Question 1. Describe the energy continuum. For each of the following sports or events, determine the percentage contribution from the anaerobic and aerobic systems. (100-m dash, mile run)
Question 2. List the major variables typically measured to describe the anaerobic response to exercise. Where possible, provide an example of an exercise test that can measure the variable.
Question 3. Explain the five physiological reasons for the production of lactate. What determines whether or not lactate accumulates in the blood? How is lactate cleared?
Question 4. Rank the ATP-PC, LA, and O2 systems from highest to lowest in terms of (a) power and (b) capacity. What is the difference between power and capacity?
Question 5. What are the physiological effects of lactate production and lactate accumulation on metabolic energy production?
Question 6. What is the best way to clear lactate quickly during recovery?
Question 7. Compare the positive and negative effects of lactate and lactate accumulation.
