What is physical fitness? The ability to carry out physical activity
satisfactorily.
Name the components of health- Muscular strength, muscular endurance,
related fitness. cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility, body
composition.
What does muscular endurance refer The ability to perform repeated contractions over
to? time.
What is VO2max? The maximum rate of oxygen consumption
measured during incremental exercise.
Define anaerobic fitness. The ability to perform short bursts of high-intensity
activity.
What is the significance of the It measures peak power and mean power during
Wingate test? anaerobic exercise.
What does flexibility measure? The range of motion (ROM) of joints.
What is body composition? The ratio of fat to lean mass in the body.
, What is the formula for calculating F = M x a (Force equals mass times acceleration).

What is the difference between The independent variable is manipulated to
independent and dependent observe its effect on the dependent variable,
variables? which is measured.
What does reliability in testing refer The reproducibility of a test's results under similar
to? conditions.
Define validity in the context of a The extent to which a test measures what it claims

What is calibration in measurement The process of verifying the accuracy of measuring
terms? instruments.
What are field tests used for? To assess a variety of fitness levels in practical
settings.
