True or False? The capacity of the short-term energy system for a given muscle depends on its glycogen content:
9.
True or False? For adolescents and adults, power scores based on body mass (kg) are higher for females than for age-matched males.
10.
True or False? When increasing the intensity of an ongoing exercise procedure fails to produce further increases in VO2, this suggests that VO2 max has been achieved.

True or False? Genetic factors have almost no impact on a person's VO2 max.
12.
True or False? In order to be a suitable and valid test, a performance test must be similar to the activity or sport for which energy capacity is evaluated.
