(a) Strength: Males generally have greater muscle mass and higher levels of testosterone, which can contribute to greater overall strength compared to females. However, this does not mean that all males are stronger than all females. Strength can also vary greatly among individuals and can be influenced by factors such as training and nutrition.

(b) Oxygen transport: Females tend to have a higher percentage of body fat compared to males, which can affect their ability to transport oxygen to their muscles during physical activity. This can result in females having a lower aerobic capacity and potentially impacting their overall endurance.

(c) Body fat: As mentioned above, females typically have a higher percentage of body fat compared to males. This is due to hormonal differences and can also vary based on individual lifestyle and diet choices.

13. Pulse rate is a measure of aerobic fitness because it reflects how efficiently the heart is able to pump oxygen-rich blood to the muscles during physical activity. A lower pulse rate indicates a stronger and more efficient cardiovascular system.

15. Training can have a variety of effects and benefits, depending on the type and intensity of the training. Some potential effects and benefits include increased muscle strength and endurance, improved cardiovascular health, enhanced athletic performance, weight loss, and improved overall physical and mental well-being.

16. The advantages of training for energy to be produced more effectively include increased endurance, improved cardiovascular health, and enhanced athletic performance. However, the disadvantages may include a higher risk of injury if training is not done properly or if the body is pushed too hard, and the potential for overtraining and burnout.

17. Training for muscle development can lead to increased muscle mass, strength, and overall physical appearance. However, the disadvantages may include an increased risk of injury if proper form and technique are not used, and the potential for muscle imbalances if certain muscle groups are overtrained while others are neglected.

18. The two tests of fitness are the cardiovascular endurance test, which measures the body's ability to sustain physical activity for an extended period of time, and the muscular endurance test, which measures the ability of muscles to perform repeated contractions over a period of time.

19. Four tests of strength include the one-repetition maximum test, which measures the maximum amount of weight an individual can lift for one repetition; the grip strength test, which measures the strength of the hand and forearm muscles; the push-up test, which measures upper body strength and endurance; and the plank test, which measures core strength and stability. Other tests of
