Question 1Physical Education

A physical education teacher wants students to develop cardiorespiratory endurance. Which activity best targets that component of health-related fitness?

  1. Sustained jogging at a moderate pace for twenty minutes Correct answer.
  2. Bench pressing a near-maximal load for three repetitions
  3. Standing on one leg with eyes closed for balance
  4. Static hamstring stretching held for thirty seconds

Explanation

Cardiorespiratory endurance is improved by continuous, rhythmic activity that raises heart rate and sustains it over time, which is exactly what moderate-pace jogging provides. Stretching develops flexibility, heavy low-repetition lifting develops muscular strength, and single-leg standing trains balance rather than aerobic capacity.

Question 2Physical Education

During a fitness unit, a teacher measures how far each student can reach past the toes while seated with legs extended. This test is designed to assess which fitness component?

  1. Flexibility Correct answer.
  2. Cardiorespiratory fitness
  3. Agility
  4. Muscular endurance

Explanation

The sit-and-reach test measures the range of motion at the lower back and hamstrings, which is the definition of flexibility. Muscular endurance involves repeated contractions, agility involves rapid direction changes, and cardiorespiratory fitness is assessed through sustained aerobic effort.

Question 3Physical Education

A teacher plans a lesson around the principle of specificity. Which lesson design best reflects that principle?

  1. Having students swim laps to prepare for a basketball tournament
  2. Training sport-specific skills and energy systems used in the target activity Correct answer.
  3. Increasing total workout time each week regardless of activity type
  4. Assigning the same general workout to every sport season

Explanation

The principle of specificity states that training adaptations are specific to the muscles, movements, and energy systems stressed. Training movements and energy systems that match the target sport therefore reflects specificity, while unrelated activities or generic progression plans do not.

Question 4Physical Education

A student can perform twenty push-ups with good form but cannot complete a single pull-up. Which statement best explains this using fitness principles?

  1. The student's flexibility is insufficient for hanging from a bar
  2. The student lacks cardiorespiratory endurance needed for pulling movements
  3. The student's body composition prevents all upper-body exertion
  4. The student has not developed the strength-endurance specific to the pulling muscles Correct answer.

Explanation

Push-ups emphasize pushing muscles in a partial-body-weight position, while pull-ups demand pulling strength and endurance that must be trained specifically. The principle of specificity explains why proficiency in one movement does not transfer automatically to a mechanically different one.

Question 5Physical Education

Which sequence correctly describes the phases of a well-structured physical education lesson?

  1. Warm-up, skill development or fitness activity, cool-down Correct answer.
  2. Cool-down, warm-up, skill development
  3. Vigorous activity, static stretching, skill development
  4. Skill development, cool-down, warm-up

Explanation

A sound lesson begins with a warm-up that raises body temperature and prepares the joints, proceeds to the main instructional or fitness activity, and ends with a cool-down that promotes gradual recovery. Placing the cool-down or vigorous work before preparation increases injury risk and reduces readiness.

Question 6Physical Education

A teacher wants to reduce the risk of heat illness during an outdoor unit on a hot day. Which practice is most appropriate?

  1. Requiring students to wear dark, heavy clothing
  2. Scheduling vigorous activity during the hottest part of the day
  3. Restricting water breaks so students avoid stomach cramps
  4. Providing frequent water breaks and scheduled rest in shade Correct answer.

Explanation

Frequent hydration and scheduled rest in cooler shaded areas are core strategies for preventing heat illness during activity in hot conditions. Limiting fluids, exercising at peak heat, and heavy dark clothing all increase heat stress rather than reduce it.

Question 7Physical Education

Which of the following best describes the role of a formative assessment in a physical education unit?

  1. Monitoring student progress during instruction to adjust teaching Correct answer.
  2. Ranking students against national fitness norms
  3. Assigning a final grade after the unit ends
  4. Determining eligibility for athletic teams

Explanation

Formative assessment occurs during instruction and is used to gather information about student learning so the teacher can adjust instruction and give feedback. Summative grading, norm-referenced ranking, and team eligibility decisions serve different purposes and occur at different points.

Question 8Physical Education

A teacher uses a rubric with descriptors for skill execution, strategy, and teamwork to evaluate students during a volleyball unit. This approach primarily improves which aspect of assessment?

