ANSWERS<\/h3>\n

Question 1:\u00a0c, 40%<\/h3>\n

40% of your body weight, on average, is made up of muscle. This can be higher for trained athletes.<\/p>\n

Question 2: c, Gluteus maximus<\/h3>\n

The gluteus maximus, colloquially known as your butt, is the largest muscle in the human body. After all, it needs to keep you upright, and that\u2019s a tough job.<\/p>\n

Question 3: d, all of these<\/h3>\n

All of these activities can inflame muscles and tendons in the forearm, though the location of this inflammation is slightly different. So-called tennis elbow affects the outside of the arm and elbow, as does archer elbow. Golf elbow generally affects the inside of the forearm and elbow.<\/p>\n

Question 4: a, true<\/h3>\n

Muscles contract more in the cold, making them less flexible and thus more prone to tearing or strain. Cold can also numb pain receptors, so you push through movements that are hurting your muscles. The solution: warm your muscles up before and after a cold-weather workout.<\/p>\n

Question 5: b, false<\/h3>\n

Not only should you not avoid massage, massage can help speed muscle recovery. Massage<\/a> increases blood circulation and white blood cell count, thus boosting the immune system and helping your body repair muscle damage. Sports massage<\/a>\u00a0can be especially effective for targeting injured areas. Just make sure to tell your Zeel Massage Therapist about your injury prior to beginning the massage.<\/p>\n
