KROK 1 2019 – Question 31 · KROK (Medicine) · Physiology
I.M. Siechenov has proven that a tired limb restores its working capacity faster if during its period of rest another limb works. It became a basis for the concept of:
- A. Pessimum
- B. Optimum
- C. Active rest
- D. Fatigue
- E. Parabiosis
Hint
Consider what this observation says about the best way to organise the recovery period of a tired limb: doing nothing, or letting a different part of the body work.
