Physiological Capability Quiz

Do we (human beings) have the physiological capability to sustain 0.7 moles ATP/min levels of physical activity?

• Yes, human beings can sustain this level of activity.

• No, human beings cannot sustain this level of activity.

• It depends on the individual's fitness level.

• Only under specific conditions.

But what do we ABSOLUTELY need to have going for us in order to meet that specific energy demand?

• A reliable energy source

• Advanced technology

• Government support

• Public awareness

And do we have access to Aerobic Energy pathways Immediately?

• Yes, immediately upon starting exercise.

• No, it takes a few minutes to activate.

• Only after anaerobic pathways are exhausted.

• It depends on the intensity of the exercise.

What is VO₂?

• A measure of the volume of oxygen consumed

• A type of vitamin

• A chemical element

• A unit of temperature

What happens to VO₂ with exercise?

• VO₂ decreases

• VO₂ remains the same

• VO₂ increases

• VO₂ fluctuates

What is the definition of Steady State in the context of oxygen consumption during exercise?

• Steady State - a period where aerobic ATP supply meets ATP demand

• Steady State - a period where oxygen consumption exceeds ATP demand

• Steady State - a period where anaerobic ATP supply meets ATP demand

• Steady State - a period where ATP demand is lower than oxygen supply

What do we need to do and what happens during this EPOC period?

• Understand the requirements and observe the changes

• Ignore the period and continue as usual

• Focus on unrelated tasks

• Wait for further instructions

What is the conversion of lactate to glucose in the liver called?

• Glycolysis

• Gluconeogenesis

• Cori cycle

• Krebs cycle

Why is EPOC longer after higher intensity exercise?

• Due to increased oxygen consumption

• Because of lower energy expenditure

• As a result of decreased heart rate

• Due to reduced muscle activity
