Aldosterone functions to increase _____, and Vasopressin functions to increase _____.

Dehydration of 3% body mass or greater consistently impairs long-distance aerobic performance.

Please read the following scenario and answer the questions pertaining to the athlete. Use the following formula to determine hydration status: Hydration status = [(∆ body mass) / baseline body mass]*100 Find the athlete’s pre and post practice weights below: Baseline Body Mass: 104.55kg Post-exercise Body Mass: 101.00kg 1. What was the athlete’s percent change in hydration status from pre- to post-practice [percent_change]? 2. How would you classify this athlete’s hydration status [hydration_status]? 3. This level of hydration change could lead to which of the following [hydration_effects]? 4. Which of the following beverages would you have your athlete drink [rehydration]? (Hint: Take into account hydration change and impact on GI). 5. What volume of the fluid from question #4 should this athlete drink to rehydrate and replenish losses [volume]? (Hint: 1 kg= 2.2 lbs).    

Consumption of long-chain triacyclglycerols

Heat can be lost through several mechanisms, but the most effective means of heat loss is…

Which of the following substrates contribute the greatest amount to total energy production during low to moderate intensity, prolonged exercise (

Which of the following is true when measuring substrate utilization via indirect calorimetry?

All of the following factors promote improved/upregulated fat oxidation during exercise EXCEPT:

  As the body loses ample fluids (i.e. lack of fluid intake, excessive sweating, etc.) what is the best combination of hormones to aid in fluid retention?

There is a really cool technique for iteratively computing the eigenvector associated with the dominant eigenvalue, which can be used to compute Google’s PageRank vectors.  For our purposes here, all we care about is that we can find a useful vector using an iterative approach as we discussed in class. The recurrence relation to compute a new value from the old is: for some square matrix and nonzero initial guess vector, . Give an appropriate assignment statement to complete the loop in the following code so that vector variable x has the result value after the loop. Recall np.dot(q,r) does vector or matrix multiplication according to the shapes of q and r.  Some partial credit will be given. x = np.array([1,1,1]) # this is x_0for i in range(10):    __________________________________
