Title: A long-distance runner is about to enter a 10-kilometer race.
Post by: cqb on May 1, 2013
A long-distance runner is about to enter a 10-kilometer race. Prior to the race, he spends several minutes warming up. After the race, he is so out of breath that he collapses just after crossing the finish line. Explain why it is important to warm up before starting the race. Why is the runner out of breath after the race? What effect would the lack of oxygen (due to the shortness of breath) have on ATP production? What was happening inside his body while he was attempting to catch his breath?
