Question

multiple choice 6.66 points which activity best demonstrates specificity of training? weight training to develop cardiorespiratory endurance doing push - ups to develop chest and shoulder endurance running to develop flexibility bicycling to develop back strength

Explanation:

The specificity of training principle states that the exercise should be specific to the goal. Push - ups target the chest and shoulder muscles, so doing push - ups to develop chest and shoulder endurance is specific. Weight training is more for strength, running for cardio/leg endurance and flexibility, and bicycling for leg/cardio endurance, not back strength.

Answer:

C. doing push - ups to develop chest and shoulder endurance (assuming the options are labeled A: weight training to develop cardiorespiratory endurance, B: running to develop flexibility, C: doing push - ups to develop chest and shoulder endurance, D: bicycling to develop back strength)
