Question Answered step-by-step You are a junior sports physiologist, working as part of a team in… You are a junior sports physiologist, working as part of a team in a laboratory that provides sports science support to athletes. A rower has come to the lab to speak to the head of sports physiology. In general, the athlete wants to know more about what happens to his body when he is competing as he struggles in the final stages of race. By understanding a little more about the physiological responses, he is hoping this will help him develop his training. The head physiologist interviews him to find out more and, afterwards, distributes questions to the rest of the team.Specifically, the head physiologist asks you the following questions, which you need to answer as scientifically as possible. You should use references (books and journal articles) to support your answers: to help with the question a brief synopsis of event is provided.  1)The athlete will begin to breathe more ‘heavily’ during the race, what are the physiological process that explain this and why do they occur   2)What processes will help to maintain acid-base balance during the race? Explain your answer   3)At the end of the race what changes have occurred to your blood chemistry since the start of the race? Think about glucose levels, pH, lactate levels, temperature etc.?  Biology Science Physiology PHYS BC16 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
