A benefit of optimal Body composition includes:

  1. Decreased risk of cardiorespiratory disease

  2. Lowered endurance

  3. Decreased basal metabolic rate

  4. Reduced muscular capacity

The correct answer is: Decreased risk of cardiorespiratory disease

Optimal body composition refers to the ratio of lean body mass to fat mass in an individual. Having a higher proportion of lean body mass (such as muscle) to fat mass is associated with various health benefits, including a decreased risk of cardiorespiratory diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and respiratory problems. This is because having more muscle mass can improve cardiovascular health and overall functional capacity. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they all have potential negative effects on health. Lowered endurance and reduced muscular capacity can lead to decreased physical ability and a decreased basal metabolic rate can slow down metabolism and make weight management more difficult.
