oxygen uptake in untrained individuals
70-80 - CORRECT ANSWER - Lactate threshold begins at what percentage of maximal
oxygen uptake in trained individuals
1:12-1:20 - CORRECT ANSWER - Phosphagen Work to rest period ratios
1:3-1:5 - CORRECT ANSWER - Fast Glycolysis Work to rest period ratios
1:3-1:4 - CORRECT ANSWER - Fast Glycolysis and Oxidative Work to rest period ratios

First class lever: triceps extension - CORRECT ANSWER - A lever for which the muscle
force and resistive force act on opposite sides of the fulcrum
Second class: Standing heel raise - CORRECT ANSWER - A lever for which the muscle
force and resistive force act on the same side of the fulcrum
, Third class: Bicep curl - CORRECT ANSWER - A lever for which the muscle force and
resistive force act on the same side of the fulcrum
Less - CORRECT ANSWER - When the moment arm is shorter there is _____ mechanical
advantage
Strength - CORRECT ANSWER - The capacity to exert force at any given speed
