you should always request the assistance of a spotter to ensure that you (5 points)
a avoid potential injuries
b maximize muscular benefits
c employ proper resistance
d track your improvement

Explanation:

First Question (about Tracee carrying the chair)

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option a (strength): Muscular strength is the ability to exert force for a short time. But carrying a chair across a parking lot, up stairs, and into an apartment involves sustained effort over a period, not just short - term force.
• Option b (endurance): Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions or to hold a static contraction over an extended period. Carrying the chair over a long distance and up stairs requires the muscles to work for an extended time, so this fits.
• Option c (resistance): Resistance is more about the force the muscles work against, not the muscle's ability shown here.
• Option d (balance): Balance is about maintaining equilibrium, which is not the main ability demonstrated in carrying the chair over a distance and up stairs.

We analyze each option:

• Option a (avoid potential injuries): A spotter's main role is to help in case of failure during an exercise (like lifting weights), to prevent the weight from causing injury. For example, in bench pressing, a spotter can catch the bar if the lifter can't complete the rep, thus avoiding injury.
• Option b (maximize muscular benefits): A spotter doesn't directly help in maximizing muscular benefits. Muscular benefits come from the exercise itself, like the load and repetition, not from the spotter.
• Option c (employ proper resistance): A spotter isn't responsible for ensuring proper resistance. Resistance is set by the weight or exercise type chosen.
• Option d (track your improvement): A spotter isn't involved in tracking improvement. Tracking improvement is done by keeping records of weights, reps, etc.

Answer:

b. endurance
