Based on the general theme of conservation, which of the following is most likely to happen if an athlete breaks his arm and must wear a cast and not use that arm for six weeks? Based on the general theme of conservation, which of the following is most likely to happen if an athlete breaks his arm and must wear a cast and not use that arm for six weeks? The muscles in the other arm will get stronger in order to help out. Muscles in the injured arm will get smaller because they are not being used. The muscles in the injured arm will not change—only the bone was broken. The muscles in the injured arm will get stronger to compensate for the injured bone.

The most likely to happen if an athlete breaks his arm and must wear a cast and not use that arm for six weeks'Muscles in the injured arm will get smaller because they are not being used.'

Explanation:

So therefore when an arm is broken it is only the bone that is broken the muscle remains intact but use of the arm within that period is what will determine the increase or decrease of muscle strength.

since by the statement above we have been able to establish the fact that the arm is not being used then we can conclude that strength of the muscle will decrease.

the answer is c. absolute strength measures the greatest force exerted in a single effort, while relative strength measures strength adjusted for body size.
