The following variables improve after 12 weeks of supervised resistance training except?
Answer:
Option B (Body mass index)
Explanation: Body mass index (BMI) of an individual is calculated by taking the ration between the weights of an individual in kg to that of the square of the height of the individual in meters.
The index BMI is commonly used to give us an idea regarding the weight of an individual; however it is never used as a direct method for the assessment of the obesity or health of an individual.
Prolonged supervised resistance training under strict supervision proves itself to be extremely beneficial and effective in managing the blood pressure regulatory changes, body weight of an individual, and also the underlying endothelial function. However, body mass index as also takes into consideration the height of the individual and is never a direct assessment method remains unchanged during the training schedules.
Blood pressure: It is the resistance which is offered by the blood vessels namely the arteries and the veins when the blood flows through them. A blood pressure can be high or low depicting the conditions of the impairment of the body metabolism. With a trained exercise program, the blood pressure fluctuations can always be managed
Body weight: It is measured in kilograms. It is defined as the amount of the adipose tissues which gets deposited in the body cells. A continuous exercise and training program can account for a reduction in the body weight and likewise it can be improved
Endothelial cells are the underlying basement membrane supporting the interior of the different organs; heart and the blood vessels. They are known to perform significant important functions by releasing certain substances which causes the effective functioning of the immune system and other various important processes. Significant training exercises are known to modulate their functioning.
