All other variables being equal, describe how a dumbbell would vary in resistance applied to the biceps throughout a range of motion during a biceps curl exercise...
The load would provide the most resistance to the biceps muscles when at the starting point in the range of motion
The load would provide the most resistance to the biceps muscles when the moment length is longest between the fulcrum and the load
The load would provide the most resistance to the biceps muscles when the moment length is longest between the fulcrum and the effort
The resistance of the load equals the force of the biceps during an isometric contraction

Ensure the resistance applied to the inactive muscles remains the same throughout the range of motion
Adjust the load in relation to the force a muscle can produce as it changes length
Make the load heavier where you are weaker, and lighter where you are stronger
Which of the following is true; "In a second class lever the effort is..."

Directly opposite the fulcrum
Why might a free weight 1-repetition maximum not be the most valid form of testing strength?
Because squatting produces maximal discomfort in the quadriceps
Because you have to load and unload the barbell
Because persons can produce maximal force at their maximal velocity
Because not everybody can do a squat
Because the load for their 1-repetition maximum is only the maximal load at their weakest point in the strength curve
