Question

tomas is a 54 - year - old man experiencing back pain, and he would like to get into better shape. he is interested in joining his local gym where he can use exercise bands and weight machines. what type of physical activity fits these criteria for tomas? muscle strengthening, cardiorespiratory, bone strengthening, balance/stretching

Explanation:

Tomas has back - pain and wants to get in better shape. Muscle strengthening can help support the back and improve overall body strength. Cardio can enhance his overall fitness but may not directly address back - pain as effectively as muscle strengthening. Bone strengthening is important for his age but not the most crucial for his back - pain and general fitness goal. Balance/stretching alone may not be enough to build the strength needed.

Answer:

Muscle strengthening
