Q.While selecting test items for the fitness test Mr Laxman asked his students of physical education to list down test items and explain why they chose that particular activity. By doing so he is also trying to make students understand the impact of each activity and relationship between components of physical fitness. On the basis of given information answer the following questions:-

1. List down any two exercises for Explosive strength.
2. List down any two exercises for muscular endurance.
3. Muscular strength can be measured through ____________.
4. Shuttle run tests are used to measure __________.
5. Medicine ball throw test is used to test ________.

Each test item in this case study maps to one specific fitness component — explosive strength and the medicine ball throw are POWER, shuttle run is AGILITY, and muscular endurance/strength have their own standard tests. …

1. Exercises for Explosive strength (Power — "acting fast with resistance... a combination of strength and speed"): standing broad jump and vertical jump are classic explosive-strength tests, matching the book's own power examples (shot put, long jump, a karate kick).

2. Exercises for muscular endurance ("the ability of the muscles to exert themselves repeatedly... without undue fatigue"): push-ups and sit-ups (curl-ups), which the book itself names as muscular-endurance measurement tools alongside free weights and a stopwatch.

3. Muscular strength is measured through a maximal single-effort test against resistance — e.g., a 1-repetition-maximum lift with free weights (barbells/dumbbells) — since by definition muscular strength is the MAXIMUM force a muscle can generate in a single effort, not a repeated one. …
