CANFIT PRO FIS THEORY PAPER 2026
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ Transtheoretical Model of Change. Answer: precontemplation,
contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, reversibility
⩥ precontemplation stage. Answer: the stage of change in which a
person might develop increased awareness of an opportunity but is not
yet thinking seriously about making the change
⩥ Contemplation stage. Answer: the stage of behaviour change in which
a person develops increased belief and confidence in the possibility of
change
⩥ Preparation stage. Answer: the stage of behaviour change in which a
person becomes informed about the requirements for success and makes
plans to implement change
⩥ Action stage. Answer: the stage of behaviour in which a person takes
appropriate steps toward achieving the desired change
⩥ structural tolerance. Answer: the principle of physical fitness that
suggests that the strengthening of tissues in and around joints will result
,in the ability to sustain subsequently greater stresses in training with
greater resistance to injury.
⩥ all-around development. Answer: the training principle that suggests
that people who are well developed through all components of fitness
are less prone to injury, and more likely to have performance increases
in sport and in life.
⩥ reversibility. Answer: the training principle that suggests that after
training ceases, the body gradually returns to it's pre-training state.
⩥ maintenance. Answer: the training principle that suggests once a
certain level of fitness has been achieved, it is possible to maintain it at
less effort than it took to acquire it
⩥ cardiorespiratory capacity. Answer: the ability of the body to take in
oxygen (respiration), deliver it to the cells (circulation), and use it at the
cellular level to create energy (bioenergetics) for physical work
(activity)
⩥ muscular capacity. Answer: the full spectrum of muscular capability,
including endurance, strength and power
,⩥ Maintenance stage. Answer: the stage of behaviour change in which,
after change has occurred, the person continues with the behaviours
required for success.
⩥ exercise adherence. Answer: the act, or actions, of consistently
participating in the assigned physical training activities
⩥ SMART goals. Answer: goals expressed in a specific, measurable,
attainable, realistic, and time-sensitive manner.
⩥ FITT. Answer: The training principle that suggests that when
designing a group fitness class program, the frequency, intensity, time,
and type of exercise must be considered.
⩥ Individualization. Answer: the training principle that suggests that
program design must be made to accommodate every participant's
individual needs.
⩥ Specificity. Answer: the training principle that suggests that if
participants want to improve an aspect of their performance, they have
to train that aspect deliberately
⩥ Progressive overload. Answer: suggests that to improve, participants
must continually challenge their fitness. This occurs through gradually
, increasing the volume or intensity of the program to realize ongoing
adaptations
⩥ Recovery. Answer: The training principle that suggests that a post-
workout recovery period must allow the participant to return to the next
workout at least as fit as the previous one, if not more.
⩥ Flexibility. Answer: Refers to absolute range of motion, or relative
range of motion, of a joint as a result of muscles that cross the joint
⩥ body composition. Answer: the proportion of fat mass (adipose tissue
deposited under the skin and around the organs) to fat-free mass
(muscle, bone, blood and fluids) in the human body
⩥ Coordination. Answer: a secondary component of fitness; it involves
the ability to use multiple body parts to create smooth and fluid
movement patterns.
⩥ Agility. Answer: a secondary component of fitness; it involves the
ability to change direction effectively and efficiently
⩥ reaction time. Answer: the time required for a person to respond to a
specific stimulus
⩥ Speed. Answer: the rate of change in position of a person
