Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Ventilatory muscle training is based on the concept of progressive resistance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Lower extremity exercises may include either walking or bicycling. Patients can walk on a sta-tionary treadmill (with set goals for distance or time and grade) or on a flat, smooth surface. Pa-tients can bicycle on an exercise cycle. With the treadmill or stationary bicycle, patients are re-quired to cover a certain distance or duration every day that they are in the program.
