Question

Yahaira is ready to reach the next level in her fitness. She is in great shape, but she still lacks the power needed to lift heavy objects. Which of the following sports would best help Yahaira improve her power?
Freestyle swimming
Road cycling
Flag football
Beach volleyball

Answer 1

Answer:

Beach volleyball

Answer 2

The correct answer is beach volleyball.

To lift an object, Yahaira will mostly need power in her legs. Since freestyle swimming and road cycling are heavily cardio activities, she will not gain a lot of muscle mass in her legs, which is what she needs. Flag football would also be mostly cardio, since she wouldn't be accruing muscle mass to tackle others.

The answer is beach volleyball, because in volleyball, the majority of the power has to come from your legs when you bump, set, or spike the ball. This will increase her muscle mass, which will help her in lifting heavy objects.
