Quentins’s football team does a competition each year to see who can lift the most weight in one single bench press lift. Last year, Quentin won by lifting 250 pounds. What component of fitness does this most likely demonstrate?

Answer 1

Quentin's ability to lift 250 pounds in a single bench press lift primarily demonstrates muscular strength. Muscular strength is the maximum amount of force that a muscle or group of muscles can exert in a single effort, which is exactly what is being tested in a one-rep max bench press competition.