  1. Speed of returning grades to students
  2. Number of students who can be tested at once
  3. Objectivity and consistency of scoring Correct answer.
  4. Difficulty of the activity for students

Explanation

A rubric with clear performance descriptors standardizes judgments so that different observers apply the same criteria, improving objectivity and consistency. It does not inherently speed grading, change task difficulty, or expand testing capacity.

Question 9Physical Education

Which principle of motor learning explains why a beginner's performance improves rapidly at first and then plateaus?

  1. The learning curve with diminishing returns Correct answer.
  2. The reversibility principle
  3. The principle of individual differences
  4. The overload principle

Explanation

Motor skill learning typically follows a curve in which large early gains are followed by smaller improvements and plateaus as the learner refines control. The overload and reversibility principles concern training stimulus and detraining, while individual differences concern variation among learners.

Question 10Physical Education

A teacher introduces a new dribbling skill by demonstrating it, then having students practice with a partner providing simple cues. Which stage of motor learning do the students most likely occupy?

  1. Cognitive stage Correct answer.
  2. Associative stage
  3. Autonomous stage
  4. Refinement stage

Explanation

In the cognitive stage, learners rely heavily on demonstration, verbal cues, and conscious attention to understand the movement. The associative stage involves refining consistency, and the autonomous stage involves automatic, low-attention performance.

Question 11Physical Education

When teaching a closed motor skill such as a free throw, which practice condition is generally most effective for beginners?

  1. A setting with no feedback from the teacher
  2. A constantly changing environment with random repetitions
  3. A competitive game setting with defenders
  4. A predictable, consistent environment with blocked repetitions Correct answer.

Explanation

Closed skills are performed in stable, predictable environments, and beginners benefit from blocked practice with consistent conditions and feedback. Random or game-based conditions add variability and pressure that are better introduced after the basic pattern is established.

Question 12Physical Education

Which of the following best illustrates the use of transfer of learning in physical education?

  1. Testing students on skills they have not been taught
  2. Using the overhand throwing pattern taught in baseball to introduce the tennis serve Correct answer.
  3. Teaching a new skill only after students have forgotten the previous one
  4. Repeating a skill until students can perform it without cues

Explanation

Transfer of learning occurs when prior learning influences the acquisition of a new skill, as when a similar overhand throwing pattern supports learning a tennis serve. Repeated practice to automaticity is a learning outcome, not transfer, and the other options describe unrelated practices.

Question 13Physical Education

A teacher wants to promote moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during class. Which strategy is most likely to increase students' activity time?

  1. Using a single large-sided game with many inactive players
  2. Having students wait in long lines for a turn
  3. Using small-sided games with minimal elimination Correct answer.
  4. Spending most of the class on teacher lecture

Explanation

Small-sided games reduce waiting and keep more students moving, which raises activity time and supports moderate-to-vigorous intensity. Long lines, extended lectures, and large-sided games with many standing players reduce the proportion of class time spent active.

Question 14Physical Education

In a middle school class, a teacher notices several students are reluctant to participate because they fear being laughed at. Which strategy best addresses this climate issue?

  1. Allowing only the most skilled students to demonstrate
  2. Creating cooperative tasks with mixed-ability grouping and clear respect norms Correct answer.
  3. Publicly ranking students by performance
  4. Eliminating all skill instruction so no one stands out

Explanation

A supportive climate is built through cooperative learning, mixed-ability grouping, and explicit expectations for respectful behavior, which reduce fear of judgment. Public ranking, removing instruction, and showcasing only skilled students increase anxiety and exclusion.

Question 15Physical Education

A teacher wants to differentiate instruction for a student with a physical disability during a throwing unit. Which approach best reflects appropriate adaptation?

  1. Excusing the student from all throwing activities
  2. Lowering the objective to simple observation only
  3. Requiring the student to perform the standard throw without modification
  4. Modifying equipment and distance while keeping the same learning objective Correct answer.

Explanation

Appropriate adaptation changes equipment, distance, or rules so the student can work toward the same learning objective without being excluded. Total exemption, observation-only roles, or unchanged demands fail to provide equitable access to learning.

Question 16Physical Education

A teacher uses a heart-rate monitor to keep students in a target zone during a fitness circuit. This practice best illustrates which concept?

