Which of the following performance tests is a good test of anaerobic, glycolytic power? Wingate test one-repetition maximum test vertical leap test VO2 max test
Wingate Test
Which of the following laboratory tests would provide the LEAST important information about performance potential in a long endurance event (e.g., a marathon)? test to measure exercise economy Wingate test test to measure lactate threshold test to measure maximal oxygen uptake

Both the lactate threshold and the measurement of critical power have been used to predict performance in endurance events. Studies reveal that, from an exercise intensity viewpoint, critical power measurements represent an exercise intensity _____________. 10% below the lactate threshold 30% below the lactate threshold above the lactate threshold equal to the lactate threshold
above the LT
Which of the following changes would account for the greatest potential reduction in aerodynamic drag during a cycling competition? using an aerodynamic bicycle frame wearing Lycra shorts and jersey switching to a flat-disc rear wheel adopting a lower riding position
adopting a lower riding position
