FTCE Physical Education K-12 Practice Test

What type of skills tests involve kicking, throwing, or striking an object toward a goal?

1. Skills tests for total bodily movement

2. Skills tests for accuracy

3. Skills tests for endurance

4. Combination tests

The correct answer is: Skills tests for accuracy

The correct answer focuses on skills tests that measure precision in performing actions such as kicking, throwing, or striking an object toward a goal. These activities require the individual to aim accurately to achieve a desired outcome, which directly aligns with the concept of accuracy in skills testing. Accuracy tests are designed to evaluate how well someone can control their movements to hit a specific target or achieve a precise action, making it pertinent for activities that involve projecting an object with intent, like sports involving balls or other projectiles. In contrast, total bodily movement tests typically assess overall physical capabilities or movements without a specific focus on precision. Endurance tests evaluate stamina and how long a person can perform a physical activity but do not concentrate on skill execution toward a target. Combination tests would examine multiple skill aspects, not specifically focusing on accuracy in the context of aiming at a target.
