How many calories are burned on average after 1 hour of playing

Tennis?

250 300

134 450

Correct!

Next

Yes! Approximately 250 calories are burned per hour when playing Tennis. But how many calories you burn during different activities also depends on your weight and your metabolic rate (the rate at which chemical reactions, in your cells,

occur to fuel your body).

HINT: In order to increase your metabolic rate, all you have to do

is to exercise regularly!

How do you calculate BMI (Body Mass Index) ?

BMI (kg/m²) = Weight in

Kilograms / Height in Meters²

BMI (kg/m²) = Height in Metres /

Weight in Kilograms

BMI (kg/m²) = Weight in

Kilograms² / Height in Meters

BMI (kg/m²) = Weight in

Kilograms / Height in Meters

Correct!

Next

Correct! Depending upon the result you get from the formula, you

can see if you are healthy, overweight etc.

It is a very good and accurate way to find out

whether you need to improve your lifestyle or not. You compare your

results against the chart on this slide:

Vitamin AVitamin C

Vitamin BVitamin D

Correct!

Next

A lack of Vitamin C can cause scurvy, a

deficiency disease that causes problems with the

skin, joints and gums. Deficiency diseases are

simply diseases an individual can suffer from, due to a lack of essential vitamins and

minerals.

“In general, the more muscle and less fat you have, the lower your metabolic rate”

True

False

Correct!

Next

False! Muscle needs more energy than fatty tissue, which means

that people with a higher proportion of muscle to fat in their bodies will have a higher

metabolic rate. Physically bigger people are also likely to have a higher metabolic rate because you will have more cells and so you will require more energy.

FACT: On average, Men’s metabolism is higher than women’s because men are

slightly bigger and have more muscle than women!

Which of the following is best for strengthening your bones?

CyclingRunning

Swimming Walking

Correct!

Next

All exercise is good for you, but if you want to strengthen your bones, some forms are better than others. Exercise that gets your whole body moving and is done in the standing position is one of the best forms (this is so-

called 'weight-bearing' activity). Cycling or

swimming are not weight bearing and have little effect

on bone health.

How much exercise do you need to significantly cut your risk of heart

disease?

One hour of vigorous activity a

weekUp to 20 minutes a day at moderate intensity spread across the day

A 10-minute gentle daily stroll 30 minutes a day at

moderate intensity in no less than 10 minute slots at a

time

Correct!

Next

Heart disease is the number one killer in

Australia and while you don't need to be a gym

junkie to help ward it off, you do need to do some regular exercise - roughly half an hour a day at an intensity that causes a slight but noticeable

increase in your breathing and heart rate.

Back

What’s the best way to prevent injury or muscle soreness in a given exercise

session?

Stretch afterwards

Do lower intensity exercises at the end

of your session

Start your session with lower intensity

exercises

Stretch beforehand

Correct!

Next

 A number of studies have now shown that stretching before you exercise - or for

that matter after - makes no difference at all to either your risk of injury in that session or your odds of

muscle soreness the next day. It seems that if anything improves outcomes for the session ahead, it's warming

up, rather than the stretching that often goes

along with it.

Back

Which part of the body is most vulnerable to injury across all sports?

Hand

Ankle

Knee

Back

Correct!

Next

Sprained ankles cause the most grief across all

types of sports, say sporting experts. This is because the ankle is the most vulnerable joint in the legs. An ankle injury, even a sprained ankle, is

a serious condition.

Back

Protein is found in many of your favourite foods including pizza, hamburgers and chicken. What is the biggest reason your body needs protein?

To strengthen bones

To increase blood flow to the heart

To clear out wax from the inner ear

To build and maintain body tissue

Correct!

Next

Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of

smaller units called amino acids, which are

attached to one another in long chains. The

biggest reason your body needs protein is to build-up, maintain and replace the tissues in your body. They are also essential

for growth, cell repair and cell replacement.

Back

Vitamin A is found in carrots, broccoli and many other vegetables. What is vitamin A

most useful for?

Building strong bones

Improving eyesight

Building protein

Strengthening the immune system

Correct!

Next

Vitamin A helps you see. Not

eating enough vitamin A can

cause blindness or limit your

ability to see at night.
