Ergogenic Aids and exercise

1. Name the banned classes / groups of substances. Explain why some drugs/substances and practices are banned
or restricted
2. Pick one chemical from one of those banned classes and explain why it is banned.
3. Name the restricted classes of substances.
4. Pick one chemical from one of those restricted classes and explain why it is restricted.
Body Fatness, Obesity and exercise
1. Describe the dimorphic patterns of body fat deposition that we might see in adult women and adult men. Indicate
the proportions (%) of these patterns in the adult population. Explain how these fat patterns are linked to
hyperlipidemia.
2. Explain the biochemical processes for fat stored and mobilization inside adipocytes.
3. Complete the following graph, showing the four (4) responses for fat storage with deliberate overfeeding. Label
the curves.

fatness

overfeeding
4. Specify the most important variables which provide part of the explanation for the results shown above. Explain
why these factors account for the variability in fatness when people are overfed.
Asthma
1. What causes EIB? Explain the link between asthma and EIB.
2. Describe a typical EIB attack and a delayed EIB attack.
3. Explain the benefits of an aerobic training program for asthmatics.
4. Explain the effects of warm-up for asthmatics.
Air Pollution:
1. Why are ozone and other related gases so dangerous to exercising humans?
2. What should we advise people related to exercising in high ozone levels?
Cancer
1. Explain the role of exercise testing with cancer patients.
2. Explain the benefits of an aerobic training program for cancer patients and survivors.
3. Explain the benefits of a strength training program for cancer patients and survivors.

Pregnancy and Exercise

1. Explain with physiological examples to support your answer - the comment that, at rest and in submaximal
exercise the effects of pregnancy may dominate the training or fitness effects of exercise in the mother.
2. Concerns have focused on three fetal responses which are observed during acute maternal exercise. Describe
one of those concerns and any major findings from research which focuses on that concern.
3. What are the benefits to the woman of regular aerobic exercise during pregnancy?
4. What are the benefits to the woman of regular resistance training during pregnancy?
Heat / Cold
1. Outline the physiological problems associated with exercise in hot, humid weather.
2. Outline a re-hydration plan for an athlete engaged in prolonged exercise (longer than 1 hour) in hot conditions.
3. Should we include salts/electrolytes in drinks which are consumed during exercise? Explain your answer.
4. List two coping strategies for dealing with heat and explain briefly why/how this method will work.
Altitude
1. Explain the acute (immediate) effects of increased ventilation upon exposure to high altitude.
2. How do these physiological changes affect:
- aerobic endurance performance?
- anaerobic lactic endurance performance?
3. How will the altitude affect these athletes ability to perform?
4. Is arriving two weeks early and living and training at high altitude competition sites beneficial? Explain your
answer.
