Consider Option D: Appropriate training group placement

  • Using test results to place athletes into appropriate training groups based on their current abilities is a key outcome of fitness testing, allowing for targeted interventions.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Placing athletes in training groups based on testing doesn’t directly evaluate the overall program’s effectiveness.
  • B is incorrect: While competition may motivate some athletes, the scenario describes using results for training organisation rather than motivation.
  • C is incorrect: Though special talents might be noted, the scenario specifically describes using results for general training group placement rather than talent identification.
