Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Nutrition tracking tools help endurance athletes optimize their macronutrient balance (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) to support energy production, muscle recovery, and overall performance.

Which technology can be used to analyze an athlete's running gait and identify potential inefficiencies?

  1. Motion capture system

  2. Electromyography (EMG)

  3. Heart rate variability (HRV) monitor

  4. GPS tracking device


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Motion capture systems use cameras and sensors to record an athlete's movements and provide detailed analysis of their running gait, helping identify areas for improvement.

How can wearable devices assist endurance athletes in monitoring their sleep quality and recovery?

  1. By tracking sleep duration and patterns

  2. By measuring heart rate variability (HRV)

  3. By providing insights into sleep stages

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Wearable devices can track sleep duration and patterns, measure heart rate variability (HRV), and provide insights into sleep stages, helping endurance athletes optimize their recovery and overall performance.

Which technology allows endurance athletes to train in simulated high-altitude conditions?

  1. Altitude training mask

  2. Hypoxic tent

  3. Altitude simulation chamber

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Altitude simulation chambers create a controlled environment with reduced oxygen levels, allowing endurance athletes to train in simulated high-altitude conditions and improve their oxygen carrying capacity.

How can real-time feedback during workouts help endurance athletes improve their performance?

  1. By providing information on pace, distance, and heart rate

  2. By suggesting adjustments to effort level

  3. By offering guidance on nutrition and hydration

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Real-time feedback during workouts provides endurance athletes with information on pace, distance, heart rate, and other metrics, allowing them to adjust their effort level, nutrition, and hydration strategies to optimize performance.

Which technology is commonly used by endurance athletes to measure their power output during cycling?

  1. Power meter

  2. Heart rate monitor
