Answer: The correct answer is,( A ) which is intermittent claudication.

Explanation: peripheral vascular disease is a disease/disorder of the circulatory system characterised by blockage or narrowing of the lumen of arteries that supply blood to the limbs by fatty deposits and calcium thus impairing blood supply to the limbs.

It can be caused by smoking, diabetes and ageing process.

Treatment is by the administration of lipid lowering drugs,anti coagulants like heparin,blood thinners and vasodilators.

Prevention is by cessation of smoking and sedentary lifestyle, regular exercise and adequate diet.

How many repetitions of an example will best improve muscular strength?
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

1-6

Explanation:

Increase in muscle mass, ie muscle cell hypertrophy, is achieved through training with a load not exceeding 85% of maximum. Large muscle groups such as pectoralis, latissimus, and quadriceps are trained in 4 batches per workout, but the number of batches per muscle group should not exceed 12. For smaller muscle groups such as biceps and triceps it is enough to make 3 series. Exercises are performed at a slow pace to maximize muscle contraction and extend the amount of time the muscle spends under load.

Number of batches per exercise: 4

Number of exercises per muscle group: 3

Number of reps per exercise: 8 - 12 (10 is ideal)

Load: 70 - 85% of maximum load

Rest: 60 - 90 seconds
