Answer 6

The athlete who might use the least amount of weight training in his/her preparation is the **cross-country runner**. Cross-country runners typically focus more on endurance, cardiovascular fitness, and running technique rather than heavy weight training, which is more emphasized in sports like football, wrestling, and baseball.

Answer 7

If your goal is to build muscle mass, you should NOT use **low intensity (lighter weights)**. While lighter weights can be useful for endurance training or rehabilitation, building muscle mass typically requires using heavier weights and higher intensity.

Answer 8

You should always **stretch properly** before lifting weights. Warming up and stretching can help prevent injuries and prepare your muscles for the workout ahead. While drinking water and eating are also important aspects of overall preparation, stretching is specifically crucial for an effective weightlifting session.

Answer 9

The weight training machine you may find in a gym is the **Universal machine**. The Universal machine typically includes various attachments and settings that allow you to perform different weight training exercises. The elliptical trainer, stair climber, and treadmill are all cardiovascular exercise machines.

Answer 10

Here are the correct matches for the descriptions:

- **Number of pounds the weight lifting bar weighs**: **45**
- **Single dumbbells that are held independently in each hand**: **free weights**

The remaining options, "35" and "weight machine," are not applicable for these specific descriptions.

Answer 11

The correct response is: **Universal machines are safer because the weights are not above the body.**

This highlights one of the main benefits of universal machines, which provide a guided pathway for the weights, making them easier and safer to use compared to free weights, especially for beginners.
