*not a full formal answer just the gist*

Society encourages conformity by setting trends and standards that if you don't meet them you are outcast and looked down upon. Take for example sexuality not long ago if you weren't heterosexual you were seen as less and encouraged to change to fit in. Another example is school. If you don't do things popular kids do or pressure you to do you are "punished" one way or another.. Also take slavery for example. If the slaves didn't conform and follow directions perfectly and correctly when they were told they were beaten. Slaves were beaten in to submission. Slavery is a good example to use because everybody knows about slavery.

If we wanted to compare muscular endurance between a very large person and a very small person, what method would be the BEST me

vitfil [10]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Explanation:

To measure and compare the muscular endurance of two persons with completely different physical features, the best method is the Fixed percentage method.

With this method, first, you determine the 1 RM (one repetition max) or the maximum weight this person can lift in a full repetition. Then you use 70% of that weight to calculate the muscular endurance.

If someone's RM is 200 lb, then you will use 140 lb (70% of 1 RM) to conduct the test.

This method takes into account the person's specific capabilities, as the 70% of a 140 lb person will be completely different from the one of a 210 lb person.
