12. T/F: The term anaerobic indicates the presence of oxy- false (anaerobic is ab-
gen sence of oxygen)
13. T/F: internal training means using several modes of false (this is known as
training to develop a specific component of fitness cross training)
, 14. T/F: decreased temperature tends to preserve decreas- true
es in muscle length

the body expressed in either body fat percentage of
weight in body fat
17. T/F: communication can occur through the visual, au- True
ditory, or kinesthetic domains
