Dehydration of 3% body mass or greater consistently impairs long-distance aerobic performance.

Consumption of long-chain triacyclglycerols

Heat can be lost through several mechanisms, but the most effective means of heat loss is…

Which of the following substrates contribute the greatest amount to total energy production during low to moderate intensity, prolonged exercise (

Which of the following is true when measuring substrate utilization via indirect calorimetry?

  As the body loses ample fluids (i.e. lack of fluid intake, excessive sweating, etc.) what is the best combination of hormones to aid in fluid retention?

All of the following factors promote improved/upregulated fat oxidation during exercise EXCEPT:

There is a really cool technique for iteratively computing the eigenvector associated with the dominant eigenvalue, which can be used to compute Google’s PageRank vectors.  For our purposes here, all we care about is that we can find a useful vector using an iterative approach as we discussed in class. The recurrence relation to compute a new value from the old is: for some square matrix and nonzero initial guess vector, . Give an appropriate assignment statement to complete the loop in the following code so that vector variable x has the result value after the loop. Recall np.dot(q,r) does vector or matrix multiplication according to the shapes of q and r.  Some partial credit will be given. x = np.array([1,1,1]) # this is x_0for i in range(10):    __________________________________

You are a sports dietitian in Florida working to refuel an outdoor summer team during a 20-minute half-time.  In order to refuel and cool your athletes, you encourage them to consume which of the following nutrients?
