Ergogenic Aids ACTUAL UPDATED
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
ergogenic aid - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅A technique or substance used for the purpose of
enhancing performance.
Amino Acids (Arginine, Ornithine, Lysine) - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅-increase muscle
mass and degrade body fat by increasing growth hormone and insulin production
-excess consumption prevents absorption of other amino acids
out of Arginine, Ornithine, and Lysine, which is not found in the body? - CORRECT
ANSWERS✅✅ornithine
bee pollen - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅-energy and recovery
-some many be allergic, there is no scientific data
blood doping - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅inject extra red blood cells before competition to
improve performance
-athlete first donates blood
-centrifuge
-red blood cells forced to bottom
-liquid part is drawn from blood and injected
High altitude can help.... - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Gain red blood cells
boron - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅-improves muscle mass, decreases body fat composition,
and enhances power and strength bu increasing testosterone
-if you are not boron deficient, it does not increase testosterone
, branched chain amino acids - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅-the essential amino acids leucine,
isoleucine, and valine, which are present in large amounts in skeletal muscle tissue
-serve as energy fuel
-branched chains allow enzymes to attach
-reduce muscle breakdown
-stimulate protein synthesis
-block tryptophan from entering brain cells, thus reducing serotonin and the perception of
effort
-excess amounts prevents absorption of other amino acids
____ enters the blood when the muscles experience damage. when these levels remain
elevated in the blood it causes DOMS - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅creatine kinase
taking a preworkout supplement containing ____, ____, and ____, decreases the amount of
creatine kinase in the blood after a workout - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅CHO, protein,
BCAA
caffeine - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅-increases fatty acid metabolism and spares muscle
glycogen
-overconsumption leads to anxiety and heart palpations
carnatine - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅-Brings long fatty acid chains (acyl- CoA) through
the mitochondrial membranes into the inner mitochondrial matrix for Beta oxidation.
-no studies show that it increases power and strength
-large doses cause diarrhea
-we make enough on our own
acyl CoA - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅fatty acids that were brought into the mitochondria
