The recovery process in the alactacid system (ATP/PC),requires:

• The presence of oxygen to replenish PC stores

• The presence of oxygen to break down lactic acid that has accumulated

• No additional assistance as there is an unlimited supply of CP stored in the muscle

• Between 30minutes to 2 hours for complete recovery

The only source of fuel for the lactic acid systems is:

• Carbohydrates, fates and proteins

• carbohydrates only

• ATP stored in the muscle

• lactic acid

Fat is stored in the body predominantly:

• In muscles and the liver

• As glycogen

• in the stomach

• As triglycerides, free fatty acids and adipose tissue

During endurance performances, lactate levels

• will remain at resting levels because energy is provided by the aerobic system

• will increase above resting levels because even though the aerobic system is dominant, the lactic acid system provides proportion of energy

• will be above the anaerobic threshold for the majority of the event

• will decrease below resting levels due to increased oxygen consumption during the event

To achieve maximum benefit when training the aerobic energy system, the athlete should be working

• at or above the aerobic threshold

• between 65-70% of max heart rate

• at or above the anaerobic threshold

• below the training zone

Which of the following best exemplifies he principle of specificity?

• a sprinter dragging a large rubber types behind them as they ryn

• a tennis player playing squash on days when inclement weather prevents use of the tennis court

• a weight lifter doing 5km runs in preseason training to build up an aerobic base

• a soccer goal keeper practicing shooting with the team's strikers

When applying progressive overload to strength training, which of the following is most likely to bring about the best results in lean muscle size and strength?

• Periodically increasing the oad while attempting to maintain the same repetitions

• Reducing the recovery time between training sessions

• Increasing the number of repetitions while maintaining the same load

• Maintaining the same load and repetitions but increasing the number of sets
