Question

select the correct answer. why do stretching exercises increase flexibility more than cardio exercises? a. cardio exercises do not require a full range of motion. b. cardio exercises improve the strength of the limbs. c. cardio exercises consist of fluid movements. d. cardio exercises depend on increased oxygen flow.

Explanation:

To determine why stretching exercises increase flexibility more than cardio exercises, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Cardio exercises (e.g., running, cycling) often don't require a full range of motion, so they don't target flexibility like stretching (which focuses on extending joints/muscles through full ranges) does.
• Option B: Improving limb strength is not related to why cardio doesn't increase flexibility as much as stretching.
• Option C: Fluid movements in cardio don't explain the difference in flexibility improvement.
• Option D: Oxygen flow in cardio relates to endurance/energy, not flexibility.

So, the correct reason is that cardio exercises do not require a full range of motion.

Answer:

A. Cardio exercises do not require a full range of motion.
