Read the passage carefully and answer questions strictly as per the passage
below:
In a space flight emergency, maximal explosive power may be critical for
survival. Antonutto and coworkers measured maximal explosive power (single
maximal contractions with both legs) with a dynamometer after as long as
180 days of flight. The maximal explosive power was reduced by 30% after 1
month and by 45% after 6 months. In the Skylab program, as the duration of
each mission increased from 28 to 56 to 84 days, in-flight exercise was
increased from 30 to 60 to 90 min/day, respectively. Submaximal cycle
exercise tests were performed before flight, every 5 to 6 days during flight and
2 days after flight. When the in-flight exercise responses were maintained,
exercise responses after flight (including decreased cardiac output, stroke
volume, and oxygen pulse, and elevated heart rate and ventilation)
significantly decreased. The decrement after flight did not worsen with
increasing flight duration, which led the investigators to conclude that the in-
flight exercise was useful for shortening the recovery period after flight. The
effects of in-flight dynamic exercise during shuttle missions on improving
exercise responses after flight was evaluated on 30 shuttle crew members who
performed various levels of in-flight exercise. The investigators evaluated
exercise responses after flight by measuring the change in heart rate during a
graded cycle exercise test. Even moderate volumes of in-flight dynamic
exercise (cycle or treadmill exercise performed three times per week for 20
minutes per session) reduced the exercise heart rate response after flight.

wer: 1. (D), (C), (B), (A)
Arranging injuries from head to toe: Contusion on cranium → Humerus

3. In flight exercise
4. In flight passive exercise
Read the passage carefully and answer questions strictly as per the passage
below:
Muscular power is one's ability to produce maximum muscular strength
(force) in the shortest time. In other words, power means one's capacity of
work output per unit of time.
Mathematically,
Power = Force x distance /Time or Work done/Time
or Power =Force x Velocity, because Force x distance =Work done
and Distance/Time =Velocity
In vertical Jumping, power is given by Body weight x Distance / Time
Where distance is equal to jump performance of the subject. In general, power
describes the speed of movement of force along with the direction of
movement. Thus, power tells one's speed of performing work. In sports, we
often come across the term 'explosive power' required in performing certain
instant activities like high jump,shot-put, sprints in athletics, and calisthenics
in individual sportive activities. Such instant power production is relatively
unimportant in some sports activities like marathon running, long distance
running, long distance swimming and pure skill-based events. Keeping in view
the above description, power may be defined in many different ways. For
instance - Power is defined as "work dope per second" and Power may be
defined as product of force and velocity."

wer: 1. In-flight dynamic exercise
The passage notes that “Even moderate volumes of in-flight dynamic exercise
(cycle or treadmill exercise performed three times per week for 20 minutes
per session) reduced the exercise heart rate response after flight.”

46Q.46. What describes the speed of movement of force along with the direction of
movement?
1. Velocity

2. Speed
3. Powet
4. Force

wer: 3. Power

with the direction of movement.”

47Q.47. Instant power production is relatively less important in _____________
1. Long Distance race
2. 100m race
3. 50m swimming race
4. Long jump

wer: 1. Long Distance race
The passage mentions that instant power production is relatively unimportant
in sports like marathon running, long-distance running, and long-distance
swimming.

48Q.48. One's ability to produce maximum muscular strength in shortest time is
called _______________
1. Muscular Force
2. Muscular Power
3. Muscular velocity
4. Muscular speed

wer: 2. Muscular Power
The passage defines muscular power as “one’s ability to produce maximum
muscular strength (force) in the shortest time.”

49Q.49. Power tells one's _________________ of performing work.
1. Speed
2. Time
3. Weight
4. Capacity

wer: 1. Speed
The passage says, “Power tells one’s speed of performing work.”

50Q.50. Which of the following mathematical equation is correct with respect to
the concept of power?
1. Power= Time/Work done
2. Power =Force x Distance
3. Power= Velocity x Work done
4. Power = Force x Velocity

wer 4. Power = Force × Velocity
As per the passage, “Power = Force × Velocity, because Force × Distance =
