Consider Option B: “How does heart rate respond to a 12-minute aerobic fitness test?”

  • This option is specific, measurable, and directly investigates a physiological response (heart rate) to a defined aerobic training activity.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Too vague and subjective without specifying a physiological response.
  • C is incorrect: Compares different exercise types rather than investigating a physiological response.
  • D is incorrect: Focuses on psychological aspects rather than physiological responses
