Consider Option A: Identifying students for specialized athletic development programs

  • Inappropriate as it may lead to early specialisation, pressure, and doesn’t consider developmental variability or late developers.

Other Options:

  • B is incorrect: Using data to improve physical education curriculum benefits all students.
  • C is incorrect: Helping students understand their capabilities in an age-appropriate way can foster physical literacy.
  • D is incorrect: Monitoring population trends can inform health policy and interventions.
