Question 1

What are five functions of water?

Accepted Answer

Water has many important functions, including:
-it is a lubricant that bathes the tissues and cells
-it is a means of transporting nutrients, hormones, and waste products
-it is an important component of many chemical reactions, especially those related to energy production
-it is a structural component of body tissues such as proteins and glycogen
-it is vital in regulating body temperature; without enough water, we can't cool our bodies properly through sweating and could suffer heat illnesses and death.

Question 2

Consuming high glycemic foods immediately after exercising can enhance glycogen storage.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False  True

Question 3

List and describe five different deceptive practices used to market and sell ergogenic aids.

Accepted Answer

1. Taking published research out of context, applying the findings in an unproven manner, or having inappropriate control over study results. Some companies claim that research has been done or is currently being done, but fail to provide specific information.
2. Paying celebrities to endorse products - remember that testimonials can be faked, bought and exaggerated.
3. Stating that the product is patented and that this proves its effectiveness. Patents are granted to indicate differences among products.
4. Advertising through infomercials and mass-media marketing videos. Although the Advertising Standards Canada regulates false claims in advertising, products may be investigated only if they appear to pose significant public danger.
5. Offering mail-order fitness evaluations or anabolic measurements. Most of these evaluations are inappropriate and inaccurate.
