benefits of a strong core include (5 points)
a more efficient exertion of power
b more effective metabolism and digestion
c greater flexibility of the lower body
d relief of back pain

Explanation:

Question 1

Core conditioning focuses on strengthening the core muscles (abdomen, back, pelvis). Better posture is a direct benefit as strong core muscles support the spine. Increased speed is more related to leg strength and cardiovascular training. Improved cardio fitness is from aerobic exercises. Decreased stress is more from relaxation techniques or cardio, not core conditioning.

A strong core helps in stabilizing the body, which aids in more efficient power exertion (e.g., in sports or lifting). Metabolism/digestion are not directly affected by core strength. Core strength doesn't primarily increase lower - body flexibility. While a strong core can help with back pain prevention, the most direct and common benefit related to core function is more efficient power exertion.

Answer:

a. better posture
