6.False- Women do not have the genetic potential to develop large muscle because they do not have enough of the hormone testosterone.

7.False- Muscle and fat are two different types of tissue. Strength training helps to maintain or increase muscle mass which increases your metabolism, therefore decreasing fat deposits. Discontinuing strength training slows down the process and energy demands decrease. If the athlete continues to eat the same amount of food while de-training, the body will deposit the unneeded energy as fat.

8.False- Resistance training is not effective in training this variable. Resistance training does not optimally effect changes in aerobic metabolism and aerobic performance.
