Answer Key and Explanations
Direct Questions
- (C) A number given to what was assessed is a measurement; the stadiometer would be the test and ‘short for his age’ the evaluation.
- (C) Evaluation is a statement of quality, merit or worth about what has been assessed; it implies decision making.
- (C) Diagnosis, grouping, prediction and self-assessment of teaching are the coach’s perspective.
- (B) BMI (height-weight ratio) is listed under body measurements in anthropometric tests.
- (A) Physical tests measure size or components of the body (height, weight, X-rays) without effort from the subject.
- (C) BMI = 80 ÷ (1.6 × 1.6) = 80 ÷ 2.56 = 31.25.
- (A) WHO: 0.9 or less in men, 0.85 or less in women.
- (B) Broad shoulders, narrow waist and muscular build describe a mesomorph.
- (C) Summative evaluation comes at the end; formative evaluation takes place during the programme.
Assertion-Reason
- (A) Both are true, and because evaluation judges the score against norms or criteria, the same score can be judged differently; R explains A.
- (B) Both are true, but the names of the callipers do not explain why a standard pressure is used (the reason is that fat is compressible).
Match the Following
- (C) Bi-acromial = shoulder, bicristal = abdominal, bitrochanteric = hip, femur bicondylar = knee width.
- (B) Sit-ups are a motor performance (psychomotor); stress is affective; attention span is cognitive; calf circumference is anthropometric.
Statement-Based Questions
- (A) Both are as given in the book.
Arrange in the Correct Order
- (A) Pre-planning comes first, then the testing operation, then post-test functions.
- (C) Measure, convert cm to m, divide kg by m², then read the class.
Fill in the Blanks
- (B) BMI = body mass (kg) ÷ stature (m)².
Odd One Out
- (D) Benchmarking belongs to the training programme perspective.
Passage-Based Questions
- (D) 170 cm = 1.7 m; 1.7 × 1.7 = 2.89; BMI = 78 ÷ 2.89 = 26.99, about 27.0.
True / False
- (A) Both are true as given in the book.