  1. Assessing students' knowledge of anatomy
  2. Evaluating teamwork and cooperation
  3. Monitoring intensity to ensure training is effective Correct answer.
  4. Measuring flexibility during activity

Explanation

Heart-rate monitoring provides objective information about exercise intensity so students can work within a target zone and achieve the intended training effect. It does not measure anatomical knowledge, flexibility, or social behaviors.

Question 17Physical Education

Which statement best describes the relationship between muscular strength and muscular endurance?

  1. Neither quality can be improved through training
  2. Strength is the maximal force produced, while endurance is the ability to sustain repeated contractions Correct answer.
  3. They are identical qualities measured the same way
  4. Endurance is maximal force, while strength is sustained effort

Explanation

Muscular strength refers to the greatest force a muscle group can generate, usually against heavy resistance with few repetitions. Muscular endurance is the capacity to perform repeated contractions or hold a contraction over time against lighter resistance.

Question 18Physical Education

A teacher designs a unit using the FIT principle. Which combination correctly represents the three variables?

  1. Form, interval, target
  2. Force, inertia, torque
  3. Flexibility, intensity, tempo
  4. Frequency, intensity, time Correct answer.

Explanation

The FIT principle stands for frequency, intensity, and time, which are the key variables manipulated to apply the overload principle safely. The other combinations are not standard fitness-training terminology.

Question 19Physical Education

A student reports sharp knee pain during a jumping activity. What is the most appropriate immediate teacher response?

  1. Ignore the complaint and continue the lesson
  2. Apply heat immediately and resume activity
  3. Stop the activity, assess the student, and follow the school's injury protocol Correct answer.
  4. Encourage the student to push through the pain to build toughness

Explanation

Sharp pain during activity signals possible injury, so the teacher should stop the activity, assess the student, and follow established injury procedures. Pushing through pain, ignoring complaints, or applying heat and resuming risk worsening the injury.

Question 20Physical Education

Which biomechanical concept best explains why a longer lever arm increases the speed of a striking limb?

  1. Center of gravity remaining fixed
  2. Decreased muscle recruitment
  3. Reduced friction at the joint
  4. Angular momentum and linear velocity at the end of a rotating segment Correct answer.

Explanation

In rotation, points farther from the axis of rotation travel faster for the same angular speed, so a longer lever produces greater linear velocity at its end. Center of gravity, joint friction, and muscle recruitment do not explain this relationship.

Question 21Physical Education

A teacher analyzes a student's overhand throw and notes the student rotates the hips and trunk before the arm comes forward. This observation indicates which biomechanical principle is being applied?

  1. Sequential summation of forces from large to small body segments Correct answer.
  2. Elimination of the follow-through phase
  3. Isolation of the arm as the sole force producer
  4. Reduction of the base of support

Explanation

Skilled throwing uses sequential summation, transferring force from the large, proximal segments such as hips and trunk to smaller, distal segments like the arm. This proximal-to-distal sequence increases the final velocity of the hand or implement.

Question 22Physical Education

A teacher is planning a resistance-training unit for adolescents. Which guideline is most consistent with accepted youth strength-training recommendations?

  1. Eliminate all resistance training until students finish growth
  2. Require maximal single-repetition lifts to build strength quickly
  3. Emphasize proper technique with light-to-moderate loads and qualified supervision Correct answer.
  4. Use only heavy loads with breath-holding on every repetition

Explanation

Youth resistance training should prioritize correct technique, appropriate light-to-moderate loads, and qualified supervision, with progression over time. Maximal lifts, breath-holding, or banning training altogether are inconsistent with these recommendations.

Question 23Physical Education

A teacher wants to assess students' tactical understanding during a modified invasion game. Which assessment method is most valid for this purpose?

  1. Timing a forty-yard sprint
  2. Observing decision-making and off-ball movement using a game-performance rubric Correct answer.
  3. Counting the number of push-ups completed
  4. Measuring sit-and-reach distance

Explanation

Tactical understanding is best assessed by observing decisions, positioning, and support play in game situations, which a game-performance rubric can capture. Sprint times, push-up counts, and flexibility measures assess physical qualities rather than tactical knowledge.

Question 24Physical Education

A teacher plans to teach students how to set a personal fitness goal. Which goal statement best reflects appropriate goal-setting practice?

