A gentle static stretch
Standing still between stations
One wall push-up

2.Wall push-ups mainly challenge which fitness component?

Muscular strength and endurance
Cardiovascular endurance

4.Before starting the circuit, write one suitable warm-up activity and explain how it prepares the body.

5.A person feels sharp pain during step-ups. What should they do next, and why?

6.Name two safety steps the group should take before and during the circuit.

7.After the circuit, a student holds a comfortable calf stretch without bouncing. Give a sensible time to hold the stretch and one thing the student should avoid.
