<span>The correct answer is: B. Arching the neck and back puts stress on the spine<span>.

A hamstring stretch refers to a stretching pose or technique where you extend your hamstring (underside of your thigh) to its full capacity. When performing a hamstring stretch, it is important to keep your neck straight and avoid arching it, because by doing so, you are putting undue stress and straining your spine instead of targeting your hamstrings. </span></span>

RoseWind [281]
Exercise programs and sports activities can differ in number of participants from one person doing an activity like jogging or swimming, to hundreds of participants at a track meet. Structure can be loose in solo exercises where you can set your own pace, or be very strict in most competitive sports. Competition varies from none to highly competitive, and can be on an individual or team level. More complex sports and activities can present a high skill level.

alexandr1967 [171]
Genital warts are the most common viral sexually transmitted infection (STI). They are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) which can be passed on during sexual contact. Not everyone who has the virus develops genital warts. For most people, including those who have visible warts, the virus will be cleared from the body over time. It is rare for genital warts to cause any long-term health problems.

identify the piece of home fitness equipment that requires the most maintenance and discuss the key steps for maintenance
Lunna [17]

The most maintained home fitness equipment is the treadmills. Once or twice a week, clean the motor cover and unprotected areas of the deck and its stop button operation. Use vacuum to clean the motor electronic compartment and underneath any treadmill that’s on the carpet once a month, this would help keep treadmill machines away from carpet fiber. For treadmills with programmed wax oil frameworks, check and clean the wax spout every month. Try not to utilize cleaning solution to wipe the belt; this will disable the lubrication framework. Each a few months, check the belt tension and tracking and investigate the equipment (stray pieces), belt and deck for wear each three to a half year.