  1. I will run three times per week for twenty minutes to improve my mile time by thirty seconds in six weeks Correct answer.
  2. I will be the best athlete in school
  3. I will try harder in class
  4. I will get fitter soon

Explanation

Effective goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound, as in a stated frequency, duration, target improvement, and deadline. Vague intentions or outcome goals based on comparison with others do not guide practice as effectively.

Question 25Physical Education

Which statement best explains why a cool-down is included at the end of vigorous activity?

  1. It gradually returns heart rate and blood flow toward resting levels and may reduce dizziness Correct answer.
  2. It replaces the need for a warm-up in the next class
  3. It immediately increases maximal heart rate
  4. It prevents all muscle soreness from occurring

Explanation

A cool-down allows heart rate, breathing, and circulation to return gradually toward resting levels, which can reduce dizziness and support recovery. It does not raise maximal heart rate, eliminate soreness entirely, or substitute for future warm-ups.

Question 26Physical Education

A physical education teacher wants students to understand how the body's demand for oxygen rises during sustained running. Which physiological response is the most direct indicator that this demand is being met during the activity?

  1. An increase in heart rate and breathing rate during exercise Correct answer.
  2. An increase in resting blood pressure measured before class
  3. A decrease in body temperature during the run
  4. A decrease in stroke volume during the run

Explanation

During aerobic activity, cardiac output and ventilation rise to deliver more oxygen to working muscles and remove carbon dioxide, so heart and breathing rates increase. This is the expected acute response to sustained running.

Question 27Physical Education

Which activity best develops cardiorespiratory endurance rather than muscular strength?

  1. Holding a plank for 30 seconds
  2. Performing three sets of heavy squats
  3. Sprinting 40 meters repeatedly with long rest
  4. Jogging continuously for 20 minutes at a moderate pace Correct answer.

Explanation

Cardiorespiratory endurance improves through sustained rhythmic activity that elevates heart rate over time, such as continuous moderate jogging. Strength-oriented tasks use high resistance and short duration instead.

Question 28Physical Education

A teacher wants to help students accurately monitor exercise intensity without equipment. Which method is most appropriate for teaching this skill?

  1. Having students rate their perceived exertion on a simple numbered scale Correct answer.
  2. Having students count their pulse only after class ends
  3. Telling students to exercise until they feel dizzy
  4. Asking students to guess their classmates' intensity levels

Explanation

A perceived exertion scale gives students a practical, equipment-free way to gauge how hard they are working relative to their own capacity. This supports self-monitoring and safe pacing during activity.

Question 29Physical Education

Which of the following is the best example of a locomotor skill?

  1. Catching a beanbag with two hands
  2. Kicking a stationary ball
  3. Balancing on one foot
  4. Galloping across the gym floor Correct answer.

Explanation

Locomotor skills move the body from one place to another, and galloping is a classic example. Catching, balancing, and kicking are manipulative or stability skills rather than traveling movements.

Question 30Physical Education

A teacher is organizing students for a cooperative game and wants to maximize active participation time. Which grouping decision best supports this goal?

  1. Using one student at a time while others observe
  2. Using small groups with several students waiting in line
  3. Using small-sided games so all students are engaged Correct answer.
  4. Using large teams so most students watch

Explanation

Small-sided games reduce waiting and give each student more turns with the equipment, increasing time on task. High active participation is a core goal of effective physical education management.

Question 31Physical Education

Which practice best reflects the principle of specificity in training?

  1. A distance runner trains with heavy bench presses to improve endurance
  2. A sprinter trains with sprint drills to improve sprint speed Correct answer.
  3. A basketball player lifts weights only to improve free-throw accuracy
  4. A swimmer trains mainly by cycling to improve swimming performance

Explanation

The principle of specificity states that training adaptations are specific to the muscles and energy systems stressed. Sprint drills directly train the qualities used in sprinting.

Question 32Physical Education

A teacher wants to build students' understanding of personal and social responsibility during team activities. Which approach most directly supports this goal?

  1. Keeping score publicly to rank students
  2. Allowing only the most skilled students to lead
  3. Assigning roles and having students reflect on fulfilling them Correct answer.
  4. Removing all rules so students can decide freely

Explanation

Assigning roles and guiding reflection helps students take responsibility for their behavior and contributions to the group. This aligns with teaching personal and social responsibility in physical education.

Question 33Physical Education

Which statement correctly describes the difference between health-related and skill-related fitness components?

