Which of the following observation techniques is used for measuring fitness instruction time?

The correct answer is SOFIT, which stands for System for Observing Fitness Instruction Time. This observation technique is specifically designed to measure the amount of time and the quality of fitness instruction occurring in various settings, such as schools and gym classes. SOFIT helps evaluate the effectiveness of physical education programs by focusing on the time students engage in fitness-related activities. It utilizes structured observation methods to quantify aspects like teacher behavior, student activity levels, and instructional time, providing valuable insights into the fitness instructional environment.

The other options do not focus specifically on measuring fitness instruction time. SOPARC (System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities) is used for observing community physical activity and environment, while SMART (Student Motivation and Related Task) and SODEM (System for Observing Daily Exercise and Movement) serve different purposes and contexts unrelated to directly assessing fitness instruction time.
