Kabar baiknya, latihan soal yang disediakan Quipper Blog, lengkap dengan jawaban beserta pembahasannya, <\/span>lho<\/span><\/em>. Semakin penasaran? Yuk, segera kerjakan soalnya!<\/span><\/p>\n Read the text below.<\/span><\/p>\n In the ultra competitive world of professional sports, victory is measured in fractions of time and distance. The difference in performance between two elite athletes amounts to less than one percent. Consequently, professional athletes take great interest in ergogenic aids, which refer to any technique or substance used to enhance performance. Common legal ergogenic aids include multivitamin supplements and hypoxic training.<\/span><\/p>\n Recently, the ability of brain stimulation to enhance sports performance has become an expanding focus of academic study. In an October 2017 article titled \u201cBilateral extracephalic transcranial direct current stimulation improves endurance performance in healthy individuals,\u201d Angius and co-authors used transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a form of brain stimulation, to improve endurance in 12 healthy, active adults during 10-minute cycling sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n Both before and after tDCS, the researchers assessed neuromuscular performance by measuring time to task failure among participants engaged in cycling sessions. They found that placing the anodes over both motor cortices augments endurance performance. In other words, cyclists who received anodal stimulation biked longer before quitting than did those under the cathodal and sham conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to observing changes in corticospinal excitability in those receiving anodal stimulation, the researchers found that their ratings of perceived exertion were also lower. The researchers suggest \u201cthe increase in endurance performance might be the result of higher excitability of the motor cortex leading to a reduction in perception of effort.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Certain stakeholders have high hopes for tDCS that extend past sports performance and include training adaptations and neuroplasticity. To date, only four other studies have examined the effects of tDCS on measures of endurance. Nevertheless, the results of the current study are encouraging and could help bolster the spread of tDCS among professional athletes.<\/span><\/p>\n Currently, the Halo Sport, a wearable neurostimulation device, which looks like a pair of headphones and leverages tDCS technology, is becoming popular among NFL athletes, MLB at Olympic athletes, and more. The device promises improvements in strength, skill, speed, and endurance.<\/span><\/p>\n Taken from:\u00a0<\/span>http:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n The text above mainly informs readers about\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n Jawaban: A<\/strong><\/p>\n Pembahasan:<\/strong><\/p>\n Soal ini menanyakan topik teks.

Kalimat ini memberikan petunjuk bahwa teks membahas tentang dunia olahraga, khususnya perolehan kemenangan dalam olahraga profesional.<\/span><\/p>\n Paragraf 2 \u2192\u00a0<\/span>Recently, the ability of brain stimulation to enhance sports performance has become an expanding focus of academic study<\/span><\/em>. Terdapat frasa kunci\u00a0<\/span>brain stimulation to enhance sport performance<\/span><\/em>. Hal ini berarti bahwa secara spesifik teks ini akan membahas tentang bagaimana cara meningkatkan performa olahraga melalui stimulasi otak.<\/span><\/p>\n Sebenarnya, dari hanya memerhatikan dua paragraf ini, sudah bisa menjawab pertanyaan pada soal. Teks ini secara keseluruhan membicarakan tentang cara meningkatkan performa atlet melalui stimulasi otak. Adapun paragraf ketiga sampai keenam menjelaskan mengenai teknis\/penelitian tentang stimulasi otak yang dimaksud. Jadi, topik teks ini adalah mengenai\u00a0<\/span>enhancing athletic performance by brain stimulation<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n Read the text below.<\/span><\/p>\n Interdependence is a psychosocial concept that sees closeness as the key to all relationships; it has long been an important concept in family systems, although its application in young adulthood has not been as well studied. But interdependence is increasingly being viewed as an alternative endpoint to maturity. This is an important distinction,\u00a0<\/span>reverberating<\/strong>\u00a0through social science, lifespan psychology, cross-cultural studies and developmental theories. It’s also particularly germane to consider now, at a time when over 35% of 18-34 year olds in America, across all income levels still live with their parents: In Italy, courts have found that even self-supporting adults, like their 30 year old lawyer son who brought the action, have a right to remain under the family roof!<\/span><\/p>\n Interdependence may be a natural outgrowth of the boomers\u2019 parenting style, which stressed relatability, emotional openness, and an attempt at greater authenticity with its kids; how they feel\u2014their happiness\u2014is more important than what they accomplish. Its key dynamic is mutuality, which is the characteristic most associated with well-functioning households where two or more generations of adults lives together, establishes a template for the continued coherence of the family. There’s something in it for everyone; companionship, affection, support, help of all kinds, an\u00a0<\/span>antidote<\/span>\u00a0to loneliness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cJust being there to give or get a hug, especially on a bad day,\u201d one parent reports. “Help with the top half of the sandwich, my own mother,” says another. “I can afford to live on my own, but why should I? Here I’m surrounded by people who love me and care about what happens to me. That’s rare in many lives,” says a 28-year-old daughter, a teacher who lives at home “by choice, not necessity.\u201d Many parents, who report \u201ca comfortable reliance\u201d on their grown kids, report that it\u2019s not as one-sided an arrangement as it is often made out to be. \u201cIt is not take, take, take by any means. If they weren\u2019t contributing, I\u2019d feel differently.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nLatihan Soal 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n
