what is protein's role as a fuel source during exercise - ANSWERS-last resort
protein only contributes about 5-10% of body energy
You cannot store protein the way you do carbohydrates, so it is important to eat
it every day to ensure that amino acids are available to replenish the depleted
proteins.
true or false. athletes engaged in intense training need to ingest about two
times the RDA of protein in their diet (1.5 to 2.0 g/kg/d) in order to maintain
protein balance. - ANSWERS-true
understand the benefits in the timing for essential amino acid ingestion as it
relates to exercise - ANSWERS-ingestion of 6-20 grams of essential amino acids
,and 30-40 grams of high glycemic CHO within 3 hours after an exercise bout and
immediately before exercise has been shown to significantly stimulate muscle
PRO synthesis
what are the effects of high fructose consumption? - ANSWERS-increased caloric
intake and body weight
can cause GI distress and diarrhea
what are the differences in thermoregulation between men and women? -
ANSWERS-if body composition is the same, there is no significant difference
what is GPLC? what effects does it seem to have on exercise metabolism and
performance? - ANSWERS-a. glycine propionyl-I-carnitine
b. can enhance peak power production in resistance trained males with
significantly less LAC accumulation
what is the effect of CHO consumption before vs. during exercise - ANSWERS-
improves performance
what is IGF-1 and where is it produced? - ANSWERS-a. insulin-like growth factor
1
b. secreted by liver
c. protein synthesis
, what effect does long-term coffee consumption have on type 2 diabetes? -
ANSWERS-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? - ANSWERS-Fat (oxidation)
how many extra kcal are required for accumulation of 1 kg of body fat? -
ANSWERS-approximately 7000
what are the effects of pre-exercise dehydration on thermoregulation and
performance - ANSWERS-decreased thermoregulation and performance
what effects can a low-carbohydrate diet have on prolonged physical activity. -
ANSWERS-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? - ANSWERS-complete acclimation takes up to 14 days
what is a Bod-Pod - ANSWERS-a body composition recording device that uses air
displacement plethysmography
