Solution
The statement that is true about weight training is: "Females, like males, can build large, bulky muscles."
This is because both males and females have muscle tissue that responds to resistance training such as weight lifting. The degree to which muscles grow in size (hypertrophy) can vary between individuals and is influenced by factors such as genetics, diet, and the specifics of their training program.
The other statements are myths or misconceptions. Muscle cannot turn into fat, as they are two different types of tissue. Females can also focus on muscle bulk and definition if they choose to, it's not something they need to avoid. Lastly, weight training does not cause a person to become muscle-bound (losing flexibility or mobility), if done properly with a focus on full range of motion and including flexibility training.

Fill in the blanks with suitable words in the following box. There are TWO EXTRA words.atrophyimmobilizationsarcopeniaresistancehyperthermiainsulinhypertrophywastingMuscle (1) is a condition in which muscle bulk increases due to the growth of muscle fibres. Such growth increases the size of skeletal muscles and can be achieved by muscular training, increased use of muscles, and the use of some hormones such as anabolic steroids (testosterone). Some types of muscle training such as weight bearing or (2) training specifically enhance the growth of muscle fibers. Muscle (3) is a condition of decreased muscle bulk, also referred to as muscle (4). This can occur as a result of many conditions: poor nutrition or starvation, and (5) of muscles for a protracted time. Some chronic diseases and medical conditions can cause reduced muscle mass e.g., cancer, tuberculosis, AIDS, etc. A decrease in muscle mass can also be found as people grow older, and such a condition is called (6).
