Explanation:

1. The bicep is indeed a muscle in the upper arm. So answer: TRUE.
2. The tricep is a muscle in the upper arm, not the upper leg. So answer: FALSE.
3. PRT stands for Progressive Resistance Training. So answer: TRUE.
4. Isometric exercises involve static contraction with no movement of body parts. So answer: TRUE.
5. The ability to use muscles many times without tiring is muscular endurance, not strength. So answer: FALSE.
6. The principle of overload states that to gain benefits, the body must do more than usual. The statement has a spelling error ("prinicipal") but the concept is correct. So answer: TRUE.
7. Side stand and sitting tuck are examples of muscular endurance tests. So answer: TRUE.
8. The bench press can be used as a muscular strength test. So answer: TRUE.
9. Standing long jump and medicine ball throw are tests of power. So the statement "are not examples" is false. Answer: FALSE.
10. Isokinetic exercises require a special machine to control movement speed. So answer: TRUE.
11. 1RM is defined as the maximum weight one can lift once. So answer: TRUE.
12. Olympic - style weightlifting is a sport, not just an exercise program. So answer: FALSE.
13. Isotonic exercises involve movement (e.g., lifting weights). So the statement "do not require movement" is false. Answer: FALSE.
14. Plyometrics (e.g., jump training) is designed to build power. So answer: TRUE.
15. Muscular fitness includes muscular strength, endurance, and power. So answer: TRUE.
