a person with which of the following conditions would be advised to refrain from heavy weight lifting?
□ hypertension
□ arrhythmias
□ hernias
□ hypercholesterolemia

Explanation:

Heavy weight - lifting can increase blood pressure and strain on the body. Hypertension can be exacerbated by the sudden increase in blood pressure during heavy lifting. Arrhythmias may be triggered or worsened by the physical stress. Hernias can be made worse as heavy lifting increases intra - abdominal pressure. Hypercholesterolemia is mainly related to lipid levels and diet, and is not directly affected by heavy weight - lifting in terms of immediate risk.

Answer:

A. Hypertension
B. Arrhythmias
C. Hernias
