What approach is recommended for exercise selection with a dynamic assessment score of 1?

1. Only static stretching is recommended

2. Include strength training exclusively

3. Activate and strengthen weak muscles and the core

4. Avoid retesting to prevent discomfort

The correct answer is: Activate and strengthen weak muscles and the core

The recommended approach for exercise selection with a dynamic assessment score of 1 is to activate and strengthen weak muscles and the core. This is because a dynamic assessment score of 1 indicates that there are specific areas of weakness or imbalance that need to be addressed through targeted exercises. Option A, only static stretching, may not address the specific weak areas and may not promote overall strength and stability. Option B, strength training exclusively, may also not address the specific weak areas and may also lead to further imbalances if certain muscle groups are consistently targeted. Option D, avoiding retesting, does not address the issue at hand and the discomfort can be managed by modifying exercises or seeking professional guidance. Therefore, option C is the recommended approach for exercise selection with a dynamic assessment score of 1.
