1Which statement BEST defines health according to a modern wellness view?
A.Only the absence of disease or injury
B.A complete state of physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease
C.Being able to lift heavy weights
D.Having a high body mass index
Explanation: Modern health education defines health as physical, mental, and social well-being, not only freedom from illness. Strength or body size alone does not define health. Focusing only on disease misses lifestyle, relationships, and emotional balance that support everyday functioning.
2Which dimension of wellness focuses on managing stress, emotions, and positive thinking?
A.Physical wellness
B.Social wellness
C.Emotional (mental) wellness
D.Occupational wellness
Explanation: Emotional or mental wellness includes awareness of feelings, coping skills, and a generally positive outlook. Physical wellness covers body systems and fitness; social wellness covers healthy relationships; occupational wellness relates to work or study satisfaction. All dimensions interact, but stress and emotion management are primarily emotional.
3According to WHO guidance for children and adolescents (about 5–17 years), how much moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity is recommended on average?
A.10 minutes per day
B.At least an average of 60 minutes per day across the week
C.5 hours of continuous vigorous exercise daily
D.No activity if academic work is heavy
Explanation: WHO recommends that children and adolescents average at least 60 minutes per day of moderate- to vigorous-intensity, mostly aerobic activity across the week. Very short daily totals are usually insufficient; extreme continuous sessions are not required and may be unsafe without proper training and rest.
4Sedentary behaviour is BEST described as:
A.Any activity done outdoors
B.Low-energy sitting or reclining activities such as prolonged sitting while studying or using screens
C.Only sleeping at night
D.High-intensity sports only
Explanation: Sedentary behaviour means waking activities with very low energy cost while sitting or reclining, such as long screen time or desk work without breaks. Sleep is separate. Outdoor activity and sports are usually active, not sedentary. Reducing unbroken sedentary time supports health even when people exercise sometimes.
5Which lifestyle habit MOST clearly supports long-term wellness for school students?
A.Skipping sleep to study every night
B.Balanced diet, regular activity, adequate sleep, and stress management
C.Consuming energy drinks instead of meals
D.Avoiding all outdoor play
Explanation: Wellness rests on multiple daily habits: nutritious food, movement, sleep, and healthy stress coping. Chronic sleep loss, meal-replacing stimulants, and total inactivity undermine concentration, immunity, and mood. Balanced routines outperform extreme short-term study tactics.
6Which of the following is a health-related component of physical fitness?
A.Cardiorespiratory endurance
B.Reaction time only as a skill
C.Uniform colour of sports kit
D.Team logo design
Explanation: Health-related fitness commonly includes cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Reaction time is usually classified as skill-related. Kit colour and logos are equipment aesthetics, not fitness components.
7Muscular strength is BEST defined as the ability to:
A.Stretch joints through a full range of motion
B.Exert maximum force against a resistance in a single effort
C.Run continuously for a long distance without rest
D.Change direction quickly while sprinting
Explanation: Muscular strength is the maximum force a muscle or muscle group can produce in one effort, such as a heavy lift. Flexibility is range of motion; cardiorespiratory endurance supports long continuous work; agility relates to quick direction changes (skill-related).
8Muscular endurance differs from muscular strength mainly because endurance focuses on:
A.How much force can be produced once
B.How long or how many times a muscle can work against resistance without fatigue
C.How flexible a joint is
D.How tall a person is
Explanation: Muscular endurance is the ability to sustain repeated contractions or hold a contraction over time. Strength emphasizes a single maximum effort. Flexibility and height are different traits and do not define endurance.
9Flexibility is BEST improved by regular practice of:
A.Safe stretching and mobility exercises after warm-up
B.Only heavy weightlifting with no mobility work
C.Complete rest with no movement
D.Holding the breath for long periods
Explanation: Flexibility improves with progressive, controlled stretching and mobility work when muscles are warm. Heavy lifting alone does not guarantee joint range; inactivity reduces mobility; breath-holding is not a flexibility method and can be unsafe if forced.
10Body composition in fitness refers mainly to:
A.Hair colour and eye colour
B.The relative amounts of fat mass and fat-free mass (such as muscle and bone) in the body
C.The number of sports medals won
D.Shoe size only
Explanation: Body composition describes proportions of fat and fat-free tissues that influence health risk and performance. Appearance traits, medals, and shoe size are not measures of body composition.
