o D) Occupational
Rationale: Physical wellness focuses on maintaining a healthy body through exercise, nutrition, and rest.
4. Light physical activity can increase your risk for hip arthritis.
o A) True
o B) False
Rationale: Regular light to moderate activity actually preserves joint health and mobility.

6. In the Transtheoretical Model, “Contemplation” is the stage where a person:
o A) Has already changed behavior for more than 6 months
o B) Takes active steps toward change
o C) Is thinking about making a behavior change

7. The first step in managing an acute ankle sprain is:
o A) Heat and massage
o B) Rest and ice
o C) Immediate weight-bearing
o D) Electrical stimulation
Rationale: RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) reduces swelling and pain.
8. The weekly recommendation for vigorous physical activity is:
o A) 30 minutes
o B) 75 minutes
o C) 150 minutes
o D) 300 minutes

o D) 300 minutes
Rationale: At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity is recommended.
10. With regular cardiovascular training, resting heart rate typically:
, ESTUDYR
o A) Increases
o B) Remains the same
o C) Decreases
o D) Becomes irregular
Rationale: Improved stroke volume leads to fewer beats needed at rest.
11. The exercise principle that requires progressively increasing workload is called:
o A) Specificity
o B) Reversibility
o C) Overload
o D) Individuality
Rationale: Overload means challenging the body beyond its current capacity to spur adaptation.

o A) 1st (0–9 years)
o B) 2nd (10–19 years)
o C) 3rd (20–29 years)
o D) 4th (30–39 years)
Rationale: Flexibility peaks in adolescence and declines in the third decade without stretching.
13. Setting a series of small goals toward a larger objective is known as:
o A) Chunking
o B) Scaffolding
o C) Shaping
o D) Fading
