Physical Education and Health 12 – 1st Quarterly Examination Review

A comprehensive set of Q&A flashcards covering levels/types of activity, energy systems, biochemistry basics, FITT, fitness components, testing, safety, and heat-related concerns from the notes.

What are the three levels of physical activity intensity described in the notes?

Light Activity, Moderate Activity, and Vigorous Activity.

Give an example of a light activity.

Gentle movements requiring minimal effort (e.g., slow walking).

What characterizes moderate activity?

It raises heart rate and breathing but conversation is still possible.

What characterizes vigorous activity?

High-intensity movements that make talking difficult due to heavy breathing.

Name two examples of daily movements that contribute to fitness.

Walking and Dancing (also includes chores; walking is listed).

Name three sports mentioned that involve high energy and intensity.

Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer.

What is ATP?

Adenosine Triphosphate, the main energy currency of cells.

What is Phosphocreatine and its role?

Stored in muscles; helps regenerate ATP quickly.

Which energy system breaks down carbohydrates without oxygen?

Glycolytic System.

Which energy system uses oxygen for long-duration energy production?

Oxidative System.

Which energy system is the body's fastest and used during short bursts of high-intensity activity?

Phosphagen System (ATP-PC).

What is glucose?

A simple sugar used for energy; main sugar in the blood.

What is glycogen?

Stored form of glucose in muscles and liver.

What are the phosphate groups named in ATP?

Alpha, Beta, Gamma.

What does the FITT principle stand for?

Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type.

Name the health-related fitness components.

Cardiovascular Endurance, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Flexibility, Body Composition.

Name the skill-related fitness components.

Agility, Balance, Coordination, Power, Reaction Time, Speed.

What is dynamic balance?

The ability to maintain stability while moving, especially during changes in direction or speed.

What is static balance?

The ability to maintain body position without moving, even when external forces or gravity try to disrupt it.

Which test measures flexibility?

Sit and Reach Test.

What does BMI stand for?

Body Mass Index; estimates body composition.

Which test assesses muscular strength?

Push-Up Test.

Which test measures speed and agility?

Shuttle Run.

Which test evaluates power?

Standing Long Jump.

Why is warm-up important?

Prepares the body and reduces injury risk.

What footwear is ideal for PE?

Sports shoes.

What should you do if equipment is damaged?

Report damage and ask for guidance.

How should you behave in crowded facilities?

Take turns and be respectful.

How can you prevent overexertion?

Gradually increase intensity and rest.

What is hyperthermia?

Body overheats and cannot cool down efficiently.

What is hypothermia?

Body loses heat faster than it can produce it.

What is dehydration?

Occurs when the body loses more fluids than it takes in.

What is overexertion?

When someone pushes their body beyond its physical limits, especially during exercise.
