⩥ the primary ergogenic nutrients in most ED and ES appear to be
carbohydrate and/or caffeine. True or False. Answer: true. caffeine is the
most common ingredient utilized in energy drinks.
⩥ the ergogenic value of caffeine on mental and physical performance
has been well established but the potential additive benefits of other
nutrients contained in ED and ES remains to be determined. True or
False. Answer: true
⩥ consuming ED 10-60 minutes before exercise can improve mental
focus, alertness, anaerobic performance, and/or endurance performance.
True or false. Answer: false not anaerobic performance. only aerobic
endurance
⩥ what effect does long-term coffee consumption have on type 2
diabetes?. Answer: results suggest that moderate consumption of both
caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee may lower risk of type 2 diabetes in
,younger and middle-aged women. coffee constituents other than caffeine
may affect the development of type 2 diabetes.
⩥ when glycogen stores are depleted, what macronutrient becomes the
predominant fuel source during distance running?. Answer: Fat
(oxidation)
⩥ how many extra kcal are required for accumulation of 1 kg of body
fat?. Answer: approximately 7000
⩥ what are the effects of pre-exercise dehydration on thermoregulation
and performance. Answer: decreased thermoregulation and performance
⩥ what effects can a low-carbohydrate diet have on prolonged physical
activity.. Answer: decreased glycogen synthesis, decreased performance,
overreaching/overtraining.
- increase usage of fat oxidation
⩥ approximately how many days of heat exposure does it take to fully
acclimate to exercising in the heat?. Answer: complete acclimation takes
up to 14 days
⩥ what is a Bod-Pod. Answer: a body composition recording device that
uses air displacement plethysmography
, - DXA is most accurate
⩥ compare fat and carbohydrate oxidation during exercise. under what
conditions does one fuel source predominate over the other. Answer: a.
fat oxidation primarily occurs at low intensity long duration exercise
b. carbohydrates are oxidized preferentially during higher intensity
exercise
⩥ what effect does betaine supplementation have on exercise
performance?. Answer: a. betaine supplementation improves muscular
endurance in active college age males
b. has been shown to increase power, force, and maintenance *****
c. loading phase (4 weeks) of beta-alanine supplementation is essential
for increasing carnosine levels. thus carnosine plays a significant roe in
buffering exercise induced acidosis
⩥ chronic heavy resistance training causes what adaptations in skeletal
muscle. Answer: a. increase in muscle strength and size (hypertrophy of
cross-sectional area of the muscle fibers)
b. greater increase in type 2 muscle fibers
c. shift in fiber type 2b to 2a
⩥ regular aerobic training causes what adaptation in skeletal muscle.
Answer: 1. increased oxidative capacity, increased number and size of
mitochondria
