Lifestyle Factors and Basketball

Read the scenario and use the evidence to answer each question. There is no single perfect routine: explain choices that are safe, realistic and support wellbeing.

Scenario: the hike and the game

Mei, Zoe and Nikau are Year 8 students who play basketball. On Saturday they plan a mountain hike, then have a game on Monday. They want to enjoy the hike and arrive ready to play. Mei suggests packing water and lunch. Zoe has been staying up late on her phone and feels tired at training. Nikau wants to skip lunch so he feels lighter. Their coach says to build activity gradually, include rest, and tell a trusted adult if they feel unwell or injured. Use this information—not assumptions about one ideal diet or bedtime—to advise the group.

1.Which choice best supports a comfortable, active hike and basketball later? Choose one and explain your reasoning: (A) bring water and a range of familiar food, (B) skip food and drink to feel lighter, or (C) rely on energy drinks.

2.Nikau says, “If I skip lunch, I’ll definitely play better.” Is this a reliable claim? Give one reason for your answer.
