Question 1
Which statement is true about the roles of carbohydrates, proteins and fats in an athlete's diet and hydration?
Correct Answer:
Carbohydrates provide energy, proteins repair/build tissue, fats supply energy and hormones; hydration maintains performance and thermoregulation.
Explanation:
Carbohydrates are the body's primary fuel for activity, especially at higher intensities, and they are stored as glycogen in muscles and liver to be used during exercise. Proteins mainly repair and build tissues, supporting muscle recovery and adaptation after training. Fats provide a dense energy source, especially useful for longer, steadier efforts, and they also play a role in hormone production and overall energy availability. Hydration is essential because it supports blood volume, sweating, and heat dissipation, helping to maintain performance and the body's temperature regulation during exercise. This combination correctly reflects how each macronutrient contributes and why staying hydrated matters for performance. Statements that claim carbohydrates are unnecessary or that hydration has no effect on thermoregulation misstate how the body uses fuel and manages heat.
Question 2
Physical literacy promotes lifelong participation by developing what?
Correct Answer:
Confidence and competence in movement across activities
Explanation:
Physical literacy is about gaining the skills, confidence and motivation to move smoothly across a wide range of activities. When people feel capable in many movements, they’re more likely to enjoy and continue being active throughout life, which leads to lifelong participation in physical activity. This captures the idea of transferable ability and a positive attitude toward movement in different settings, not just a single sport or elite level. The other ideas don’t fit because financial stability isn’t determined by movement skills, advanced tactical planning is a specific skill set not the overall aim of physical literacy, and focusing only on elite athletes ignores the inclusive, lifelong aspect of being active in many contexts.
Question 3
What is tactical periodisation?
Correct Answer:
Focused on developing decision-making and tactical understanding across cycles
Explanation:
Tactical periodisation is about planning training so players develop how to play the game, not just perform drills. It structures practice across cycles so decision-making and tactical understanding grow in context, step by step, so players can apply the right actions in real match situations. Training is organized around the team's tactical model—how to defend and press, how to build attacks, how to transition between phases—so players repeatedly face game-like scenarios and must choose the best option under pressure. This approach links technical work, physical conditioning, and tactical learning, with the aim of aligning everything to match demands and peaking at the right times in the season. It isn’t about excluding physical training, it isn’t limited to individual sports, and it isn’t a strength-only model.
Question 4
Why are ethical guidelines in sport important for sponsorship and advertising?
Correct Answer:
To ensure truthful messaging and protect young audiences
Explanation:
Ethical guidelines in sponsorship and advertising focus on how messages are communicated in sport. They require truthfulness in claims and prevent misleading or exaggerated messaging, which helps maintain trust between fans and brands. Protecting younger audiences is a key part of this, since many fans are impressionable and ads need to be appropriate for children and teens. When sponsorships present honest, suitable messages, the sport’s integrity stays intact and fans feel confident in what they’re seeing. The other options miss the core aim of honest communication and safeguarding younger viewers, which is why this choice best fits.
Question 5
Which nutrient is primarily responsible for tissue repair and growth after exercise?
Correct Answer:
Proteins
Explanation:
Protein is the nutrient most directly tied to tissue repair and growth after exercise. When you train, especially with resistance work, tiny tears form in muscles and connective tissues. Protein provides the amino acids that are used to rebuild and strengthen these tissues, supporting muscle repair and growth. Carbohydrates are important for restoring energy (glycogen) after exercise and supporting overall recovery, while fats supply energy and essential fatty acids, but they don’t provide the primary building blocks for new tissue. Vitamins assist metabolism, but they aren’t the main driver of tissue repair. So, protein best explains why tissues repair and grow after activity.
