1. miguel is an elite olympic athlete who swims for about six hours each day. what is likely true about his resting heart rate?

a) over 100 bpm
b) higher than most non - athletes
c) same as target rate
d) between 40 - 60 bpm
standard: pegpe.3.c dok 2

Explanation:

1. A tendon is a bundle of fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone. Biomechanics is the study of movement, muscle is a soft tissue that can contract, and physiology is the study of how the body functions.
2. Static stretches help relax muscles and reduce lactic acid build - up after exercise. Dynamic stretches are for warming up, isostatic stretches are less common in this context, and taking a nap is not the best way to dissipate lactic acid.
3. Elite athletes often have lower resting heart rates due to their high level of cardiovascular fitness. A resting heart rate between 40 - 60 bpm is common for well - trained athletes. Over 100 bpm is high (tachycardia), it's not higher than non - athletes (athletes usually have lower), and it's not the same as target rate (target rate is for exercise).

Answer:

1. a. tendon
2. d. mainly static stretches
3. d. Between 40 - 60 bpm
