Explain the relationship between muscular strength and endurance and describe their impact on health-related fitness.
Muscular strength is the maximum force a muscle can produce in one contraction; muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle to contract repeatedly over time. Both contribute to health-related fitness by supporting daily activities, improving posture, reducing injury risk, increasing lean body mass, and enhancing overall physical function and metabolic health.
List the principles of exercise.
specificity, overload, progression

Specificity is important in high-performance sports because training should match the specific movements, skills, muscles, energy systems, and intensity required by the sport or event. Sport-specific practice improves performance more effectively than general training alone.
Explain why the wall test is best considered a coordination test.
The wall test involves throwing a ball against a wall with one hand and catching it with the opposite hand as it bounces back. It measures the ability of using different body parts in conjunction with one another. While reaction time is somewhat a factor, it is a repetitive, pattern behavior test that makes good coordination a more important factor than agility, power, or speed.
