aerobic class?
A. Phosphagen system
B. Glycolytic system
C. Oxidative system

The oxidative system supports long-duration, moderate-intensity
activity like aerobic classes by utilizing oxygen to produce ATP.
2. Which of the following is an appropriate warm-up activity for a group
exercise class?
A. Sprinting
B. Static stretching
C. Dynamic range-of-motion movements
D. Powerlifting
Dynamic movements increase heart rate and prepare muscles and

A. 90-100 BPM
B. 118-128 BPM
C. 140-150 BPM
D. 160-180 BPM

match movement speed safely.
4. Which of the following best defines "cardiorespiratory endurance"?
A. Ability to stretch muscles
B. Ability to sustain aerobic activity over time
C. Ability to perform anaerobic tasks
D. Ability to gain muscle mass
Cardiorespiratory endurance reflects the efficiency of the heart,
