Document Summary

Study questions: compare the results of the rockport walking test and the 1. 5-mile run test. 1. 5 mile test is more strenuous because intensity is higher: you will raise your hr higher for 1. 5 mile run test, choose an ergogenic aid that is reported to improve aerobic power. It could be one of those mentioned in the study guide or a different one. Explain: no, it is minimally benefiecial, hemoglobin in blood is already almost fully saturated with oxygen. Partial pressure of oxygen in the air would be increased so there may be very minimal benefit: a 25-year-old man has been on an aerobic conditioning program for the past six months. During that time, his maximum oxygen uptake and running performance have been continuously improving. For the next few months, he will be quite busy and he won"t have as much time to train, but he wants to maintain his current aerobic fitness level.
