The Bank [of Canada] carries out monetary policy by influencing short-term interest rates. It does this by raising and lowering the target for the overnight rate. The overnight rate is the interest rate at which major financial institutions borrow and lend one-day (or "overnight") funds among themselves; the Bank sets a target level for that rate. This target for the overnight rate is often referred to as the Bank's key interest rate or key policy rate. 2, record 1, English, - key%20interest%20rate

En fait, il n’y a pas un mur mais des murs. [...] Le premier est «la panne de glycogène musculaire». Le deuxième est «la panne de glucose sanguin». Le troisième est «le mur de la chaleur». [...] La «panne de glucose sanguin» ou hypoglycémie guette plutôt les coureurs dont la performance est moins bonne que 4 heures environ. Leur consommation de glucose sanguin est en effet très importante. Lorsque la quantité de glucose sanguin est trop basse, le fonctionnement de votre système nerveux est affecté : vous êtes étourdi, vous courez mal et vous devez vous arrêter. Pour éviter la panne de glucose sanguin vous devez prévoir 3 h environ avant la course, un repas contenant une bonne quantité de glucides. Ces glucides seront mis en réserve dans votre foie et ceci vous permettra de maintenir plus facilement votre glycémie. Vous pouvez aussi prendre des boissons sucrées pendant la course, ou prendre des tablettes de glucose. 1, record 4, French, - panne%20de%20glucose%20sanguin

Il arrive que l'activité physique fasse baisser la glycémie(taux de glucose contenu dans le sang) à un point tel qu'on se sente assommé, chancelant, fatigué. C'est le «coup de barre». Il se produit lorsque le taux de sucre sanguin s’abaisse au-dessous du seuil critique(habituellement à moins de 0, 5 g par litre). Le cerveau, qui a un besoin vital de glucose pour fonctionner à plein régime, est «cogné» quand il n’ est pas nourri comme il faut. 4, record 4, French, - panne%20de%20glucose%20sanguin
