Question

You have now learned the importance and benefits of weight training and cardiovascular activity. decide which athlete might use the least amount of weight training in his or her preperation

Answer 1

Weight training is followed by many athletes of different sports because it gives them extra power and explosive strength due to extra muscles which helps them to perform well in the game.

Endurance athletes might use the least amount of weight training in his or her preparation because endurance athletes do not require explosive strength rather they require endurance to run longer.

Even endurance athletes do not prefer to do extra weight training because it puts extra weight in their body in the form of extra muscles which can cause early tiredness in long races in them.

Therefore the correct answer is endurance athletes who use the least amount of weight training in his or her preparation.

Answer 2

cross-country runner does not need weight training. this is because weight training usually leads to building of the enormous muscle and strength. since a cross country runner is running for longer distance he/she does not need to build muscle because he/she will gain a lot of weight which will make him/her heavy and will not be able to run for prolonged distances. in fact he/she should train in cardiovascular activities because this category will enable him run longer distances.
