9 Questions
As the race begins, what energy system would Clara use primarily?
ATP-PC & anaerobic glycolytic systems
The initial 2-4 minute period of exercise has been referred to as the:
oxygen deficit period
While warming up, Clara’s minute ventilation increases from 10 L/min to 40 L/min, based on the normal gas exchange response to exercise you would predict that:
Alveolar CO2 must increase
At mile 16, what would be used primarily for energy assuming that Clara is in steady state?
muscle glycogen and free fatty acids
During the Boston marathon, at what point would Clara primarily rely on muscle glycogen and free fatty acids for energy assuming she is in steady state?
Mile 16
What is the primary energy system that Clara would use at the beginning of the race?
ATP-PC & anaerobic glycolytic systems
During the initial 2-4 minute period of exercise, what is this period commonly referred to as?
Oxygen deficit period
As Clara warms up, her minute ventilation increases. Based on the normal gas exchange response to exercise, what would you predict about the alveolar O2?
Alveolar O2 must decrease
For an individual to run a 26.1 mile marathon, which energy systems must the body adapt to the stress?
All of the above
Test your knowledge of exercise physiology with this comprehensive final sample question. Explore the various ways the body adapts to the stress of running a marathon, using Clara Grandt's incredible achievement as a real-life example. Are you ready to tackle the physiological aspects of long-distance running?
