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.

Correct answer: A
The passage states 'Even moderate volumes of in-flight dynamic exercise ... reduced the exercise heart rate response after flight'.
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 done per second" and Power may be defined as product of force and velocity."
