hyde wants to improve his lower body endurance. he can best do this by performing (5 points)

a weighted squats, 10 repetitions each set, with longer resting time between sets

b weighted squats, 18 repetitions each set, with shorter resting time between sets

c unweighted squats, 10 repetitions each set, with longer resting time between sets

d unweighted squats, 18 repetitions each set, with shorter resting time between sets

Explanation:

To improve lower - body endurance, we need to focus on high - repetition, low - rest, and relatively lower - intensity (unweighted is lower intensity than weighted for endurance - building) exercises.

• Option a: Weighted squats with 10 reps and long rest are more for strength, not endurance.
• Option b: Weighted squats with 18 reps but still weighted, and while reps are high, weighted is more for strength - endurance hybrid but not the best for pure endurance. Also, the focus for endurance is often on lighter or unweighted with high reps and short rest.
• Option c: Unweighted squats with 10 reps and long rest: 10 reps are not high enough for endurance, and long rest also doesn't support endurance training.
• Option d: Unweighted squats, 18 repetitions (high rep for endurance), with shorter resting time (to keep the heart rate up and work the muscles for endurance) is the best for improving lower - body endurance.

Answer:

d. unweighted squats, 18 repetitions each set, with shorter resting time between sets
