    Which has the larger glycogen capacity?

    • Liver

    • Muscles

    Correct Answer
    A. Muscles
    Explanation
    Muscles have a larger glycogen capacity compared to the liver. Glycogen is a form of stored glucose that serves as a readily available source of energy. Muscles require a significant amount of energy during physical activity, so they have a larger glycogen capacity to meet their energy demands. The liver, on the other hand, plays a role in regulating blood glucose levels and storing glycogen for later use by the body. While the liver also has a glycogen capacity, it is typically smaller compared to the muscles.

    If your pace on a treadmill is 8 mph, how fast is that in terms of minutes per mile pace?

    • 7:10 minutes per mile

    • 7:20 minutes per mile

    • 7:30 minutes per mile

    • 7:40 minutes per mile

    Correct Answer
    A. 7:30 minutes per mile
    Explanation
    If your pace on a treadmill is 8 mph, it means you are running 8 miles in one hour. To find the minutes per mile pace, we divide 60 minutes by the number of miles. In this case, 60 divided by 8 equals 7.5 minutes per mile. Since the options only include whole numbers, we round it to the nearest option, which is 7:30 minutes per mile.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Research shows that runners who log more than 50 miles a week can double their risk of illness, especially upper respiratory illness.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is supported by research, which indicates that runners who run more than 50 miles a week are at a higher risk of developing illnesses, particularly upper respiratory illnesses. This suggests that excessive running can have a negative impact on the immune system, making runners more susceptible to getting sick. Therefore, the answer is true.

    What is the best way to replenish potassium when running?

    • Coconut water

    • Banana

    Correct Answer
    A. Coconut water
    Explanation
    Coconut water is considered the best way to replenish potassium when running because it is a natural source of electrolytes, including potassium. Potassium is an essential mineral that helps maintain proper muscle function and hydration levels. Coconut water is also low in calories and has a high water content, making it an ideal choice for rehydration during physical activity. On the other hand, while bananas are also a good source of potassium, coconut water is more effective in replenishing this mineral due to its higher potassium content.

    You should always stretch before a run to prevent injury.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Stretching before a run does not necessarily prevent injury. In fact, recent studies have shown that static stretching before exercise may actually decrease muscle strength and performance. Dynamic warm-up exercises such as jogging or light movements are more effective in preparing the body for physical activity and reducing the risk of injury. Therefore, the statement that you should always stretch before a run to prevent injury is false.
