Kinesiology, Nutrition and
Health KNH 188 Bundled Test 1, 2 & 3
FINALE EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED AND RATIONALE ANSWERS
2025/2026
QUICK SUMMARY QUESTIONS
Test 1 (Questions 1-20)
1. What is the definition of kinesiology?
a. Answer: The scientific study of human
movement.
b. Rationale: Kinesiology focuses on
movement, biomechanics, anatomy,
physiology of motion.
2. Which nutrient is considered the primary energy
source for high-intensity exercise?
, a. Answer: Carbohydrates.
b. Rationale: Carbs provide quick ATP via
glycolysis and are key when intensity is
high.
3. Which body system is most directly involved in
coordinating muscle contraction?
a. Answer: Nervous system
b. Rationale: Motor neurons,
neuromuscular junctions, and activation of
muscle fibres are controlled by the nervous
system.
4. What is the recommended minimum amount of
moderate-intensity physical activity per week
for adults by WHO?
a. Answer: 150 minutes.
b. Rationale: The World Health Organization
recommends at least 150 minutes of
moderate PA weekly for health benefits.
5. Which macronutrient is essential for tissue
repair and growth?
, a. Answer: Protein.
b. Rationale: Proteins provide amino acids
required for repair of muscle, connective
tissue, and overall growth.
6. What is BMI an abbreviation for?
a. Answer: Body Mass Index.
b. Rationale: BMI = weight (kg) / height (m²);
used as an indicator of body fatness.
7. Which mineral is critical for oxygen transport in
the blood?
a. Answer: Iron.
b. Rationale: Iron is a key component of
haemoglobin and myoglobin which
transport oxygen.
8. In kinesiology, what is the term for the study of
the bones, joints and their movements?
a. Answer: Biomechanics / Osteology
(bones) and Arthrology (joints).
b. Rationale: Biomechanics covers
mechanical aspects of movement;
osteology and arthrology are sub-fields for
bones/joints.
