However, she faded at the sprint to the finish because she had neglected to train her Type muscle fibers.  As her muscles increasingly began to engage in more anaerobic respiration, her lack of strength in her or fiber type was most apparent.

usan recently began racing her bicycle. Her training consists entirely of long rides at a steady pace. When she entered her first race, she was excited that she was able to keep pace with the rest of the riders. However, during the final sprint to the finish line, the other riders left her in their dust, and she finished in last place. Why was she unable to keep pace during the finishing sprint?Susan’s training of long runs at a steady pace has stimulated growth of her Type muscle fibers.  Additionally, some of her Type II fibers had been converted to Type I fibers.    However, she faded at the sprint to the finish because she had neglected to train her Type muscle fibers.  As her muscles increasingly began to engage in more anaerobic respiration, her lack of strength in her or fiber type was most apparent.As her coach, which of these activities would you recommend to Susan when training for her next race?check all that applyIncrease the length of her training runsunansweredSprinting drillsunansweredCross-country skiingunansweredLifting weightsunansweredJumping drills

Select the correct answer.What theme is common to the two excerpts below? . . . His theory of running until he reached camp and the boys had one flaw in it: he lacked the endurance. Several times he stumbled, and finally he tottered, crumpled up, and fell. When he tried to rise, he failed. He must sit and rest, he decided, and next time he would merely walk and keep on going. As he sat and regained his breath, he noted that he was feeling quite warm and comfortable. He was not shivering, and it even seemed that a warm glow had come to his chest and trunk. And yet, when he touched his nose or cheeks, there was no sensation. Running would not thaw them out. Nor would it thaw out his hands and feet. Then the thought came to him that the frozen portions of his body must be extending. He tried to keep this thought down, to forget it, to think of something else; he was aware of the panicky feeling that it caused, and he was afraid of the panic. But the thought asserted itself, and persisted, until it produced a vision of his body totally frozen.(Jack London, To Build a Fire)Presently the boat also passed to the left of the correspondent with the captain clinging with one hand to the keel. He would have appeared like a man raising himself to look over a board fence, if it were not for the extraordinary gymnastics of the boat. The correspondent marvelled that the captain could still hold to it.They passed on, nearer to shore—the oiler, the cook, the captain—and following them went the water-jar, bouncing gayly over the seas.The correspondent remained in the grip of this strange new enemy—a current. The shore, with its white slope of sand and its green bluff, topped with little silent cottages, was spread like a picture before him. It was very near to him then, but he was impressed as one who in a gallery looks at a scene from Brittany or Algiers.He thought: "I am going to drown? Can it be possible? Can it be possible? Can it be possible?" Perhaps an individual must consider his own death to be the final phenomenon of nature."(Stephen Crane, The Open Boat) A. mysteries of life and death B. finding hope after tragedy C. humanity's helplessness against nature D. finding inner strength E. choosing between security and individualism
