Which is a benefit of increased Muscular capacity?

1. Lower basal metabolic rate

2. Improved joint and bone strength

3. Decreased range of motion

4. Increased risk of cardiorespiratory disease

The correct answer is: Improved joint and bone strength

Increased muscular capacity refers to the ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform physical tasks for extended periods of time without fatigue. This capability can lead to improved joint and bone strength as it allows for increased support and stability of the body. This increased strength can also aid in preventing injuries and maintaining proper posture. The other options, lower basal metabolic rate, decreased range of motion, and increased risk of cardiorespiratory disease, are not benefits of increased muscular capacity. Lower basal metabolic rate can indicate a slowing of the metabolism, which can be detrimental to one's overall health. Decreased range of motion can indicate decreased flexibility and mobility, which can lead to injuries. Increased risk of cardiorespiratory disease is harmful to one's overall health and can be caused by a lack of physical activity and exercise. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it is the only option that aligns with a benefit
