Question 16 • Fall 24 HS Physical Education

Which of the following requires the action of a first class lever in the body?

Answer
A
jumping
B
push-ups
C
waving
D
nodding

Explanation

A first-class lever has its fulcrum between the effort and the load. When you nod your head, the joint between the skull and spine acts as the fulcrum, with neck muscles providing effort and the weight of the head acting as the load. Therefore, nodding uses a first-class lever.
