8-11 mmHg
5-7 mmHg
12-15 mmHg
3-4 mmHg
2. If an elderly individual wants to improve their overall health and reduce
the risk of falls, what type of training should they prioritize based on the
text?
Resistance training
Cardiovascular training
Flexibility training
High-intensity interval training
3. Describe how an increase in stroke volume contributes to a decrease in
resting heart rate after aerobic training.
An increase in stroke volume allows the heart to pump more
blood with each contraction, which means it doesn't need to
beat as frequently to maintain adequate blood flow.
An increase in stroke volume requires the heart to work harder,
thus increasing heart rate.
An increase in stroke volume leads to a decrease in blood
volume, which raises heart rate.
An increase in stroke volume has no effect on heart rate.
