    Can I Use Submaximal Data to Estimate VO2 Max for a Conditioned Athlete?

    Thank you so much for your help! No, 45 is the US calculation too. According to the ACSM guidelines 35 is poor as well. Her stature isn't actually that small according to real standards. In the volleyball world she is, so I think that is actually my person bias. I will talk to my...

    Can I Use Submaximal Data to Estimate VO2 Max for a Conditioned Athlete?

    Thanks so much for your response! 29.7 was her peak value unfortunately. After plotting the data, she did not have any plateus which lead me to believe that she did not reach VO2 max to begin with I completely agree with you. Thats when I figured that something was off when looking at the...

    Can I Use Submaximal Data to Estimate VO2 Max for a Conditioned Athlete?

    Homework Statement Alright, so I am a graduating senior studying Exercise science and physiology. I just had what we call "Client Testing" and ran my client (who was a collegiate athlete for the last four years and this year was her first year not competing or training) in the Bruce protocol...

    Neurophysiology homework question- nervous system of a fictional sea creature.

    Also, if light was sensed one side, the neuron on that side would fire in bursts (i left that part out, sorry). this would force the tail to contract to one side, relax and go back to neutral, then contract to the same side again, forcing the animal to turn towards the light.

    Neurophysiology homework question- nervous system of a fictional sea creature.

    Thanks so much for pointing that out! Yes you are right, rereading my answer I do need to be a little more thorough. I would wire the animal to have an inhibitory neuron on the main motor neurons. I would arrange it so that the creatures tail would only be able to move in one direction, thus...

    Neurophysiology homework question- nervous system of a fictional sea creature.

    [b]1. Create the nervous system of a simple fictional sea creature which is round with a single tail controlled by two antagonistic muscles. You may only use two light-sensitive neurons, but as many excitatory and/or inhibitory neurons as you wish. Each neuron used must be either entirely...

    Neurophysiology homework question- sensory rewiring

    [b]1. Sensory primary cortices simply receive action potentials and then create a perception (based on the brain area) for person to experience. If a sensory neuron for touch located in the elbow was somehow rewired to a person's primary olfactory cortex, then every time the person's elbow was...
