Among the listed items, which is a Preparation Drill exercise with a named cadence?

• A. Bent Leg Body Twist
• B. Forward Lunge
• C. Prone Row
• D. Push-up (Moderate Cadence)

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is recognizing which Preparation Drill item uses a defined tempo, a named cadence. Preparation Drill is a brief warm-up sequence done at a steady, controlled pace so everyone moves together. A named cadence specifies that tempo, like calling out “moderate cadence” to keep the group in sync and protect joints during early activity. The push-up performed at a moderate cadence fits this idea because it is a common PD move that is executed to a labeled tempo, ensuring uniform timing across participants. The other movements listed are standard exercises or mobility/strength actions that don’t specify a cadence, so they don’t fit the notion of a Preparation Drill item with a named tempo. Therefore, the best choice is the push-up with moderate cadence.
