Question

(01.01 LC)A parent wants to take her children to a location in the neighborhood where they can engage in bone-strengthening activities. Which location should the parent eliminate?

Answer 1

Answer: community swimming pool

Explanation:

The bone-strengthening activities are those activities that create a force of tension on the bones that promotes the strength of bones and also enhances their growth. Some of the examples of the bone-strengthening activities are skipping, running, weight lifting, basketball, tennis, hopping and jumping.

The fitness trail, dance studio or local playground are the locations where children can perform the bone-strengthening activities.

The community swimming pool must be eliminated as swimming will only help in exercising muscles and may increase the flexibility of the body but swimming will not put the force of tension on the bones hence, it cannot be considered as bone-strengthening exercise.

Answer 2

The parent should eliminate the community swimming pool because it is not somewhere you can perform a bone-strengthening activity, whereas a fitness trail, dance studio and local playground are places you can build bone strength
