Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct. The questionnaire is designed to identify medical history, current health status, and other risk factors before participation.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect. Baseline testing is gathered through fitness assessments, not the pre-exercise questionnaire.
  • C is incorrect. VO₂ max requires laboratory or field testing, not self-reported screening.
  • D is incorrect. Competitive readiness is assessed through performance and skill testing, not initial screening.
