1Which major bone in the human skeleton forms the main upper arm bone structure?
A.Humerus
B.Femur
C.Radius
D.Tibia
Explanation: The humerus is the long bone located in the upper arm, running from the shoulder joint down to the elbow joint. The femur is in the thigh, while the radius and tibia are located in the forearm and lower leg respectively.
2Which tissue connects skeletal muscle directly to bone to enable body movement?
A.Ligament
B.Tendon
C.Cartilage
D.Synovial membrane
Explanation: Tendons are tough, fibrous connective tissues that attach muscle to bone. When muscles contract, they pull on tendons, which move the associated bones.
3Which type of muscle tissue is under voluntary control and attached to bones?
A.Smooth muscle
B.Cardiac muscle
C.Skeletal muscle
D.Involuntary muscle
Explanation: Skeletal muscle is voluntary muscle that can be consciously controlled to execute movements such as running, jumping, and throwing. Smooth and cardiac muscles are involuntary.
4What term describes the movement of bending a joint to decrease the angle between two bones?
A.Extension
B.Flexion
C.Abduction
D.Adduction
Explanation: Flexion is a bending movement around a joint that decreases the angle between the participating bones, such as bending the elbow during a bicep curl. Extension increases the joint angle.
5Which heart chamber pumps oxygenated blood out to the rest of the body through the aorta?
A.Right atrium
B.Right ventricle
C.Left atrium

6In which tiny air sacs of the lungs does gaseous exchange take place?
A.Bronchi
B.Bronchioles
C.Alveoli
D.Trachea
Explanation: Alveoli are microscopic, balloon-like air sacs surrounded by capillaries where oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out.
7Which component of health-related fitness refers to the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen during sustained exercise?
A.Muscular endurance
B.Cardiovascular endurance
C.Flexibility
D.Body composition
Explanation: Cardiovascular endurance is the capacity of the heart, blood vessels, and lungs to efficiently transport oxygen to working muscles during prolonged physical activity.
8Which component of skill-related fitness allows an athlete to change direction rapidly while maintaining balance and control?
A.Agility
B.Power
C.Reaction time
D.Flexibility
Explanation: Agility is the skill-related fitness component defined as the ability to move and change direction quickly and accurately under control.
9In the FITT principle of training, what does the letter 'I' stand for?
A.Interval
B.Intensity
C.Increase
D.Individual
Explanation: In the FITT acronym, 'I' stands for Intensity, which measures how hard the body works during exercise (e.g., target heart rate, speed, or resistance).
10Which training principle states that training adaptations will gradually diminish if exercise is stopped or reduced?
A.Overload
B.Specificity
C.Reversibility
D.Progression
Explanation: The principle of reversibility states that fitness improvements gained through training decline when physical activity stops or is significantly decreased.
