Q1 - The true statement is: It can be done alone or with a friend. You can do it at home, so the first is wrong, and also you can do it alone, so the second is also wrong. The fourth is wrong too because sports, being them team sports or not are considered to be a physical activity that can be done daily, so the only left is the third.

Q2- The correct answer is: the ability to maintain stable levels of oxygen and blood flow during an extended period of physical activity. The other sentences fail to express the concept of stability in the supply of oxygen and control of blood flow.

Q3- The correct answer is: be inactive. Any kind of physical activity, no matter how intense, would interfere in the resting heart rate. Lying down doesn't mean you weren't exercising before, and being asleep won't show the true result since the heart rate drops even more.

Q4- The correct answer is: type I diabetes. This kind of diabetes is related to the lack of exercising and an excessive amount of sugar in the blood due to the lack of physical activity. Regular exercise could diminish the problem.

Q5- The correct answer is: community. If the community in which you are part of exercise regularly, it can influence all of its members to do so.

Q6- The correct answer is: tai chi. Being a low-intensity physical activity, it is adequate for all ages to practice, which is what characterizes a lifetime activity.

Q7- The correct answer is: lack of confidence. Since there are many different kinds of sports, some of which you don't have to pay for, and learning how to practice them is a motivation the only alternative left would be lack of confidence.

Q8- The correct answer is: baseball. The other activities increase heart rate more than baseball, being considered intense physical activities.

Q9- The correct answer is: 5 to 10 minutes. This amount of time is enough for your heart rate to come back to normal.

Q10- The correct answer is: efficacy. The other factor are not relevant for a lifetime physical activity.

Q11- The correct answer is: rhythm and sequencing. Coordinated movements work as a dance, that's why those two factors are important in this matter.

Q12- The correct answer is: is it scientifically based? Because otherwise, the buyer would be fooled by buying something that is advertised and doesn't have real proof of the benefits to a sportist.

Q13- The correct answer is: the ability of muscles to function over a period of time without becoming tired
. That is the meaning of endurance. If it's related to muscles during physical activity, it refers to feeling tired.

Q14- The correct answer is: stating when and how often you will do the steps. Physical activity plans simply consist of it.

Q15- The correct answer is: Increase endurance over a limited amount of time. The FITT formula stand for endurance only.

Q16- The correct answer is: scammer. The other options only show true professionals related to physical activities.

Q17- The correct answer is: a mix of low, moderate and vigorous. The more different intensities of heart rate, the more effective the activity becomes.

Q18- The correct answer is: intensity. Intensity dictates the endurance to some exercises, so that's why it's so important.

Q19- The correct answer is: 15. A SPF lower than this is not effective in protection against sun radiation.

Q20- The correct answer is: pilates. This type of exercise stands for developing the muscles in a healty and progressive way.
