Use your knowledge of the different errors of perception to classify the following example. Example Assume two new customers arrived and the first presses 350 lbs. in the bench press. Then the second customer presses 290 lbs. An employee considered the second customer a weak individual because of the performance of the first, even though the second person is well above average in strength.

For the 5-RM tests and grip strength tests... Compare the strength outputs and classifications for each subject and discuss if these are typical/expected results based on their demographic information. Discuss why there are differences in the strength output between sexes, including physiological rationales. Are these differences observed in both absolute and relative power indices? Discuss what specific populations would use each test (grip strength, 5-RM leg press, 5-RM bench press) performed in this lab and why.

Why might a 1RM prediction differ from an actual 1RM? (Hint: Is there a physiological reason?)

Knowing what you have heard about lifting free weights, what is meant by the statement that "you are only as strong as your weakest angle?" Discuss the proposed causes of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). What type of muscle activity is thought to be the primary cause of DOMS? Jim is a health and wellness director at a health center of a major university. The university's women's gymnastics team has a reputation for being nationally ranked. The team is near the end of the competition season and has not performed well this year. Many of the athletes have been injured, and there have been many "falls" and "near falls" in some of the competitions this season. The women's gymnastics coach is worried about end-of-season competitions and thinks that his athletes may be too heavy, and that is why they are unable to support their body weights. Upon doing a body composition assessment, using a hydrostatic weighing tank, body mass index is calculated for all the athletes (with body weight measurement on land, height measured, and BMI calculated from these 2 values). The average BMI is 19.4, and some of the women are neither too heavy nor too fat for competition. In fact, these women are extremely lean. As some of the women were hydrostatically weighed, they mentioned that they had been restricting their food consumption. Others stated that in addition to their gymnastic workouts, on their own, they are also doing aerobic and weight training workouts. Based on the results of body assessment and what these athletes are telling you, what might you deduce about why performance has regressed with these ladies? In other words, why do you think their performance has declined?
