Which of the following exercise activities would most likely provide the opportunity for mind-body awareness?
a. Warm-up activity
b. Resistance training
c. Aerobic exercise
d. Cool-down activity
ANS: D
The cool-down period allows the body to readjust gradually to baseline functioning and provides an opportunity to combine movement such as stretching with relaxation-enhancing mind-body awareness. The warm-up activity prepares the body and decreases the potential for injury. Aerobic exercise includes running, bicycling, jumping rope, and so forth, and is the main portion of exercise activity; it precedes the cool-down period. Resistance training increases muscle strength and endurance and is associated with improved performance of daily activities but not with enhancing mind-body awareness.
