2 Flashcards
in an experiment, which did the best,
diets consisting of only carbs, only protein, and a mixture of both
in classic glycogen loading, what is day 1
Day 1: exhaustive exercise
in classic glycogen loading, what is day 2 and 3
carb free diet
in classic glycogen loading, what is day 4,5 and 6
glycogen loading
in classic glycogen loading, what is day 7
the day of testing with exercise
modified glycogen test
only 3 days of glycogen loading and no exhaustive exercise or carb free days
people who exercise daily should get what percent of their diet from carbs
60-65%
for glycogen resynthesis, a person should..
eat foods high on the glycemic index (aka high sugars) best for results
–eat within 30 minutes of end of workout
glycogen synthasis peaks when
immediately after exercise
how many carbs should a person eat after exercise for ideal glycogen synthasis
30-40 grams
glycemic index
a measure of how quickly blood sugar levels (i.e. levels of glucose in the blood) rise after eating a particular type of food.
high on the list of glycemic index is
i. High on list: foods high in refined sugars
a. Sucrose
b. Glucose
c. White bread
d. Rice
e. potatoes
medium on the list of glycemic index is
ii. Medium of list: foods high in fibers
a. Fruits/fruit juices
b. Vegetables
c. Whole grains
low on the list of glycemic index is what
iii. Low on list: legumes
a. Milk
b. Fructose
a person with 400 grams glycogen has what in the muscle and what in the liver
a. 350gms are in the muscle, and 50gms are in the liver
what is RDA
recommended dietary allowances
for normal person protein RDA is
.8 gram per kilogram a day
for strength and power athletes, what is protein RDA
iv. Strength/power athletes: 1-2gms/kg protein
for endurance athletes what is protein RDA
1-1.5 grams per kilogram a day
whey. protein to carb ratio
vi. Whey and CHO = 1:4 ratio
a. Do in order to maximize protein anabolism post-workout
b. Carbs stimulate insulin, which helps protein be taken up by cells
c. Whey is found in milk
eating prior to exercise, negative effect?
i. A study comparing eating a solid meal versus eating a liquid meal (ex: Ensure) found that they were not any signs of GI tract disturbance with exercise
anabolic drugs
promote the growth of tissue, muscle
anabolic steroids, beta 2 agonists, HGH,
most abused drugs because of extra muscle benefit, mimic testosterone,
they decrease catabolic reactions (endurance athletes benefit by preventing from tissue breaking down from long term exercise, it increase red blood cells), has side effects (liver toxicity, abnormal effects in the heart, caused by when , how long, and multiple ones called stacking) not everyone is prone to these side effects,
anabolic steroids
mimic testosterone, most potent anabolics available.
potential damage to liver and heart
androgenic, male characteristics in women
beta 2 agonists
clenbuterol
decrease fat and potentially increase ffm muscle
stimulates epinephrine
used for treatment of obstructive pulmonary disorders, bronchia passageways close down, this drug dilates them
o High dosages of oral drugs have anabolic drugs, Clenbuterol is a potent lypolytic drug, used as a cutting agent, popular with bodybuilders, caused fat to decrease and tones it, taken in high amounts in animal industry to increase fat free mass, illegal in the U.S. except with veterinarians, if you were tested for clenbuterol and prove you never took the drug you would still be guilty if its in there its in there, not potent anabolic agent, its inexpensive, popular because its oral and cheap and easily sold online, side effects are high blood pressure muscle tremors and high heart rate, if someone has a specific problem they can make a petition to take the drug they need aka Asthma, Wada’s petitions: people can consume a drug orally or injected and they wont be able to detect it so it’s a way to get around the WADA system.
first steroid developed
Dianabol, athletes after 1960 began to start juicing, First group was Venice Beach Bodybuilders, then the first Team was the San Diego Chargers because of the strength coaches
HGH
main effect is bone growth and to a degree tissue, HGH doesn’t have the best anabolic effect, it has a potent lypolitic effect (decreases fat), Endogenous (what you produce inside), Exogenous (what you take from the outside), some people suffer from excessive HGH (acromagly) they are giants, large mandibles, and jaw: used clinically if kids have slow growth spurt, if an adult gets it they cant grow, people with acromyglia dye young due to cardiovascular problems, its expensive, it is very difficult to detect, athletes can challenge such testing in court of law.
big in baseball
testosterone precursors
a. DHEA (minimal effectiveness): is a precursor to androstenedione (aka “andro”), where an increase in andro increases the amount of testosterone produced
a. causes the body to increase its production of testosterone
b. Increases levels of blood lipids and fatty acids
c. Also increases female characteristics because testosterone produces a small amount of estradiol (precursor to estrogen)
o Anabolic steroids (best, for muscle mass, and most potent anabolic agents)
o HGH and Beta 2 Agonists (to some degree have anabolic effect, stronger lypolitic effect)
o Test Precursors (Andro very mild anabolic effect and limited effect/function as in ergogenic aid)
Popular during mcguire (he said he got big with andro and creatine), androtestendonic (Andro) and DHEA(no anabolic effect at all), this stimulates the production of testosterone, cholesterol converted to DHEA and then to Andro then to testosterone (cascade effect), cholesterol the precursor, studies show abut Andro: nothing happened! What happened though is that it caused test prod but most of it changed automatically to estradiol which in the long term could of caused female characteristics and so it also increased of LDL and Triglycerides and these are abnormal blood lipids called arthrogenic substances that cause heart problems. It used to be in OTC for cheap, Mcguire did not get big on Andro neither in creatine,
beta agonists
beta blockers
a. Decreases the effect of epinephrine
b. Reduces oxygen requirement for the heart
c. Slows down rate of contractions of heart, rate of breathing, decreases hand tremors
a. Was initially created for heart patients to treat cardiomyopathy
b. Taken by golfers, archery, and target shooting
i. Illegal to take only with these sports
diuretics
o Increases urine volume so water loss, alcohol and caffeine are diuretics, one could drop liters of water in little time, benefits people in the sports of weight related, is one of the most abused drugs, Urine is tested a lot, caffeine used to be illegal, if you increase the volume of urine and dilute the drugs taken in, diuretic is a method to beat drugs, even in business workers are tested for drug use, yellow urine = urea in it.
