select the correct answer.
which activity is the best example of cardiovascular and strength - training exercises working together?
a. a football player sprints toward an opposing player and tackles him.
b. a runner jogs for 26 miles and then sprints 400 yards to the finish line.
c. a diver jumps off of a diving board and swims to the side of the pool.
d. a wrestler lifts his opponent and tosses him near the edge of the mat.

Explanation:

• Sprinting is a cardiovascular exercise as it elevates heart rate and improves endurance.
• Tackling involves using strength - the force exerted to bring down the opposing player.
• Option B (jogging and sprinting) is mainly cardiovascular.
• Option C (diving and swimming) has more to do with skills and some cardiovascular aspects but less on combined strength - training in the context of the question.
• Option D (wrestler lifting) is more of a strength - training activity with less clear cardiovascular component compared to option A.

Answer:

A. A football player sprints toward an opposing player and tackles him.
