RE: Aerobics and gym papers

hey loopsy. I was going to type up the questions for you that i had in my exam earlier this week but the paper you have above is the exact test I took!!
hope your exams go well--just learn those questions like the back of your hand and you'll do fine. I think the answers are--
1)30-60
2)75%
3)hamstrings
4)close to waist
5) d
6)when client feels hot
7) A
8) cardiovascular problems
9)knees are bent
10)hyperextends the knee
11)shoulder circling
12)quads
13)gentle exercises
14)deep lunges
15)point the toes

18) B

hope they are right. If anyone could correct mistakes it would be brilliant. we work from the Mo Rosser book so I know some of the answers could be different. Took the gym exam aswell and most of the questions from the aerobics exam were repeated on it. Just make sure that you know isometric/isotonic exercises and the sports drinks.
Lots of luck in your exams.

Re the question ...

The anaerobic production of ATP occurs:
a) inside the cell but outside the mitochondria
b) outside the cell
c) in the mitochondria
d) in the liver

My answer would be A because ... glucose + glycogen = pyruvate and 2 X ATP & 2 lactic acid are produced, this happens inside the cell but outside the mitochondria.

The pyruvate then moves to the mitochondria to be joined with fatty acid & O2 (krebs cycle)(Aerobic, oxidative phosphoralation) to form 36 X ATP
