steady improvement

Explanation:

Question 14

Warming up before exercise is not to burn more calories (as warm - up is low - intensity and not for calorie - burning mainly), not to tire muscles (we want to prepare muscles, not tire them), and while it may help with soreness to some extent, the main importance is to reduce injury risk by preparing the body (increasing blood flow, loosening joints, activating muscles) for the upcoming activity.

Steady improvement, more motivation, and muscle growth are signs of proper training or progress. Overtraining occurs when the body is over - stressed, leading to decreased performance (as the body can't recover properly) and persistent fatigue (due to excessive physical stress without enough recovery).

Answer:

D. To reduce injury risk and prepare the body for activity
