if an individual started running 10 miles three times a week, there would most likely be an
a. increase in flexibility
b. increase in muscular strength
c. increase in muscular endurance
d. increase in weight
please select the best answer from the choices provided.
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

• Option A: Flexibility is more related to stretching exercises, not long - distance running. So running 10 miles three times a week is not likely to increase flexibility.
• Option B: Muscular strength is typically built through resistance training (like weightlifting), not primarily through long - distance running which is more of an endurance - based activity.
• Option C: Running 10 miles three times a week is a form of aerobic exercise that challenges the muscles to work for an extended period. This type of exercise is known to increase muscular endurance, which is the ability of muscles to sustain repeated contractions or work over time.
• Option D: Running is a calorie - burning activity. Generally, it would lead to weight loss or maintenance rather than an increase in weight, especially with a regular running routine of 10 miles three times a week.

Answer:

C. increase in muscular endurance
