With cardiorespiratory endurance training programme both men and women experiences :

  • A.Gain in Body Mass
  • B.Gain in FFM
  • C.Gain in Body Fat
  • D.None of the above

Answer: B

Both men and women experience a gain in FFM (fat-free mass).

Cardiorespiratory endurance training such as running, cycling or swimming reduces body fat, because it burns large amounts of energy, while fat-free mass is maintained or increases slightly. Exercise physiology texts report this pattern for both sexes: a small fall in total body mass, a fall in fat mass and a small rise in lean mass.

A gain in body mass and a gain in body fat are the opposite of what endurance training produces, so options A and C are wrong, and 'None of the above' is wrong because the FFM change does occur.
