\(D\)

Show Worked Solution
  • D is correct: Fitness testing identifies weaknesses that can then be targeted in training, reducing the likelihood of injury.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect: The order of skill-based and high-stress components is not the focus of testing.
  • B is incorrect: Programs are individualised, not universal, for safe participation.
  • C is incorrect: Warm-up and cool-down are important, but they are not outcomes of fitness testing.
