Question
Chapter 46, Problem 11TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
Smoking has traditionally been considered to reduce the ability of athletes to run without becoming exhausted.
Introduction:
The respiratory tract contains an epithelial layer, which is lined by cilia. Cilia clear the respiratory tract of bacteria and dust particles. Tobacco smoke paralyzes the cilia and interferes with the clearing process of the respiratory tract.

Since humans began playing sports there have probably been people willing to cheat to gain an advantage. One form of cheating utilized by endurance athletes is called blood doping, which relates to our study of cellular respiration. “Blood doping is the misuse of certain techniques and/or substances to increase one’s red blood cell mass, which allows the body to transport more oxygen to muscles and therefore increase stamina and performance.” Definition from https://www.wada-ama.org/en/questions-answers/blood-doping
From PED, to shaving points, bribery to drugging opponents (https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/maradona-backs-branco-s-claim-of-drug-laced-bottle-at-italia-90-1.4091470), there seems to be countless ways for athletes for gain an advantage. My question for the class is…
What is the worst ethical offense that an athlete can commit? Do you know of any examples where this may have happened?
Conflicting Claims About the Effect of Exercise on the Rate of Clothespin Squeezing
Student A claims that a person will be able to squeeze a clothespin more times in a minute if the
person exercises first. Student A suggests that exercising produces a faster pulse rate, which indicates
that the blood is getting to the muscles faster.
Student B claims that a person will be able to squeeze the clothespin more times in a minute if the
person does not exercise first. Student B suggests that exercise takes energy away from the muscles,
and a person who has been resting will have more energy.
Which of the two students do you agree with?
How could you find out for sure which
claim is correct ?
Caffeine is the go-to supplement for many athletes. Caffeine is well known to enhance and prolong exercise performance. Caffeine and coffee can both significantly improve performance for endurance athletes.
Explain two evidences on how or why caffeine is so helpful to athletes.
