Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Background Paragraph: In exercises such as weight lifting, skeletal muscle contracts against a resisting force (see Figure below ). Using skeletal muscle in this way increases its size and strength. In exercises such as running, the cardiac muscle contracts faster and the heart pumps more blood. Using cardiac muscle in this way increases its strength and efficiency. Continued exercise is necessary to maintain bigger, stronger muscles. If you don’t use a muscle, it will get smaller and weaker—so use it or lose it. 
Story: Two groups of athletes started new training routines this year.  Group A started weight lifting for three months, while Group B, did running exercises. 
Question: Which group's skeletal muscles contract against a resisting force?
Output (English): Group A.
