9/20
What is resistance training?
9/20
Resistance training enhances muscle strength by working against an external force, like weights or resistance bands.
10/20
What are cardiovascular activities?
10/20
Cardiovascular activities increase heart rate and stamina, including running, cycling, and jumping rope.
11/20
What is muscle stamina?
11/20
