1 Flashcards
glycogen reserves last for how long
1,000 calories, 10 miles
in long duration exercise is it better to eat before
yes, fuel reserves can get depleted
difference between liquid and solid meals before exercise
no difference
does eating before exercise make a difference
no
research shows mixed diet of 50% carbs and protein lasts for
2 hrs
high carb diet lasts how long
3 hrs, best for endurance
for every gram of glycogen how many grams of water do you store
3
when is the best time to resynthesize after exercising
right after. high glyximic index foods, 50+ g carbs within an hour
glycemic index
provides a measure of how quickly blood sugar levels (i.e. levels of glucose in the blood) rise after eating a particular type of food. The effects that different foods have on blood sugar levels vary considerably, glucose sugar, white flour, potatoes and rice (low is milk, legumes, fruits)
recommended amount of protein
.8 gram per kilo
atkins
high fat and protein diet, low in carbs,
ergogenic
improves performance, could be OTC drugs,food, technique
ergolytic
something that inhibits or deters performance
anabolic drugs
build up tissue, anabolic agents-mimic testosterone-first dianabal (1950s) late
wada- world anti doping association. 0 leagues being tested by the. You shouldn’t test your own people
problems rlated to cardiovascular system and liver
steroids, HGH, beta agonists, testosterone precursors
HGH human growth hormone
anabolic agent, mimics hgh in body,baseball
• increases fat mobilization and burning
• slows glucose and amino acid breakdown
• pituitary hormone-causes growth of bones/cartilage, have from birth…?
• very minimal on growth of muscles compared to steroids
• problems-acromegaly-excessive amounts of HGH as an adult
•
classic loading
eliminate exhausting exercise, and fat protein diet.load up on carbs
how many calories to gain pound of muscle
2500
beta 2 agonists
(anabolic agent) used for the treatment of pulmonary disorders. dilates bronchia passageways, large amount has anabolic effect
amphetamines
increase threshold, increases probability of injury
mimic epinephrine (adrenilin)
• May decrease perceptions of pain or fatigue
• No proven ergogenic benefits
EPO
erythopotein, synthesized in the 80s. causes bone marrow to increase red blood cell (increases aroebic ability and oxygen
caffeine
- Most abused drug in the world
- About 400mg helps open ended cycling to mobilize free fatty acid from the blank tissue-increase amount of energy available
- Coffee seems to offset-use pure pills
- Psychological benefit-perceive things to be easier, don’t feel as tired
- Banned at NCAA, not banned at Olympics/WODA
stimulant, large doses increase endurance, increases fuel in blood-increases free fatty acid mobilization. more than 6 cups in 2 hour period banned (by NCAA but not WADA)
beta agonists
mimics epinephrine
• effective at reducing fat and increasing FFM
• very cheap, can buy on internet, ingest orally
• illegal and banned unless have waiver
ph above 7 is
alkaline
ph below 7 is
acid
sodium bicarbonate
alkaline buffer, 300 mg per kg, reduces lactic acid
• Alkaline buffer
• Only benefits anaerobic exercise
• Anaerobic exercise builds lactic acid which cause cell Ph to go down
• SB acts as an alkaline booster and boosts Ph up to 7.5 from normally 7
o 6.2-6.3 when fatigue sets in
• Tests have proven benefits
• Need about 300 mg/kg body weight approx 90 min before activity
• Negatives:
o Can cause stomach problems-GI (gastronal intestinal)
o Not everyone gets benefits
• Not banned at any levels
vital capacity VC
max amount of air you can expire after a max inspiration (the functional part of the lung, what you have control over)-
80% TLC
residual lung volume RLV
the air that stays in your lungs after exhaling
20% TLC
total lung capacity
the sum of VC and RLV.
restrictive diseases
when the lung volume VC is much lower than expected
emphysema
alveoli lose their elasticity, reduces VC till person cant get oxygen
