Question

which of the following is not a clear example of the application of the principle of specificity? a. lifting weights to build muscle strength b. running to become a better runner c. bicycling to build leg strength d. swimming to improve coordination please select the best answer from the choices provided.

Explanation:

The principle of specificity states that the body adapts specifically to the type of stress it is placed under. Lifting weights builds muscle strength directly related to the weight - lifting activity, running improves running ability, and bicycling builds leg strength relevant to cycling. Swimming is mainly for improving swimming - related skills and endurance, not a direct and clear - cut way to improve general coordination compared to the other activities and their specific goals.

Answer:

D. swimming to improve coordination
