Nick added five yards to the maximum distance that he can throw a football. Which component has he most likely added to his training regimen?

a. running every day
b. stretching before his run
c. weight lifting twice a week
d. warming up before weight lifting

Answer 1

Weight lifting twice a week, because he has had to build up muscle strength to exert more force while throwing the ball, thus making the ball travel further.

Answer 2

The correct answer is c. weight lifting twice a week
