8. Pre-Test Get ready, because here you’re about to engage in an exercise that examines how much you already know about muscular strength and endurance. Question #1: For women, weight training typically results in which of the following? A.) Bulky muscles B.) Significant increases in body weight C.) Improved body image

Significant increases in body weight C.) Improved body image

10. Content Presentation Fast-twitch fibers contract more rapidly and forcefully than slow-twitch fibers but fatigue more quickly. Although oxygen is important in the energy system that fuels fast-twitch fibers, they rely more on anaerobic, nonoxidative metabolism than do slow-twitch fibers. If your memory is working, this should sound familiar, since you learned all about energy systems in Chapter 3!
