Question

which suggested change would cause the greatest increase in the amount of overload in your weight - training workout? a. adding more weight and increasing the distance over which the weight is moved b. decreasing the weight and the speed at which the weight is moved c. changing the type of activity you are using to give you more variety in your workout d. keeping your current workout but dividing it up over five days instead of three please select the best answer from the choices provided.

Explanation:

Overload in weight - training is increased by increasing the stress on the muscles. Adding more weight and increasing the distance over which the weight is moved both increase the work done on the muscles, thus increasing the overload. Decreasing weight and speed (Option B) reduces the stress. Changing activity type (Option C) may change the muscle groups targeted but not necessarily increase overload. Dividing the current workout over more days (Option D) spreads out the workload and does not increase the overload.

Answer:

A. adding more weight and increasing the distance over which the weight is moved
