29
Which of the following is magnesium classified as?
Macromineral
30
What advice would enable a client to breathe properly?

Pyruvate
34
Which subsystem is responsible for providing both frontal plane mobility and stabilization of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex?
Lateral subsystem

What type of muscle action would expend the highest amount of energy at a fixed resistance level over a comparable duration?
39
Which of the following effects may be experienced with overtraining?
High levels of cortisol, which lead to a catabolic environment
40
Catecholamines are responsible for which of the following actions?
Increased lipolysis

42
When glucose is broken down via glycolysis, what molecule is created that could also be oxidized under aerobic conditions?
Pyruvate
43
Which of the following statements would be accurate with regard to muscle force and velocity during an eccentric muscle action?
As the contraction velocity increases the ability to develop force also increases.
44
What is end-diastolic volume?
The amount of blood in the ventricle before contraction
