Sports Strength, Power And Endurance

There are 2 parts to the question paper and each part contains 2 questions. You need to answer one question from part 1 and one question from part 2.

Questions

Part 1
Q1. Critically evaluate whether inspiratory muscle training has an energetic effect on exercise performance. Your answer should relate to the potential mechanisms by which performance may improve.
Q2. Critically evaluate whether development of an individual, critical level of peripheral muscle fatigue limits endurance.

Part 2
Q3. With respect to mechanical loading-induced skeletal muscle growth critically evaluate whether phosphatidic acid is anabolic.
Q4. Critically evaluate whether skeletal muscle can exhibit training-induced gains in endurance and hypertrophy over the same period of time.

Each answer should be word-processed and be a maximum of 3 ± 0.5 pages in length. Use 1.5 line spacing and calibri font size 11. The page limit does not include graphs, pictures or schematics and students are encouraged to illustrate answers where possible.
