Question 6 • FL-1501300-Personal Fitness

An individual has sarcopenia. In order to prevent this condition from becoming any worse, what action should be taken?

Answer
A
decrease the amount of time spent exercising each week
B
participate in more activities like weight training
C
cut back on the use of heavy weights
D
increase supplements and eat a healthier diet

Explanation

Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass and strength, so resistance exercise can help slow its progression. Weight training challenges muscles and helps maintain or build strength. Reducing exercise or avoiding heavy weights would not address muscle loss as effectively, and supplements alone are not a substitute for strength training. The best answer is B, participate in more activities like weight training.
