After strenuous exercise, you may notice that your muscles burn and feel sore the next day. Which statement best explains this phenomenon? (a) Proteins in muscle cells are being digested to provide energy. (b) Carbon dioxide is building up in muscle cells and changing their $\mathrm{pH}$. (c) Spontaneous combustion occurs during strenuous exercise, so avoid it at all costs! (d) ATP is accumulating in muscle cells, causing a burning sensation. (e) Without adequate oxygen, muscle cells are fermenting pyruvate into lactic acid.
Which of the following occurrences would signal possible overtraining in an athlete? Select one: - When the person experiences DOMS two days after an intense workout. - When a person feels tired for two days, but then feels better. - When sweat rate causes a body weight loss of 1-2% post training. - When exercise heart rate increases 10-15 beats over the person's normal exercise heart rate. - When exercise heart rate decreases 10-15 beats below the person's normal exercise heart rate.
