Question

question 2 of 5 which of the following sports requires a high level of fitness from the beginning? a. snorkeling b. snowboarding c. swimming d. cycling

Explanation:

• Snorkeling: Can be done with basic fitness as it involves floating and simple breathing through a snorkel, not requiring extremely high initial fitness.
• Snowboarding: While it requires balance and some strength, beginners can start with basic skills and build fitness over time.
• Swimming: To swim effectively (especially for safety and proper technique), a higher level of cardiovascular fitness, strength (to move through water), and endurance is needed from the start, as water provides resistance and improper technique or low fitness can lead to fatigue or safety issues quickly.
• Cycling: Beginners can start with slow, short rides and build up fitness gradually, as it's easier to adjust intensity.

Answer:

C. Swimming
