True/False: Visceral fat located around the organs such as the liver, intestines and other abdominal organs poses a lesser risk of disease than subcutaneous fat

Immediate benefits of exercise include

The ability for a muscle to exert submaximal force repeatedly over time is known as

muscular endurance.
