Question

pharmacological aids | side effects of HGH

Answer 1

Abnormal bone and muscle development Enlargement of vital organs Increased risk of cancers and diabetes

Answer 2

An illegal method to increase RBC count Blood is removed from the body 4-6 weeks before the event. The body compensates by replenishing red blood cells (haemoglobin). Prior to the event, the previously removed blood is re-infused into the body increasing the haemoglobin available during exercise.

Answer 3

Athletes live at sea level but train in hypoxic conditions (low partial pressure of oxygen) Session includes alternate intervals of several minutes breathing hypoxic (low oxygen air) & normoxic or hyperoxic (high oxygen air). IHT methods range from 4-8 weeks of high intensity work of 1-3 minutes Sessions take 15-45 minutes. Rest periods are 1-40 minutes

Answer 4

One study found doping led to a 5-13% increase in Vo2 max, in those who infused 0.9-1.8 litres of blood higher red blood cell count means that endurance athletes can work harder for longer Hard to detect

Answer 5

Increased blood viscosity Decreased cardiac output Risk of blood clots and heart failure Risk of infection

Answer 6

Benefits lost quickly when IHT stopped Disrupts normal training Dehydration

Answer 7

Before performance, cooling for 10-30 minutes can have benefits in hot environments. Reduce thermal strain and CV drift Muscular strain is reduced. Intensity and speed can be maintained.

Answer 8

``` Reduce core temp Reduce sweating and dehydration Reduce pain and bruising Speed recover Prevent DOMS ```

Answer 9

metabolism, CV responses and inaccurate perceived exertion can detriment performance. Ice burn Mask pain/ injury Risky for hypertension patients Not very comfortable

Answer 10

Alkaline which acts as a buffer to neutralize the rise in acidity in the bloodstream

Answer 11

``` 0.3g / kg, 1 hour before competition will increase the body’s tolerance to; lactic acid buffering hydrogen ions drawing acid out of the muscle cell neutralizing the bloodstream ```

Answer 12

Can result in stomach aches, nausea and tastes horrible

Answer 13

Inorganic compounds found in root vegetables Commonly taken through beetroot juice Endurance

Answer 14

Stimulates vasodilation to increase blood flow. Reduces resting blood pressure, reduces VO2 consumption during sub-maximal exercise. Enhances muscle recovery.

Answer 15

The center of the goniometer is positioned at the axis of rotation of a joint The arms of the goniometer are aligned with the long axis of the bones. The measurement is the angle in degrees as read off the goniometer.

Answer 16

-This test involves sitting on the floor with legs stretched out straight ahead -Soles of the feet are placed flat against the box Both knees should be locked and pressed flat to the floor -With the palms facing downwards, and the hands on top of each other or side by side, the subject reaches forward along the measuring line as far as possible. -Ensure that the hands remain at the same level After some practice reaches, the subject reaches out and holds that position for one-two seconds

Answer 17

Common test of flexibility Is an easy and quick test to perform Lots of published data to use for comparison Equipment is cheap

Answer 18

It is sometimes difficult to position and maintain the arms of the goniometer along the bones of the segments throughout the measurement. The axis of rotation is not always clear, especially for complex joints.

Answer 19

Common test of flexibility Is an easy and quick test to perform Lots of published data to use for comparison

Answer 20

Variations in arm, leg and trunk length can make comparisons between individuals difficult Only relevant to lower back and hamstrings