  1. Health-related components apply only to adults, while skill-related components apply only to children
  2. Skill-related components are more important for disease prevention than health-related ones
  3. Health-related components focus on lifelong wellness, while skill-related components support athletic performance Correct answer.
  4. Health-related components include agility and power, while skill-related components include flexibility

Explanation

Health-related fitness (cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, body composition) supports overall wellness. Skill-related fitness (agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time, speed) supports sport performance.

Question 34Physical Education

A teacher observes that a student consistently throws a ball with the same foot forward as the throwing arm. Which correction is most appropriate?

  1. Instruct the student to step with the foot opposite the throwing arm Correct answer.
  2. Instruct the student to throw harder without changing footwork
  3. Instruct the student to keep both feet together throughout
  4. Instruct the student to throw only underhand

Explanation

Stepping with the foot opposite the throwing arm allows hip and trunk rotation that transfers force into the throw. Same-side footwork restricts rotation and reduces accuracy and power.

Question 35Physical Education

During a fitness unit, a teacher wants students to apply the overload principle safely. Which student plan best demonstrates this principle?

  1. Performing maximal lifts every session without progression
  2. Repeating the same workout at the same intensity for several months
  3. Reducing all activity to avoid soreness
  4. Gradually increasing resistance or repetitions as the body adapts Correct answer.

Explanation

Overload requires placing greater-than-usual demands on the body, applied progressively as adaptation occurs. Gradual increases in resistance or repetitions reflect safe, effective overload.

Question 36Physical Education

A teacher is designing a unit for young children and wants activities matched to their developmental stage. Which choice is most appropriate?

  1. Using varied play-based activities that build fundamental movement patterns Correct answer.
  2. Requiring children to specialize in one sport year-round
  3. Focusing only on competitive game outcomes
  4. Emphasizing structured drills with long periods of standing

Explanation

Young children benefit from varied, play-based experiences that develop fundamental movement skills and confidence. Early specialization and long idle periods are not developmentally appropriate.

Question 37Physical Education

A student with asthma is participating in an aerobic unit. Which teacher action best supports safe participation?

  1. Ensuring the student has access to a reliever inhaler and monitoring for symptoms Correct answer.
  2. Excluding the student from all aerobic activity
  3. Ignoring signs of breathing difficulty to avoid singling out the student
  4. Requiring the student to complete extra laps to build tolerance

Explanation

Students with asthma should have their reliever medication accessible and be monitored for warning signs so activity can be adjusted as needed. Inclusion with appropriate safety measures is the goal.

Question 38Physical Education

A teacher wants to assess students' competence in a manipulative skill over time. Which approach provides the most valid evidence of improvement?

  1. Repeated observations recorded on a checklist across lessons Correct answer.
  2. A written quiz about the skill's rules
  3. A single end-of-unit test score
  4. Asking students to self-report their skill level once

Explanation

Repeated observation across lessons captures change in performance and reduces the influence of a single day's variability. This yields more valid evidence of skill improvement than a one-time measure.

Question 39Physical Education

A teacher notices that students in a throwing unit are not transferring weight from back foot to front foot. Which instructional cue best addresses this?

  1. Turn your back to the target before throwing
  2. Keep your weight on your back foot throughout the throw
  3. Step and shift your weight forward as you release Correct answer.
  4. Stand still and use only your arm

Explanation

Weight transfer from the rear foot to the front foot generates force and improves throwing mechanics. A concise cue directing students to step and shift forward targets this fault directly.

Question 40Physical Education

Which statement best explains why a warm-up precedes vigorous activity?

  1. It lowers heart rate below resting levels
  2. It raises muscle temperature and prepares the body for activity Correct answer.
  3. It replaces the need for a cool-down
  4. It guarantees prevention of all injuries

Explanation

A warm-up gradually increases muscle temperature, blood flow, and readiness for movement, which can improve performance and reduce injury risk. It does not eliminate all injury risk.

Question 41Physical Education

A teacher wants to promote students' tactical decision-making in a modified invasion game. Which modification best supports this aim?

  1. Using small-sided games that require quick decisions Correct answer.
  2. Removing all defenders so students can score easily
  3. Increasing the number of players per team to fill the space
  4. Having students practice skills only in isolation

Explanation

Small-sided games create more decision-making opportunities and require students to read and react to game situations. This is central to a tactical approach to games teaching.

