Question

select the correct answer. which of these activities should be done before starting a weight - training session? a. relajación b. levantamiento c. calentamiento d. estiramient

Explanation:

To determine the correct activity before a weight - training session, we analyze the options:

• Option A: "relajación" means "relaxation". Relaxation is usually done after a workout, not before, to help the body recover.
• Option B: "levantamiento" means "lifting" (as in weight - lifting). Lifting weights is the main activity of the weight - training session, not something done before it.
• Option C: "calentamiento" means "warming - up". Warming up is a crucial activity before starting a weight - training session. It increases blood flow to the muscles, raises body temperature, and prepares the body for the physical stress of weight training, reducing the risk of injury.
• Option D: "estiramiento" means "stretching". While stretching can be part of a warm - up, static stretching (the typical form of "estiramiento" in this context) is often more effective after a workout. Dynamic stretching is part of a warm - up, but the term "calentamiento" (warm - up) is a more general and appropriate term for the activity done before weight training.

Answer:

C. calentamiento
