Exercise Training and Adaptations

You have been hired as a performance consultant for an elite marathon runner in Denver, CO.

The athlete is interested in non-nutritional, non-pharmacologic procedures that enhance physiologic response to exercise and increase performance and aid in recovery after exercise.

Based on the information in your textbook and your own research substantially address the following:

What are the pros and cons of each of the four procedures discussed in the textbook?

How would you rank the procedures in terms of effectiveness and appropriateness for an elite marathon runner in Denver, CO?

Given the moderately high altitude of Denver, discuss which procedure(s) you would recommend, if any, to the athlete.

Your research and claims must be supported by your course text and a minimum of one additional scholarly source. Use proper APA formatting for in-text citations and references as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Guided Response: Find two classmates who identified different procedures from the one(s) you chose.

Explain how the evidence that your peers have presented either shows strong support for their conclusions or weak support for their conclusions.

Be sure to present counter-evidence or corroborating evidence when possible. You must use at least two scholarly sources to support your explanation.
