Question 9 • FL-1501300-Personal Fitness

Which suggested change would cause the greatest increase in the amount of overload in your weight-training workout?

Answer
A
adding more weight and increasing the distance over which the weight is moved
B
decreasing the weight and the speed at which the weight is moved
C
changing the type of activity you are using to give you more variety in your workout
D
keeping your current workout but dividing it up over five days instead of three

Explanation

Overload means increasing the demands placed on your body beyond its usual level. Adding weight increases the force your muscles must produce, and increasing the distance moved increases the work they do. Together, these changes create the greatest increase in overload; decreasing weight or spreading the same workout across more days would not increase it as much.
