A.A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
B.The ability to perform daily physical tasks without undue fatigue
C.The complete absence of illness and physical disability
D.A condition of high physical strength and athletic capability
Explanation: The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its 1948 constitution as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, emphasizing holistic wellness rather than just freedom from disease.
2Which of the following is considered a health-related component of physical fitness?
A.Cardiovascular endurance
B.Reaction time
C.Agility
D.Speed
Explanation: Cardiovascular endurance is a primary health-related fitness component because it directly affects long-term heart and lung health and overall mortality risk.
3What postural deformity is characterized by an excessive outward curvature of the thoracic spine, leading to a round-backed appearance?
A.Kyphosis
B.Lordosis
C.Scoliosis
D.Genu valgum
Explanation: Kyphosis refers to an abnormal posterior curvature (hunchback) of the thoracic region of the vertebral column, often caused by poor posture or muscular weakness.
4Which spinal deformity involves an abnormal lateral (sideways) curvature of the vertebral column?
A.Scoliosis
B.Kyphosis
C.Lordosis
D.Flat foot
Explanation: Scoliosis is characterized by a sideways lateral curvature of the spine, which may form a C-shape or S-shape when viewed from behind.
5An excessive inward curvature of the lumbar region of the spine is known as which condition?
A.Lordosis
B.Kyphosis
C.Scoliosis
D.Round shoulders
Explanation: Lordosis (swayback) is marked by an increased inward curve of the lower back (lumbar region), shifting the pelvic tilt forward.
6Which postural defect is identified by the complete collapse or absence of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot?
A.Flat foot (Pes planus)
B.Bow legs (Genu varum)
C.Knock knee (Genu valgum)
D.Lordosis
Explanation: Flat foot (Pes planus) occurs when the medial arch of the foot collapses, causing the entire sole to contact the ground during standing.
7In which postural deformity do the knees knock together while standing with legs straight, creating a gap between the inner ankles?
A.Genu valgum (Knock knee)
B.Genu varum (Bow legs)
C.Pes cavus (High arch)
D.Kyphosis
Explanation: Genu valgum, commonly called knock knees, is a structural misalignment where the knees touch each other while the inner ankles stay apart.
8What is the condition called when a person's knees curve outward, leaving a wide space between the knees when standing with ankles together?
A.Bow legs (Genu varum)
B.Knock knee (Genu valgum)
C.Scoliosis
D.Flat foot
Explanation: Genu varum (bow legs) is an outward bowing of the legs where the knees remain wide apart even when the medial malleoli (inner ankles) touch.
9What is the primary physiological objective of conducting a proper warm-up before strenuous exercise?
A.To raise muscle temperature and enhance blood circulation
B.To induce muscular fatigue before main activity
C.To build maximum muscle hypertrophy
D.To deplete muscle glycogen stores
Explanation: Warming up gradually elevates deep muscle temperature, increases core body temperature, and enhances blood flow, preparing neuromuscular pathways for intense effort and reducing injury risk.
10What is the main physiological purpose of performing cool-down (limbering down) exercises after intense physical activity?
A.To promote lactic acid removal and lower heart rate gradually
B.To rapidly increase body core temperature
C.To maximize lactic acid accumulation in skeletal muscles
D.To immediately stop venous return of blood
Explanation: Cooling down prevents venous pooling in lower extremities, gradually lowers heart rate and breathing rate, and facilitates the clearance of metabolic waste products like lactic acid.
