What is phosphatidylserine and what are its purported ergogenic
effects? -ANSWER-PS is a major phospholipid of all cell membranes
i. Synthesized directly on the mitochondrial-associate membrane
ii. Effective liposomal delivery medium for improving the absorption of
GABA.
iii. Improves glucose concentration in the brain, Na, K, ATP, and Ach
from brain
iv. Blunts exercise induced Ach and cortisol in healthy adults.
v. Anti-catabolic, increased mental, increased recovery
What is IGF-1 and where is it produced? -ANSWER-a. Insulin-like growth
Factor 1
b. Secreted by liver
c. Protein synthesis
Know the correlation between high/low fat diet and testosterone -
ANSWER-Resting testosterone concentrations are positively correlated
with fatty acids, monounsaturated FA, and percent of energy from fat.
,Which vitamin is lacking in a Vegan diet? -ANSWER-The active form of
vitamin B12
Know the contractile and cytoskeletal proteins in muscles -ANSWER-
Contractile proteins: Myosin, Actin, Troponin, Tropomyosin
Cytoskeletal: Alpha actinin, Titin, Nebulin.
Name the branched chain amino acids -ANSWER-Leucine, Isoleucine,
Valine
What is the most common side effect of Creatine as reported in
Scientific Literature? -ANSWER-While the only clinically significant side
effect reported in the research literature is that of weight gain, many
anecdotal claims of side effects including dehydration, cramping, kidney
and liver damage, musculoskeletal injury, gastrointestinal distress, and
anterior (leg) compartment syndrome still exist in the media and
popular literature
What is the RDA for protein? in G/kg (g/lb) per day -ANSWER-a.
Sedentary .8 (.4)
b. Rec exerciser 1.0-1.4 (.5-.7)
c. Resistance trained maintenance 1.2-1.4 (.6-.7)
d. Resistance trained gain mass 1.4-1.8 (.7-.9)
,e. Endurance-trained 1.2-1.4 (.6-.7)
f. HIIT 1.2-1.8 (.6-.9)
g. Weight-restricted sports 1.4-2 (.7-1)
What is the effect of frequent feeding (i.e. 6 meals a day) on appetite
and metabolic rate. -ANSWER-a. Increasing meal frequency does not
appear to favorably change body composition in sedentary populations.
b. If protein levels are adequate, increasing meal frequency during
periods of hypoenergetic dieting may preserve lean body mass in
athletic populations.
c. Increased meal frequency appears to have a positive effect on
various blood markers of health, particularly LDL cholesterol, total
cholesterol, and insulin.
d. Increased meal frequency does not appear to significantly enhance
diet induced thermogenesis, total energy expenditure or resting
metabolic rate.
e. Increasing meal frequency appears to help decrease hunger and
improve appetite control.
Know the rate of absorption of glucose and fructose -ANSWER-The
absorption capacity for fructose in monosaccharide form ranges from
, less than 5 g to 50 g and adapts with changes in dietary fructose intake.
Studies show the greatest absorption rate occurs when glucose and
fructose are administered in equal quantities.[24] When fructose is
ingested as part of the disaccharide sucrose, absorption capacity is
much higher because fructose exists in a 1:1 ratio with glucose. It
appears that the GLUT5 transfer rate may be saturated at low levels,
and absorption is increased through joint absorption with glucose.[25]
One proposed mechanism for this phenomenon is a glucose-dependent
cotransport of fructose. In addition, fructose transfer activity increases
with dietary fructose intake. The presence of fructose in the lumen
causes increased mRNA transcription of GLUT5, leading to increased
transport proteins. High-fructose diets[vague] have been shown to
increase abundance of transport proteins within three days of intake
What solution helps to stimulate oral receptors thus increasing
excitability of the corticomotor pathway. -ANSWER-Carbohydrate-
Electrolyte Solution
What is the Female Triad -ANSWER-A syndrome in which eating
disorders, amenorrhea, and decreased bone mineral density are
present
What are the most commonly found electrolytes in the body? -
ANSWER-Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, bicarbonate, chloride, and
phosphates
