Answer:

Answer is C. Tetanic contraction might occur which would stop the heart's pumping action.

Explanation:

Tetanic contraction occurs when the muscle fiber doesn't fully relax before it contracts again due to repeated stimuli at short intervals.

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Although direct calorimetry is considered to be the most precise technique for the measurement of metabolic rate, construction of such a chamber that is large enough for doing exercise physiology research (or any research for that matter) is extremely expensive and not at all mobile.

Explanation:

Direct calorimetry measures the heat production of an individual, in calories, when placed in an insulated chamber where the heat is transferred to surrounding water. This is a very accurate method of measuring energy expenditure.

Drag each label to the correct location on the image.
Fittoniya [83]

The correct matches are:

1. Sea level (0 m) - 100%

2. Mid-level elevation (4,500 m) - 57%

3. Peak (8,850 m) - 33%

The level of oxygen in the atmosphere depends a lot on the elevation. The smaller the elevation, the higher the oxygen level, and vice versa, the higher the elevation, the lower the oxygen level. So we have a situation in which the oxygen level is the highest at 0 elevation, or rather at sea level. As we go to higher elevations, let say to around 4,500 m, the oxygen level is significantly dropped, which makes it difficult for breathing. If we go even on higher elevation, like 8,850 m, than the oxygen level will much lower, and a human will need to undergo intense long training and also carry oxygen with him/her in order to survive.
