Running 30-40 minutes a day will improve which component of fitness?
A. muscular strength***
B. body composition
C. flexibility
D. muscular endurance
E. cardiovascular endurance
Which of the following components of fitness would improve by stretching daily
A. muscular strength
B. body composition
C. flexibility***
D. muscular endurance
E. cardiovascular endurance
The first on is wrong. Strength would be like lifting weights. What running for 30 min. does is increase your ability to run for longer. Which one is that?
The second one is correct.
Running 30-40 minutes a day will improve E. cardiovascular endurance, not A. muscular strength.
Stretching daily will improve C. flexibility, not A. muscular strength.
Running 30-40 minutes a day will improve E. cardiovascular endurance.
Stretching daily will improve C. flexibility.
To determine the answer to the first question, you need to know the components of fitness and their associated exercises. The components of fitness include muscular strength, body composition, flexibility, muscular endurance, and cardiovascular endurance.
Running for 30-40 minutes a day will primarily improve cardiovascular endurance (Option E). Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart, blood vessels, and lungs to supply oxygen and nutrients to the working muscles during prolonged periods of exercise. Running is a cardiovascular exercise that increases heart rate and helps improve the efficiency of the cardiovascular system.
To determine the answer to the second question, you need to understand that stretching primarily targets flexibility. Flexibility (Option C) is the ability of a joint or group of joints to move through a full range of motion. Stretching exercises, such as static stretching or dynamic stretching, help improve flexibility by lengthening and loosening muscles and tendons. By regularly stretching, the range of motion around a joint can increase, which may enhance performance in various activities and help reduce the risk of injuries.
