Which of the following is a rationale for using variable-resistance training methods?
To accommodate the changing mechanical advantages associated with constant-loaded exercises

With regard to core training, when is instability exercise best applied?
With untrained athletes who are relatively weak
In trained athletes who are rehabilitating from an injury
With trained athletes who are trying to optimize strength and power
With untrained athletes who are new to the exercise
