Study Notes
Gastrocnemius Muscle Length and Walking Distance
- The length of the gastrocnemius muscle changes during walking.
- Two different cases (A and B) are illustrated in the graph, showing different patterns of muscle length changes.
- Case A shows more significant changes in gastrocnemius muscle length compared to Case B.
- The distance covered by the person is related to the changes in gastrocnemius muscle length.
- The individual walking with larger changes in gastrocnemius muscle length (Case A) is expected to cover a greater distance.
Lactic Acid Concentration and Glycogen Consumption
- Lactic acid concentration in muscles is an indicator of glycogen consumption.
- The graph shows lactic acid concentration in the muscles of four individuals.
- The individual with the lowest lactic acid concentration consumes the least amount of glycogen.
- The graph is needed to identify the individual with the lowest lactic acid concentration and, therefore, the least glycogen consumption.

Description
This quiz explores the relationship between gastrocnemius muscle length changes during walking and lactic acid concentration as an indicator of glycogen consumption. Analyze different cases of muscle length variations and their impact on walking distances. Additionally, compare lactic acid levels among individuals to assess glycogen utilization.
