Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 4TAHL
Why do you think a person is able to perform anaerobic exercise (such as lifting and holding a heavy weight) only briefly but can sustain aerobic exercise (such as walking or swimming) for long periods? (Hint: Muscles have limited energy stores.)

What are the differences in parameters for aerobic exercise versus anaerobic exercise? (use the FITT principle)
Khalil Mack is a professional football player who graduated from UB (and took biopsychology while an undergrad here). Because he’s a professional athlete, weighs about 250 lbs, and is much stronger than I will ever be, the chance of me tackling him all by myself is virtually zero. But, imagine the following: I grab Mack’s left foot and hold on for dear life, and, at the exact same time¸ your TA, Zoe, grabs his right foot, another TA, Anna, grabs is left foot, while your other TA, Susan, jumps on his back. We might (if we’re lucky and the wind blows just right) have a chance of stopping him. The four of us grabbing Mack, all at the exact same time illustrates which principle of synaptic communication? (Thankfully Mack is a defense end, so we’ll never have to tackle him.)
a. reflex arc
b. inhibitory post synaptic potentials
c. spatial summation
d. temporal summation

- Since humans began playing sports there have probably been people willing to cheat to gain an advantage. One form of cheating utilized by endurance athletes is called blood doping, which relates to our study of cellular respiration. “Blood doping is the misuse of certain techniques and/or substances to increase one’s red blood cell mass, which allows the body to transport more oxygen to muscles and therefore increase stamina and performance.” Definition from https://www.wada-ama.org/en/questions-answers/blood-doping From PED, to shaving points, bribery to drugging opponents (https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/maradona-backs-branco-s-claim-of-drug-laced-bottle-at-italia-90-1.4091470), there seems to be countless ways for athletes for gain an advantage. My question for the class is… What is the worst ethical offense that an athlete can commit? Do you know of any examples where this may have happened?arrow_forwardThe human body has mainly two types of muscle fibres: slow-twitch and fast-twitch. The { slow or fast} twitch contract slowly and resist fatigue and produce most of their energy through { aerobic or anaerobis} rispiration. These muscle fibres are best used for activities like { weight lifting and playing tennis or biking and jogging} The { slow or fast} twitch are adapted for the rapid regeneration of power. They can best be used in activities such as { weight lifting and playing tennis or biking and jogging}. They are rich in glycogen and depend on { aerobic or anaerobis} rispiration. to produce energy. This leaves them vulnerable to the accumulation of lactate and they fatigue quickly. which one are those? the answersarrow_forwardRigor mortis is usually complete within 1 to 2 days after death (depending onenvironmental variables).
