Question

when a person is attempting a new sport, why is it helpful for them to understand fitness components ahead of time?
so they can focus equally on improving all fitness components to ensure success in the new sport
so they can adjust training to include activities that improve the components required for the new sport
so they can eliminate difficult activities based on their current proficiency in the related fitness component
so they can decide if attempting the new sport will improve components they have not focused on in the past

Explanation:

• Option 1: Different sports require different fitness components, so focusing equally on all is not helpful.
• Option 2: Understanding fitness components helps tailor training to the specific needs of the new sport, which is logical.
• Option 3: Eliminating difficult activities isn't the goal of understanding fitness components for a new sport.
• Option 4: The main purpose of understanding fitness components for a new sport is to prepare for it, not to decide if it improves neglected components.

Answer:

B. so they can adjust training to include activities that improve the components required for the new sport
