There is a common misconception that working out every day will yield faster
and better results. While consistent exercise is vital for progress, the body
also requires adequate time to rest and recover. Overtraining can lead to
fatigue, decreased performance, and an increased risk of injury. It is essential
to strike a balance between challenging workouts and allowing sufficient
recovery time for muscles to repair and grow stronger.

In reality, the duration and intensity of workouts should be tailored to

individual fitness levels and goals. Quality workouts that target different
muscle groups and incorporate cardiovascular exercises can be more
effective than simply increasing the quantity of training sessions.

Some people believe that working out every day causes them to indulge in
unhealthy eating habits or neglect other aspects of their well-being. While
exercise is a crucial component of a healthy lifestyle, it should be
complemented by a balanced diet, sufficient sleep, and stress management.
Neglecting these other factors can hinder overall health and fitness progress.

Moreover, working out every day does not guarantee weight loss or body
transformation. While exercise contributes to calorie burning and muscle
development, weight loss also depends on factors like diet, genetics, and
overall lifestyle habits. A holistic approach that combines regular exercise
with a nutritious diet and healthy habits is key to achieving sustainable
results.

A. Debunking Myths About Daily Workouts

be is determined by _____.

D. the quantity of cardiovascular exercises

Question 36. The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to _____.

A. working out every day B. rest and recovery

C. overtraining D. fatigue and decreased performance

Question 37. The word “holistic” in paragraph 4 mostly means _____.

A. focused and specific

B. comprehensive and all-encompassing

C. intensive and rigorous

D. varied and diverse

Question 38. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your

answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
from 39 to 45.

Both strains and sprains share common signs and symptoms, including
immediate or delayed pain, tenderness in the soft tissue near the bone,
swelling, bruising, muscle spasms, and weakness or discomfort when using
the affected area.

Strains often occur when excessive pressure is exerted on a muscle, like

when lifting heavy objects. They are more likely to happen during physical
activity when the body is contracting, stretching, or working a specific body
part. Insufficient warm-up exercises that boost blood circulation to the
muscles can also contribute to strains, commonly affecting athletes in their
backs, necks, or legs.

Sprains, on the other hand, are typically caused by twisting an ankle or knee.
Although they commonly occur during sports, sprains can happen in various
situations. Interestingly, older kids and teenagers are more prone to sprains
than younger children.

To diagnose strains and sprains, doctors typically ask questions about the
injured area and conduct an examination, including assessing range of motion
and strength tests. In some cases, an X-ray or other imaging study may be
ordered to identify additional injuries like fractures, while ultrasounds can be
useful in diagnosing minor tears.

Treatment for strains and sprains often involves rest to protect and facilitate
healing of the injury. Swelling can be managed by applying ice wrapped in a
towel, using compression techniques like elastic bandages or compression
sleeves, and elevating the injured area. Immobilising the affected part with
wrapping or splinting may be necessary, followed by strengthening exercises
to promote muscle recovery. Pain medication is generally recommended for a
limited period.

Children and teenagers with a sprain or strain typically need to take a break
from sports until specific criteria are met. These include the reduction of
swelling, absence of pain during sports activities, approval from the doctor,
the ability to perform without limping, full range of motion in the injured area,
and restored strength.

Fortunately, strains and sprains usually heal without long-term complications.

It’s important to follow the doctor’s instructions diligently to promote a
speedy recovery. To prevent strains and sprains, encourage young athletes to
engage in thorough warm-up exercises before physical activity, incorporating
movements like jogging, high knees, butt kicks, and active stretching.
Additionally, encourage post-activity static stretching, where each stretch is
held for at least 30 seconds.

In the event of a strain or sprain, coaches, personal trainers, doctors, or

physical therapists can provide guidance on strengthening exercises to aid
recovery and minimise the risk of reinjury. With proper care and attention,
strains and sprains can be overcome, allowing individuals to return to their
favourite activities stronger and more resilient than ever.
