercise, different methods of exercise, how to
create an exercise plan, etc.
What are the different types of exercise a person can engage in? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Aerobic, anaerobic, isometric, isotonic, isokinetic
What are the body systems and how do they interact? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Circulatory/Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Nervous, Digestive, Muscular, and
Skeletal. They all interact to help our body operate and survive.
What are the current trends in teaching physical education? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Teaching to promote life-long fitness and health
What are the important theories in fitness and physical education? - CORRECT
ANSWER-
What are the different teaching methods physical education teachers can use? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Command, Practice, Reciprocal, Task, Guided Discovery,
Problem Solving, and Exploration
How are games and activities categorized? - CORRECT ANSWER-Invasion
Games, Target Games, Net and Wall Games, Striking and Fielding Games,
, Chasing and Fleeing Games, Fundamental Movement Skill Games, Cooperation
Games, Health and Fitness Games
What is the basic idea of a given sport? - CORRECT ANSWER-A competitive
activity in which you are competing against one or multiple participants and
enhancing physical abilities
What are Bloom's Taxonomy Learning Domains and how do they affect the design
of instruction? - CORRECT ANSWER-the cognitive - focused on intellectual
skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and creating a knowledge base
affective - focuses on the attitudes, values, interests, and appreciation of learners
psychomotor - encompasses the ability of learners to physically accomplish tasks
and perform movement and skills
anatomy and physiology - CORRECT ANSWER-Structure or function of the
body/ working system
exercise physiology - CORRECT ANSWER-focuses on the changes in function
and structure caused by exercise
biomechanics - CORRECT ANSWER-A study that uses principals of physics to
quantitatively study how forces interact within a living body.
motor learning - CORRECT ANSWER-Repeated practice of motor control
processes, which lead to a change in the ability to produce complex movements.
