Question

which of the following statements best explains why the same exercise program might conform to the principle of overload for one person but not for another?
a. different individuals have different levels of physical fitness.
b. physical activity only leads to increased health benefits when it is above normal levels.
c. bodies adapt to increased physical demands placed upon them.
d. the same exercise programs always conform to the principle of overload.
please select the best answer from the choices provided.
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

The principle of overload states that in order to improve physical fitness, the body must be subjected to a greater stress than it is accustomed to. However, what constitutes an "overload" varies from person to person because different individuals have different levels of physical fitness. For example, a beginner might find a 20 - minute jog to be an overload, while a trained athlete would not. Option B talks about health benefits but not about why the same program is an overload for one and not for another. Option C is about the body's adaptation (which is related to the principle of overload in general but not the reason for individual differences). Option D is incorrect as the same exercise program does not always conform to the principle of overload for everyone.

Answer:

A. Different individuals have different levels of physical fitness.
