Pennate fibers and their short fibers have a high torque output, but very limited range to sustain the torque due to the short fibers.

A 20 year old male came to your lab for a fitness evaluation. He tries to get to the gym to do lift 2-3x/week and usually gets out for a fifteen to twenty minute jog once or twice a week. He used to throw the discus and javelin on his high school track team. At a recent 5k fundraiser he improved his time to 32.5 minutes.

His waist circumference is 90 cm and his hip circumference is 99 cm. Using skinfolds he was 16% body fat and using bioelectrical impedance he was 19.5% body fat. Considering ALL of the relevant data you have available, do you think he is 1) aerobically fit or unfit (select A or B)? 2) of normal weight or overweight? (select C or D), 3) is there any reason to believe that he has elevated health risk? (if yes select E), then check all variables that helped you determine these answers (select from among F to J)
