1. Explain how carnosine is -Beta-alanine + l-histidine + ATP > carnosine + AMP +
synthesized within the body. diphosphate
-Via carnosine synthase
2. What is a waxy maize starch and - A very slow digesting starch (lots of amylose).
what effect does it have on blood - Leads to lower glucose and insulin responses
glucose?
3. Based on recent studies, which - Vitamin D
vitamin shows evidence of positively
affecting muscle function?
4. What is needed for - Glycerol + amino acids (alanine and/or glutamine)
gluconeogenesis in humans? Give + lactate/pyruvate.
examples of gluconeogenic - Pyruvate decarboxylase
precursors
5. What effect does long-term - Lowers risk of type II diabetes
coffee consumption have on Type II
Diabetes?
6. What effect does supplementing - Attenuates catabolism and promotes protein
with WPI have on muscle damage? synthesis
, 7. When glycogen stores are - Fat, specifically blood TAG
depleted, what macronutrient
becomes the predominant fuel
source during distance running?
8. How many extra kcals are required - 3500
for accumulation of 1 kg of body fat?
9. What are the effects of pre- - Dehydration > worse thermoregulation.
exercise dehydration on - Problems start as low as 1% of body weight,
thermoregulation and exercise strength, endurance, fine motor skills, mental
performance? performance.
- Cramps and fatigue @ 4%, stroke and big
problems at 6%
10. What are the effects of l-alanyl-l- - Increased time to exhaustion under mild
glutamine supplementation on time- dehydration stress
to-exhaustion and dehydration
stress?
11. What effects can a low- - Less glycogen > significant disadvantage for
carbohydrate diet have on exercise lasting >90m
prolonged physical activity?
12. Approximately how many days of - 10-14 days
heat exposure does it take to fully
acclimate to exercising in the heat?
13. What is HICA and what are the - Led to small increase in muscle mass among
effects of its supplementation for a actively training soccer players
period of 4 weeks?
