d. max push - up test

Explanation:

For the first question, specific fitness goals give a clear - cut plan and a way to track progress. They don't directly relate to avoiding over - training, minimizing rest periods, or decreasing exercise intensity. For the second question, the max sit - up test and max push - up test measure how many repetitions can be done, which is related to muscular endurance. A timed run measures cardiovascular endurance and a 1RM test measures muscular strength.

Answer:

1. c. To provide clear direction and measure progress
2. a. Max sit - up test, d. Max push - up test
