\begin{array} {|c|c|c|}
\hline Athlete & Weight & Sets &Repetitions & Exercise Speed \\
\hline A & \text{Very heavy}\ & 5-6 & 2-5 & \text{Slow}\ \\
\hline B & \text{Light/medium}\ & 3-6 & 15-20 & \text{Moderate}\ \\
\hline
\end{array}

\(A\)

Show Worked Solution
  • A is correct: Heavy weight/low reps develops absolute strength, light weight/high reps develops endurance.

Other Options:

  • B is incorrect: Slow speed doesn’t develop power, light weight doesn’t optimise mass.
  • C is incorrect: Heavy weight/low reps develops strength not endurance.
  • D is incorrect: Light weight/high reps develops endurance not absolute strength.
