Q

How does exercise increase carb oxidation?

A

In an intensity dependent manner. This involves:
- Increase liver glucose output (to = muscle glucose uptake)
- Increased muscle glycogen breakdown

Q

Why is fatigue strongly correlated with carbohydrate depletion?

A
  • Muscle glycogen depletion
  • Hypoglycaemia reflecting liver glycogen depletion

Q

What is the evidence that carb feeding can effect fatigue due to carb depletion?

A

–Carbohydrate loading to increase muscle glycogen
–Carbohydrate during exercise to maintain blood glucose

Q

What is the relationship between repeated sprint ability and glycogen % drop?

A

The greater the glycogen % drop, the greater the drop in repeated sprint ability.

Q

When would ‘carb-loading’ be used?

A

Prep for event >90 min in sustained, intermittent exercise.

10-12 g/kg/d for 36-48h pre-event

16
Q

What is the main goal on the day of the event?

A

Ensuring liver glycogen stores are high ready for performance

17
Q

What are carb targets for ‘pre-event fuelling’ (>60 mins)?

A

1-4 g/kg body mass, consumed 1-4 h before exercise

18
Q

What happens as you get closer to the competition (on day of event)?

A

Decrease amount of carbs, less fat, less fibre

19
Q

What is main goal after exercise (before next session/comp)?

A

Replenish muscle glycogen after training/competition.

20
Q

What should daily fat intake be?

A

20-35% of total energy intake

21
Q

What should proportion of saturdated fat be?

A

Less than 10% of energy intake.

22
Q

What does fat adaptation, carb restoration study cause?

A

Fat adaptation:
Increased fat oxidation
Decreased carbohydrate oxidation
Spared muscle glycogen

23
Q

Does fat adaptation, carbohydrate
restoration study cause any effect on a cycle time trial?

A

No - despite fat adaptations

24
Q

What adaptation does fat adaptation, carbohydrate restoration studies have on high-intensity exercise performance?

A

Fat adaptation impairs HIIE performance

25
What is a ketogenic diet?
<50g carb/day, fat intake >70-80% energy ~15% or 1.5 g/kg/d protein (not >25%) - Ensure adequate sodium/potassium
26
How long is a keto diet adaptation?
at least 2-3 weeks - elevated blood levels of ketones and tissue adaptation to enhance their use as fuel. - increases use of fat as muscle fuel
27
What does increased rates of fat oxidation result in?
Reduced economy (increased oxygen demand for a given speed).
28
What were the effects of lowcarb/highfat diet compared to high carbs diet?
In contrast to training with diets providing chronic or periodised high carbohydrate availability, adaptation to an LCHF diet impaired performance in elite endurance athletes.
