A nurse has been asked to design an exercise program with the goal of increasing a client's muscular strength and endurance.Which exercise program would specifically focus on meeting that goal?
A) Flexibility training
B) Resistance training
C) Aerobic conditioning
D) Anaerobic conditioning
Muscular Strength
The maximum force that a muscle or group of muscles can generate during a single contraction, critical for physical health and performance.
Resistance Training
A form of physical activity that involves the use of resistance to induce muscular contraction, building the strength, anaerobic endurance, and size of skeletal muscles.
Endurance
The ability to sustain a physical or mental effort for a long period of time.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Resistance training involves movement against resistance,which increases muscular strength and endurance.Most commonly,resistance training refers to weight lifting and isotonic movement.When exercising for strength,the amount of resistance is increased with each exercise.When exercising for endurance,the number of repetitions is increased with each exercise.Flexibility training will not increase muscular strength.Aerobic and anaerobic conditioning may have some benefit on strength and endurance,but their primary focus is cardiovascular conditioning.
