Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The cool-down period follows the exercise routine and usually lasts about 5 to 10 minutes. The purposes of weight training from a health perspective are to develop tone and strength and to simulate and maintain healthy bone. Stretching and flexibility exercises are ideal for warm-up and cool-down periods. The recommended frequency of aerobic exercise is 3 to 5 times per week or every other day for approximately 30 minutes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Within the inner ear are the semicircular canals, three fluid-filled structures that help maintain balance. Proprioception is the awareness of the position of the body and its parts, and proprioceptors are located on nerve endings, not the inner ear. Muscle strength is maintained with activity and exercise. Although body alignment is important, it is not maintained by the inner ear.
