b. 30 seconds
c. 60 seconds
d. 360 seconds

ANS: C

7. Endurance training is associated with an increase in

b. The number of red blood cells
c. The breakdown of phosphocreatine
d. The number of fast-twitch fibers

ANS: A

8. An increase in the 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) concentration in red blood cells

is not usually seen in
a. Anemia

b. Age
c. Body weight
d. Stroke volume

ANS: A

10. In normal individuals during exercise, ventilation

a. Increases because the carotid bodies response to the decrease in PO2
b. Is normally the limiting factor in maximal exercise
c. Can be increased at maximum exercise with endurance training
d. Increases during exercise because the PaCO2 increases in response to the increase
in work

ANS: C
