Document Summary

For the start they have to overcome momentum; lot of mass that they have to overcome. Stroke rate: with wind more stroke, against wind, less strokes. Lots of anaerobic training but since the race is long, there is a lot of aerobic training as well. The primary factors affecting energy production are total energy demand coupled with rate of demand. Total energy demand + rate of demand = energy production. Oxygen we breathe gets used at the end of the electron transport chain; by measuring oxygen uptake at the mouth, it will tell us what is happening at the end of the electron transport chain. We are relating the oxygen that we use to energy. Oxygen at the end of etc will represent the movement of the etc. Burning carbohydrates give us more energy than burning fat, but fat stores more energy(mass).
