Question

question 4 of 5
what is not true about exercise in the modern era?

a. u.s. masters swimming has an age category of 100 and over.

b. people of all ages run marathons.

c. most dedicated athletes are forced to retire because of health
issues.

d. weight lifting is not considered safe for most middle - aged people.

Explanation:

To determine the incorrect statement, we analyze each option:

• Option A: U.S. Masters Swimming does have an age category of 100 and over, so this is true.
• Option B: Marathons are participated in by people of various ages, so this is true.
• Option C: Most dedicated athletes aren't typically forced to retire due to health issues; many retire for other reasons (e.g., age, career changes), so this is not true.
• Option D: Weight lifting can be safe for middle - aged people with proper form and guidance, so the claim that it's not safe for most is false. But we are looking for the "not true" statement, and option C is more clearly incorrect as the general statement about most dedicated athletes being forced to retire due to health is inaccurate.

Answer:

C. Most dedicated athletes are forced to retire because of health issues.
