Context: One of the limiting factors in human physical performance is the amount of oxygen that is absorbed by the muscles from the bloodstream. Consideration: the only way to get oxygen into the bloodstream so that it can be absorbed by the muscles is through the lungs. Conclusion: water would be useless in improving physical performance Boldface is a consideration provide in support of the conclusion of the paragraph “the amount of oxygen in the blood of people who are exercising is already more than the muscle cells can absorb” is another consideration explain why the blood stream can not intake more oxygen. This consideration strengths the conclusion from the same perspective, physical mechanism, which lies within the context of this argument, as the prior consideration. C: “world-class athletes turn in record performances without such water” is a different issue---stamina---not the physical mechanism of body. Even if the oxygen bottle drink were proved helpful of its physical function to human body, the word class aathlete can still win championship without such water. Does such evidence shows that the water in useless to human body? The bottom line is that the stamina issue has nothing to do with the physical mechanism of body, neither does it affect the usefulness of the drink |
