  1. Familiarizing students with techniques for calculating respiration rates during aerobic activity.
  2. Promoting students' ability to distinguish between aerobic and anaerobic activity.
  3. Introducing students to basic cardiorespiratory fitness principles in the context of a physical activity.

A female high school student is concerned about doing strength-training exercises in a fitness class. She tells the physical education teacher that she wants to be stronger, but not at the cost of developing large muscles. Which of the following is an accurate principle to include in a response to this concern?
  1. Toned muscles are necessary for gains in size and strength, so only females who begin training with well-defined muscles will develop larger ones.
  2. Although training improves the weight-bearing capacity of bones and joints, it has little effect on the muscular strength of females.
  3. Training promotes considerable gains in strength but only slight increases in muscle bulk because of females' low testosterone levels.
  4. Only lower body training causes females to gain significant muscle bulk because their leg strength-to-weight ratios are higher than male ratios.
