SPRINTER vs. MARATHONER

Activity 2: You are an exercise physiologist. You want to test skeletal muscle properties in Elaine Thompson (sprinter) and Jemima Sumgong (marathoner). You run an experiment where you maximally stimulate the motor neurons that innervate the gastrocnemius muscle of each athlete. You repeatedly stimulate the motor neurons at intervals of 20 ms for 1 min.a) Predict the relative magnitude and duration of muscle tension that will result from this experiment in your two subjects (Thompson and Sumgong
