select the correct answer
playing certain sports increases your muscular fitness, which increases your metabolism. what will likely not increase during such sports?
○ a. digestion rate
○ b. heart size
○ c. bone density
○ d. range of motion

Explanation:

During sports that increase muscular fitness and metabolism, the digestion rate (A) may increase to process more nutrients. Bone density (C) can increase with weight - bearing activities. Range of motion (D) can improve with stretching and movement in sports. However, heart size is a long - term adaptation (like in athletes over a long period of training, not likely to increase during a single session or short - term sports participation in the context of this question). Heart rate may increase during sports, but heart size is a more structural and long - term change compared to the other options which can be more immediately or commonly affected during sports.

Answer:

B. heart size
