Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
There is a common misconception that working out every day will yield faster and better results.
While consistent exercise is vital for progress, the body also requires adequate time to rest and recover.
Overtraining can lead to fatigue, decreased performance, and an increased risk of injury. It is essential to
strike a balance between challenging workouts and allowing sufficient recovery time for muscles to repair
and grow stronger.
In reality, the duration and intensity of workouts should be tailored to individual fitness levels and
goals. Quality workouts that target different muscle groups and incorporate cardiovascular exercises can
be more effective than simply increasing the quantity of training sessions.
Some people believe that working out every day causes them to indulge in unhealthy eating habits or
neglect other aspects of their well-being. While exercise is a crucial component of a healthy lifestyle, it
should be complemented by a balanced diet, sufficient sleep, and stress management. Neglecting these
other factors can hinder overall health and fitness progress.
Moreover, working out every day does not guarantee weight loss or body transformation. While
exercise contributes to calorie burning and muscle development, weight loss also depends on factors like
diet, genetics, and overall lifestyle habits. A holistic approach that combines regular exercise with a
nutritious diet and healthy habits is key to achieving sustainable results.

A. Debunking Myths About Daily Workouts
B. The Benefits of Working Out Every Day
C. Maximising Results with Daily Exercise
D. The Importance of Rest in Fitness Training
Question 40. According to paragraph 2, how intense your workouts should be is determined by _____.
A. the number of training sessions per week

Both strains and sprains share common signs and symptoms, including immediate or delayed pain,
tenderness in the soft tissue near the bone, swelling, bruising, muscle spasms, and weakness or discomfort
when using the affected area.
Strains often occur when excessive pressure is exerted on a muscle, like when lifting heavy objects.
They are more likely to happen during physical activity when the body is contracting, stretching, or working
a specific body part. Insufficient warm-up exercises that boost blood circulation to the muscles can also
contribute to strains, commonly affecting athletes in their backs, necks, or legs.
Sprains, on the other hand, are typically caused by twisting an ankle or knee. Although they
commonly occur during sports, sprains can happen in various situations. Interestingly, older kids and
teenagers are more prone to sprains than younger children.
To diagnose strains and sprains, doctors typically ask questions about the injured area and conduct
an examination, including assessing range of motion and strength tests. In some cases, an X-ray or other
imaging study may be ordered to identify additional injuries like fractures, while ultrasounds can be useful
in diagnosing minor tears.
Treatment for strains and sprains often involves rest to protect and facilitate healing of the injury.
Swelling can be managed by applying ice wrapped in a towel, using compression techniques like elastic
bandages or compression sleeves, and elevating the injured area. Immobilising the affected part with
wrapping or splinting may be necessary, followed by strengthening exercises to promote muscle recovery.
Pain medication is generally recommended for a limited period.
Children and teenagers with a sprain or strain typically need to take a break from sports until specific
criteria are met. These include the reduction of swelling, absence of pain during sports activities, approval
from the doctor, the ability to perform without limping, full range of motion in the injured area, and
restored strength.
Fortunately, strains and sprains usually heal without long-term complications. It's important to follow
the doctor's instructions diligently to promote a speedy recovery. To prevent strains and sprains,
encourage young athletes to engage in thorough warm-up exercises before physical activity, incorporating
movements like jogging, high knees, butt kicks, and active stretching. Additionally, encourage post-activity
static stretching, where each stretch is held for at least 30 seconds.
In the event of a strain or sprain, coaches, personal trainers, doctors, or physical therapists can
provide guidance on strengthening exercises to aid recovery and minimise the risk of reinjury. With proper
care and attention, strains and sprains can be overcome, allowing individuals to return to their favourite
activities stronger and more resilient than ever.
Question 44. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Common Injuries: Strains and Sprains B. Preventing Sports Injuries in Children
C. The Importance of Warm-up Exercises D. Treatment Options for Muscle Pain
Question 45. The word "exerted" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.

Question 46. According to paragraph 4, an X-ray can be used to _____.
