100

This is the minimum intensity required to induce changes in VO2Max during a bout of endurance training.

What is >50% VO2Max?

100

This structure is the body's thermostat and regulates body temp.

What is the hypothalamus?

100

Exercise training (should) cause levels of fat free mass to do this.

What is increase?

200

More pyruate can enter the Kreb's Cycle due to this aerobic adaptation.

What is increased mitochondrial density (increased mitochondria)?
200

Body temperature can be regulated through this effector organ that increases/decreases blood flow to the skin.

What are arterioles (vascular smooth muscle)?

200

This method(s) of estimating body composition involves radiation and can assess bone mineral density

What are MRI / DXA?

300
This term defines the increase in capillary density around a muscle fiber. 

What is angiogenesis?

300

This is the number of days Dr. Black would have to exercise in the heat to become acclimatized.

What is 10 days?

300

This method of body composition measures the resistance to the flow of an electrical current.

What is Bioelectrical Impedance?

400
Heart rate lowers with aerobic adaptations due to this mechanism

What is increased parasympathetic input? 

400

SV declines during exercise in the heat, but Cardiac Output remains elevated due to this. 

What is increased HR?

400

Weight follows this general trend as you age.

What is weight generally increases until 50s, then declines? (Increases is probably fine)

500

These three factors are responsible for increases in Stroke Volume (SV) due to chronic aerobic training

What are increased ventricle size, increased filling time (reduced HR), and increased venous return?

500

Changes that occur with acclimatization include earlier sweating, decreased body/skin temp, and these two factors.

What are decreased HR and increased plasma volume?
500

Carrying excess weight has this effect on exercise performance. 

What is increased force/energy demand for a given intensity, and reduced VO2 max relative to body weight?
