How long can the ATP energy produced during glycolysis allow an athlete to engage in high-level performance?

• 15-20 minutes

• 30-60 minutes

• 1-3 minutes

• 5-10 minutes

Under what conditions is pyruvate the beginning of the aerobic system?

• Low-altitude conditions

• Aerobic conditions

• Intense exercise

• High-altitude conditions

How many separate biochemical reactions are involved in glycolysis?

• 5

• 14

• 8

What is the secondary name given to glycolysis?

• Anaerobic Lactic System

• Aerobic Lactic System

• Aerobic System

• ATP-PC System

What is the chemical equation that represents glycolysis?

• Glucose + ATP -> ADP + Pyruvate

• Glucose + Oxygen -> ATP + CO2

• Glucose -> Pyruvate + Lactic Acid

• Glucose + ADP + Pi -> ATP + Pyruvate

What is the effect of the buildup of lactic acid in the muscles?

• Has no effect on muscle contraction

• Causes muscle relaxation

• Decreases muscle contraction ability

• Increases muscle contraction ability

What is the recommended exercise recovery method for activities involving the production of lactate?

• Light aerobic activity combined with rest intervals

• High-intensity interval training

• Complete rest without any movement

• Continuous heavy weightlifting

What is the effect of lactic acid removal on exercise recovery?

• No effect on recovery time

• Shortens recovery time

• Lengthens recovery time

• Increases muscle fatigue

What is the primary function of glycolysis?

• To break down lactic acid

• To increase oxygen supply to the muscles

• To provide usable energy in the form of ATP

• To produce glucose
