Question

which of these schedules follow the guidelines for a teenager’s daily physical activity? select the two correct answers.

a. 30 minutes playing soccer, 20 minutes climbing a rock wall, and 10 minutes practicing yoga
b. 15 minutes raking leaves and 15 minutes walking
c. 30 minutes practicing gymnastics and 30 minutes cycling
d. 15 minutes washing dishes, 10 minutes shopping at the mall, and 10 minutes dancing

Explanation:

To determine the correct answers, we analyze each option based on what constitutes physical activity for a teenager:

• Option A: Playing soccer (30 min), climbing a rock wall (20 min), and practicing yoga (10 min) are all forms of physical activity. The total is 60 minutes, which is appropriate for a teenager's daily physical activity.
• Option B: Raking leaves (15 min) and walking (15 min) are physical activities, but the total is 30 minutes. Teenagers should aim for at least 60 minutes of moderate - to - vigorous physical activity daily, so this is insufficient.
• Option C: Practicing gymnastics (30 min) and cycling (30 min) are both physical activities, and the total is 60 minutes, meeting the daily physical activity guidelines for teenagers.
• Option D: Washing dishes and shopping at the mall are not typically considered moderate - to - vigorous physical activities. Only 10 minutes of dancing is a physical activity, so this does not meet the guidelines.

Answer:

A. 30 minutes playing soccer, 20 minutes climbing a rock wall, and 10 minutes practicing yoga
C. 30 minutes practicing gymnastics and 30 minutes cycling
