Which block prescription sums to 14 units?

• A. 3/3/3/3/2
• B. 2/2/4/2/2
• C. 5/5/1/5/1
• D. 4/4/1/4/1

Answer: (D)

Block prescriptions are about allocating a total amount of workload across five movements. The pattern that fits the required total and distributes the workload across moves in a balanced way is the one that starts with two equal high-load moves, then a small move, then another high-load move, and ends with a small move. This pattern achieves the target total while alternating heavier and lighter work, which is a common approach in programming to keep stimulus varied and manageable. Other patterns either miss the target total or stack the same load too consistently across consecutive moves, making them less balanced for a five-movement block.