Question 42Physical Education

A teacher wants to ensure that a fitness assessment is fair for all students. Which practice best supports fairness?

  1. Allowing students to set personal goals and measuring progress toward them Correct answer.
  2. Assigning grades based on body composition alone
  3. Comparing students' scores publicly against a class average
  4. Using only norm-referenced standards for grading

Explanation

Personal goal setting with progress measurement accounts for individual starting points and supports equitable assessment. Public comparison and body-composition grading can be unfair and discouraging.

Question 43Physical Education

Which of the following best describes the purpose of a summative assessment in a physical education unit?

  1. To replace the need for formative checks
  2. To rank students by physical size
  3. To provide ongoing feedback during learning
  4. To judge student achievement at the end of instruction Correct answer.

Explanation

Summative assessment evaluates achievement after instruction, often using established criteria or standards. It complements rather than replaces ongoing formative feedback.

Question 44Physical Education

A teacher wants to increase students' moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during a skills lesson. Which change is most likely to accomplish this?

  1. Extending teacher lecture time about skill rules
  2. Having students wait in line to practice one at a time
  3. Reducing equipment so students share in large groups
  4. Using station activities with enough equipment for all students Correct answer.

Explanation

Stations with sufficient equipment keep all students active and reduce waiting, raising MVPA. Reducing equipment or using long lines lowers activity time.

Question 45Physical Education

A teacher analyzes a student's vertical jump and notes the student bends the knees only slightly before takeoff. Which change would most likely increase jump height?

  1. Eliminating the countermovement entirely
  2. Increasing the depth of the countermovement within a safe range Correct answer.
  3. Keeping the legs fully straight before takeoff
  4. Jumping from a standing position without arm swing

Explanation

A deeper countermovement within a safe range increases the stretch and subsequent force production of the leg muscles, improving jump height. Arm swing also contributes to performance.

Question 46Physical Education

A teacher wants students to develop both skill and understanding in a sport education unit. Which design feature most directly supports this dual goal?

  1. Having students only practice skills without game play
  2. Rotating students through teams daily with no defined roles
  3. Assigning students to persistent teams with rotating roles such as player, coach, and official Correct answer.
  4. Using a single end-of-unit scrimmage as the only game experience

Explanation

Persistent teams with rotating roles build affiliation and give students opportunities to learn rules, tactics, and leadership alongside skill. This is a defining feature of the sport education model.

Question 47Physical Education

A teacher wants to teach students to design a safe and effective personal fitness plan. Which sequence best reflects sound planning?

  1. Choose exercises randomly and avoid recording results
  2. Copy a professional athlete's plan without modification
  3. Set goals, assess baseline fitness, apply training principles, and monitor progress Correct answer.
  4. Begin with maximal training and adjust only if injured

Explanation

Effective planning begins with goals and baseline assessment, applies training principles, and includes ongoing monitoring for adjustment. This sequence supports safety and individualization.

Question 48Physical Education

A teacher observes that a student's performance on a novel dribbling task improves when the task is practiced in a context similar to the game. Which concept best explains this?

  1. The concept of contextual interference and practice specificity Correct answer.
  2. The concept of static balance
  3. The principle of diminishing returns
  4. The principle of reversibility

Explanation

Practicing in contexts resembling the game reflects practice specificity, and varied, game-like practice can create contextual interference that supports retention and transfer. These concepts explain why context matters for learning.

Question 49Physical Education

A teacher wants to reduce the risk of overuse injuries in a youth fitness unit. Which approach is most consistent with current recommendations?

  1. Emphasizing varied activities and adequate rest between sessions Correct answer.
  2. Eliminating all strength-building activities
  3. Encouraging year-round single-sport training at high intensity
  4. Increasing training volume sharply each week

Explanation

Varied activity and adequate recovery reduce repetitive stress and support healthy development. Gradual progression is also recommended over sharp increases in volume.

Question 50Physical Education

A teacher wants to help students understand how body composition relates to health. Which statement is most accurate?

  1. Body composition is determined solely by height
  2. Body composition cannot be influenced by activity
  3. Body composition is identical for all people of the same age
  4. Body composition refers to the relative proportions of fat and lean tissue Correct answer.

Explanation

Body composition describes the proportions of fat mass and lean mass in the body and is one component of health-related fitness. It is influenced by activity, nutrition, and genetics.
