    What is it called when your body converts fat into energy?

    • Flexibility

    • Overtraining

    • Ketosis

    • Hypertrophy

    Correct Answer
    A. Ketosis
    Explanation
    Ketosis is the correct answer because it refers to the metabolic process in which the body converts fat into energy. During ketosis, the body produces ketones from stored fat as an alternative fuel source when glucose levels are low. This process commonly occurs during periods of fasting, low-carbohydrate diets, or intense exercise. Ketosis is often associated with weight loss and is a key component of ketogenic diets.

    Correct Answer
    A. Increasing Muscle Fiber
    Explanation
    Hypertrophy refers to the increase in size or volume of muscle fibers. It occurs as a response to resistance training or exercise that places stress on the muscles. When muscles are subjected to this stress, it triggers a series of physiological processes that result in the enlargement of individual muscle fibers. This increase in muscle fiber size leads to an overall increase in muscle mass and strength. Therefore, the correct answer is "Increasing Muscle Fiber."

This is because a standardized physical training session in the Army typically begins with a warm-up to prepare the body for exercise, followed by the main activity or workout, and ends with a cooldown to gradually bring the heart rate and breathing back to normal.

This is because bodyweight exercises, such as push-ups, squats, and planks, allow you to work multiple muscle groups simultaneously and build a solid foundation of strength. These exercises also help improve stability, balance, and coordination. Starting with your own bodyweight is a safe and effective way to gradually increase the intensity of your workouts and progress to more challenging exercises or external weights.
