A person's strength depends upon the ____ of their muscles.
Correct Answer(s)
sizeExplanation
The size of a person's muscles is directly related to their strength. Larger muscles have more mass and therefore more potential for generating force, resulting in increased strength. This is why individuals who engage in strength training exercises often focus on increasing the size of their muscles through resistance training and progressive overload.Rate this question:

A person’s aerobic endurance depends on their muscles ability to use ______
Correct Answer(s)
OxygenExplanation
A person's aerobic endurance depends on their muscles' ability to use oxygen. During aerobic exercise, the body requires a constant supply of oxygen to produce energy. Oxygen is used by the muscles to break down glucose and fatty acids, releasing energy in the form of ATP. The more efficiently the muscles can utilize oxygen, the longer a person can sustain aerobic activity without fatigue. This is why improving aerobic endurance often involves training the cardiovascular system to deliver more oxygen to the muscles and improving the muscles' ability to use oxygen effectively.Rate this question:

...in order to increase this, you must overload them through __________ training.
Correct Answer(s)
resistance
weight
weights
StrengthExplanation
To increase something, you must overload it through resistance training, which involves using weights or other forms of resistance. Strength training is a type of resistance training that focuses on building muscle strength and endurance. Therefore, all of the options given (resistance, weight, weights, and Strength) can be used to achieve the desired increase.Rate this question:
- 19.
When completing this type of training to improve your strength you should lift _____ weights.
Correct Answer(s)
Heavy
Many
Lots
BigExplanation
When completing strength training, it is recommended to lift heavy weights in order to challenge and stimulate muscle growth. Lifting heavy weights puts more stress on the muscles, leading to greater strength gains. Additionally, lifting many or lots of weights implies performing multiple repetitions or sets, which helps to increase muscular endurance and overall strength. Using big weights may also refer to lifting heavy weights, as larger weights typically require more strength to lift.Rate this question:

...with _____ rest periods.
Correct Answer(s)
long
Good
1 minute
60 secondsExplanation
The correct answer is "long". This is because the question is asking for the type of rest periods that are associated with something. The other options, "Good", "1 minute", and "60 seconds" do not make sense in the context of rest periods. Therefore, "long" is the most appropriate answer.Rate this question:
- 21.
...between ____ sets and reps.
Correct Answer(s)
Low
Few
3
4
5Explanation
The given answer options are all related to the concept of sets and reps in exercise. "Low" and "few" both indicate a small number, while "3," "4," and "5" represent specific numerical values. In the context of exercise, sets refer to a group of repetitions of an exercise, while reps refer to the number of times an exercise is performed within a set. Therefore, the correct answer could be any combination of these options, as they all relate to the concept of sets and reps in exercise.Rate this question:
- 22.
.....over a _____ period of time.
Correct Answer(s)
Long
ExtendedExplanation
The correct answer is "Long, Extended". Both "long" and "extended" can be used to describe a period of time that is longer than usual or expected. These words indicate a duration that is greater in length, suggesting that the time being referred to is significantly longer than average or standard.Rate this question:
