A. With a maximal heart rate of 179 and a resting heart rate of 85, calculate a training heart rate equivalent to 60% of heart rate reserve.? B. With a maximal heart rate of 185, calculate a training heart rate at 70% of the max heart rate. Then give a heart rate range that is 5 beats below and above the number you calculated: 5 beat below ___________ and 5 beats above ____________ C. You perform a maximal effort exercise test on an individual. He is 45 years old. The highest heart rate he achieved during the maximal exercise stress test was 181. What is his maximal heart rate? ________________________? D. How do the coronary arteries (CA) receive their blood supply? 1. Blood perfuses from the ventricles to the myocytes. 2. During diastole, blood enters the CA via passive filling. 3. The atria pushes blood to the pulmonary artery and then to the CA. 4. When the ventricles contract, blood is pushed into the CA. When we take a pulse measurement by palpation, which pressure wave are we actually feeling moving through the blood vessel? Diastolic blood pressure wave Systolic blood pressure wave Pulse pressure wave Barometric pulse wave

A randomized, controlled experiment investigated this question using a random sample of 540 adult males as subjects. At the beginning of the study, researchers measured the blood pressure of all the subjects. Each subject was given a month's supply of either Drug A, Drug B, or a placebo, then was assigned to be on either a low-fat diet or a low-salt diet for that month-long period. At the end of the month, the researchers measured the blood pressure of each subject again, and compared the two blood pressure readings. Which of the following is an explanatory variable in this study? Check all that apply. Group of answer choices Blood pressure after the study Type of drug given Type of diet Difference in the two measurements of blood pressure Blood pressure before the study
