which of the following statements about concentric muscle action is false:
the arm curl is a good example

it is usually termed positive.
question 2
1 pts
static strength is the amount of force a person can generate in a single effort, regardless of his or her body mass
true
false

Explanation:

For Question 1: Concentric muscle action involves the muscle shortening as it contracts and is able to overcome the load. It is not necessarily isotonic (constant - tension) as it can also be isokinetic (constant - speed). Lifting a weight is a common example of concentric muscle action.
For Question 2: Static strength is indeed the amount of force a person can generate in a single effort, regardless of body mass.

Answer:

Question 1: Without seeing the full options, it's hard to give a definite answer. But if one of the options is something like "It is always isotonic", that would likely be the false statement.
Question 2: True
