1.1 Introduction to Sports Nutrition Flashcards
Product used to supplement a nutrient deficiency in the diet (for example, multiple victims)
Dietary supplement
Any ingested or employed element used to improve performance (Like creatine)
Ergogenic aid
Nutrient and non-nutrient intakes consumed by mouth can also be defined as one’s habitual nourishment or regularly consumed food and drink.
Diet — What you eat
All physiological processes (including ingestion, digestion, absorption, circulation, assimilation, and excretion) are involved in consuming food or drink.
Nutrition —What your body does to what you eat
any ingested or employed element used to improve performance
Ergogenic aid
Dietary products used to supplement a nutrient deficiency in the diet
Dietary Supplements
any ingested or employed element used to decrease performance
Ergolistic
What is the difference between nutrition vs diet?
Diet — nutrient and non-nutrient intakes consumed by the mouth. Anything you eat.
Nutrition — all physiological processes that occur once food or drink enters the body to nourish all tissues
What are the 4 types of diet?
1) Everything you eat
2) Habitual nourishment
3) Amount of food for a special reason (autoimmune diseases)
4) Weight loss
What are the 6 stages of Nutrition?
- Ingestion
- Digestion — (break down protein content.)
- Absorption — gets into the stream Portal circulation to the liver, and it
- Circulation — Blood gives it back to the body.
- Assimilation —amino acids turn into RNA and rewound into proteins
- Elimination — Secretion of waste
______ is Any substance that provides nourishment to help the body maintain homeostasis in all body systems.
Nutrient
What are Energy-Yeilding Nutrients?
Energy-Yeilding Nutrients — Yield usable energy through calories.
1) Carbs — Glucose (preferred energy)
2) Proteins — Amino Acids
3) Fats — Fatty acids and glycerol
If there are no calories, is there any energy in it?
NO!
What are examples of non-energy-yielding Nutrients?
Non-Eneergy Yeilding Nutrients — These don’t have calories but are still important for the body.
1) Water
2) Minerals
3) Vitamins
What are examples of Macronutrients?
Macronutrients — Consumed in large quantities to meet bodily needs. (grams)
1) Carbs 2) Proteins 3) Fats 4) Water (need a lot)
What are examples of micronutrients?
Micronutrients — Consumed in smaller quantities (milligrams)
1) Vitamins
2) Minerals
What are the primary factors that impact nutrition?
- Genetics/ Family History
- Disease or medical conditions
- Deficenaces
- Daily behaviors
- Activity status
- Eating patterns.
Catabolism vs. Anabolism
Catabolism — break down of tissues or energy reserves
Glygolisys — breaking down food to get energy
Anabolism — building of tissues or storage of energy reserves
protein synthesis for muscle growth
Primary Goals of Sport Nutrition
1) Provide adequate energy for training and recovery
2) Ensure support for tissue growth, maintenance and repair
3) Deliver support for efficient metabolic and immune function
Fitness training can burn ______ kcals/week
1,500-2,500
Diet must match ____ and ___ demands
metabolic; recovery
Adequate _____ is the best indicator of nutritional success
energy intake
What is the most common macro Needed?
