Question

Marius just completed his swimming workout. Which of these activities would best target a key muscle in his cool down routine?
A: Hurdler's stretch
B: Calf stretch
C: Shoulder stretch
D: Abdominal stretch

Answer 1

Correct answer choice is:

C: Shoulder stretch

It is really important to do cool down exercise after swimming because it may lead to certain consequences which one can not afford for a healthy and fit body. Exercise like stretching your Calf and Foot Muscles can be done in or out of the pool, but it's compulsory. Similarly stretching your Arms and your Back can help you to cool down.

Answer 2

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Which of these activities would best target key muscles in his cool-down routine? Would be, C: Shoulder stretch.

Explanation:

The reason for this being the right answer is that Marius has been performing a type of physical activity that primarily stresses shoulder and leg muscles, but most particularly the shoulder and arm muscles. Given that the arms and shoulders will be responsible for breaking the resistance of the water, thus propelling Marius´ body through it, the muscles of these areas will present the most stress and workout. Because of this, once the exercize is done, it is very important for Marius to stretch the muscles during cool-down to prevent them from cramping, and from over-exhertion and fatigue. THis will also ensure that these muscles will be less prone to possible lesions, or damage.
