Question

select the correct answer. why do stretching exercises increase flexibility more than cardio exercises? a. cardio exercises do not require a full range of motion. b. cardio exercises improve the strength of the limbs. c. cardio exercises consist of fluid movements. d. cardio exercises depend on increased oxygen flow.

Explanation:

To determine why stretching exercises increase flexibility more than cardio exercises, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Cardio exercises (like running, cycling) typically don't focus on a full range of motion, while stretching directly targets lengthening muscles and increasing joint mobility by working through a full range. This explains why stretching boosts flexibility more.
• Option B: Improving limb strength (from cardio) doesn't relate to flexibility increase, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: Fluid movements in cardio don't address flexibility enhancement, so C is wrong.
• Option D: Oxygen flow in cardio is for endurance/heart health, not flexibility, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

A. Cardio exercises do not require a full range of motion.
