31
Q

is lactate at a steady state during the heavy exercise intensity domain ?

32
Q

is lactate at a steady state during the severe exercise intensity domain ?

33
Q

TRUE OR FALSE ?

all metabolic pathways work together and simultaneously ?

34
Q

TRUE OR FALSE ?

the two metabolic boundaries create three exercise intensity domains ?

35
Q

TRUE OR FALSE ?

exercise in the different intensity domains require different contributions of the metabolic pathways to provide the needed energy

36
Q

which of the three exercise intensity domains is defined as the following :

  • no metabolic & physiological steady state
  • oxidative & anerobic
  • progressively worsening efficiency
  • muscle & blood lactate accumulation
  • accumulating acidoses
37
Q

which of the three exercise intensity domains is defined as the following :

  • rapid metabolic & physiological steady state
  • all oxidative
  • high efficiency
  • no muscle & blood lactate change
  • no acidosis
38
Q

which of the three exercise intensity domains is defined as the following :

  • delayed metabolic & physiological steady state
  • all oxidative (anaerobic until steady state achieved)
  • reduced efficiency
  • elevated but stable muscle & blood lactate
  • slight, stable acidosis
