As fitness develops, heart rate can be a good indication of fitness because:
  1. There will be a significant increase in maximum heart rate.
  2. Heart rate will stay below 100 bpm at all times.
  3. The rate of recovery will improve and is measurable on a heart rate monitor (HRM).
  4. Heart rate only measures level of effort and is not a good indication of fitness.
Explanation
Answer: C- As fitness develops, heart rate can be a good indication of fitness because the rate of recovery will improve and is measurable on an HRM. As cardiovascular fitness develops, the heart rate will return to normal resting levels faster after a workout. Participants using a heart rate monitor can measure the rate of heart rate recovery (reduction in heart rate per minute after exercise) to monitor their fitness development.
