A classmate says the burn and soreness the day after a hard workout come from lactic acid trapped in the muscle. Explain why this is incorrect.
What is lactic acid is produced when ATP demand outpaces aerobic oxygen delivery, and it can serve as fuel.

Give an example of a Metabolic disease and explain what this disease is
What is
Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1 and Type 2): A failure in insulin production or glucose regulation that causes high blood sugar.
Metabolic Syndrome: A few risk factors that include high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess abdominal fat, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels that raises the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Obesity: Excess body fat accumulation that impairs normal metabolic and endocrine signaling.

Strength and power athletes require the higher end of the protein range (1.6-2.0g/kg) to maximize muscle remodeling and strength gains. How much would a 160lb person need to eat in one day to get at least 130g of protein per day?
What is 1.8(g/kg) of protein per kilogram of body weight.

A 45-year-old woman completes a graded exercise test on a treadmill. During the test, the ECG shows abnormal electrical activity as intensity increases, her heart rate climbs rapidly, and she reports a high rating of perceived exertion at a low stage.
Why was a graded exercise test chosen along with an ECG for this patient?
What is a GXT starts light and increases in intensity in stages. It measures cardiovascular and pulmonary responses under increasing demand to see whether they stay within normal limits. ECG records the electrical activity of the heart, which can reveal abnormal rhythms or signs of cardiovascular disease that vital signs alone might not show.
