Question

if you wanted to increase your muscular endurance, it would be important to participate in activities that
a. increase the size of the muscle cells and the amount of blood that is delivered to the muscle
b. decrease the amount of fuel that the muscle can store and increase the time it takes for the muscle to contract
c. increase the number of muscles and decrease the size of the muscle cells
d. decrease the length of the muscle and increase the thickness of the muscle
please select the best answer from the choices provided.

Explanation:

Muscular endurance is related to the ability of muscles to perform repeated contractions over a long - time. Increasing the size of muscle cells (hypertrophy) and the amount of blood delivered to the muscle (better oxygen and nutrient supply), as well as the amount of fuel (such as glycogen) the muscle can store and the time it takes for the muscle to contract (slower fatigue rate) all contribute to increased muscular endurance.

Answer:

A. increase the size of the muscle cells and the amount of blood that is delivered to the muscle
