Assume the Six Variables Tended to Cluster into Two Dimensions

question 5

Multiple Choice

Assume the six variables tended to cluster into two dimensions (i.e. two factors) . The first dimension (aerobic) involved aerobic capacity, peak expiratory flow and haematocrit, whilst the second dimension (strength) involved static muscular strength, muscular endurance and isoinertial muscular strength. Ideally, how would we expect to see the relationships between the variables and the factors (coordinates) presented graphically on x- and y-axes?

• A) High on one axis (e.g. aerobic), low on the other axis (e.g. strength)
• B) High on one axis (e.g. aerobic), high on the other axis (e.g. strength)
• C) Low on one axis (e.g. aerobic), low on the other axis (e.g. strength)
• D) Moderate on one axis (e.g. aerobic), low on the other axis (e.g. strength)
