Q

6 aerobic training response and CHO metabolism

A
  1. Increase VO2 max
  2. Work at higher % VO2 max without fatigue
  3. Enhance use of glucose (less used at low intensity, increased capacity during intense/max exercise)

Q

4 CHO feeding strategy concepts

A
  1. Manipulate daily CHO intake to match likely fuel requirements
  2. Promote high CHO availability for performance and comp
  3. Promote low CHO availability for selected non-performance training sessions

35
Q

Muscles cells from muscle glycogen to glucose in liver

A

Muscle glycogen -> pyruvate -> lactate -> glucose

36

37
Q

4-5 g/kg BWof CHO <4 hrs prior to exercise (>90 min)

A

Benefit
Increases glycogen stores

38
Q

1-2 g/kg BW <1hr prior to exercise (>90 min)

A

No benefit during light-moderate exercise

39
Q

What must the meal be if <1 hr before >90 min exercise

A

Low in fat and fiber, high CHO, moderate protein

40
Q

50-60g 15-60 min before exercise (>90 min)

A

Detriment or may benefit extended exercise - based on athlete tolerance

41
Q

What is reactive hypoglycemia

A

Rapid increase in blood glucose
Increased secretion of insulin (causes low blood sugar)
Increased transport of glucose into tissues
- may speed up muscle glycogen utilization

42
Q

What does insulin do

A

Keeps blood glucose in tight range

43
Q

When does reactive hypoglycemia happen

A

Extreme situation
Too many CHO, no protein to slow digestion

44
Q

If athlete responds with reactive hypoglycemia

A

Avoid CHO (particularly high GI foods) 15-60 mins prior to performance/training

45
Q

6 characteristics of the meal/snack to have before exercise

A
  • low fibre to facilitate gastric emptying
  • minimize GI distress
  • High CHO
  • familiar
  • well tolerated by athlete (practice, practice)
  • not hungry or full
46
Q

Why have high CHO meal/snack

A

Maintain blood glucose
Maximize glycogen storage

47
Q

What type of CHO should be ingested prior

A

Glucose
Fructose
Glucose polymer (maltodextrins)

48
Q

Why ingest fructose prior

A

Absorbed more slowly from GI tract
- will reduce insulin response and possible reduce reactive hypoglycemia

49
Q

Why not ingest fructose before

A

May cause GI irritation/distress and negatively affect performance

50
Q

Why ingest a glucose polymer (maltodextrins)

A

Does not seem to cause GI disturbance
Improved digestion and absorption when compared to simple sugars

51
Q

CHO loading?

A

Increase muscle and liver glycogen for prolonged, intermittent high intensity exercise

52
Q

Classic/old views surrounding CHO loading

A

Depletion, CHO deprivation, CHO load

53
Q

Current views for CHO loading

A

Taper aerobic exercise, moderate CHO, high CHO/rest

54
Q

What is CHO dosage during CHO loading

A

8-12 g/kg/day

55
Q

At what rate does a single source CHO oxidize

A

1g/min

56
Q

How much CHO benefitted during prolonged exercise

A

15-25g every 15-20 mins

57
Q

Why have 15-25g every 15-20 mins during prolonged exercise

A

May spare muscle glycogen and regulate blood glucose levels

58
Q

What are CHO recommendations during endurance events dependent on

A
  • exercise duration
  • type of sport
  • rules and regulations of the sport
  • exercise intensity
59
Q

With lower absolute intensity

A

Lower CHO oxidation rates= adjust the CHO dosage downwards

60
Q

What do athletes need to do for all fueling strategies

A

Need to train/practice all fuelling strategies - liquids, CHO type, etc

61
Q

What food options should we avoid during high intensity training or competitions

A

High fat, fibre, protein foods
These slow down digestion

62
Q

When has CHO mouth rinse improved performance

A

During moderate to high intensity exercise (~60-75% VO2 max) of at least 1 hr

63
Q

Why does mouth rinse seem to improve performance

A

Improvement may not be metabolic but neural
Via oral CHO receptors (glucose and Maltodextrin) that activate brain regions related to sensation of reward and pleasure

64
Q

What does mouth rinse not have affect on

A

Fuel storage or glycogen stores

65
Q

What do we have to look at on sports products

A

Dosage and formulation of CHO
Also other ingredients

66
Q

Does Gatorade zero give energy

A

No sugar no energy
Sugar alcohols can also cause stomach upset
Can give electrolytes and fluid

67
Q

Benefit of fructose during exercise

A

Absorbed more slowly from GI tract
Will reduce insulin response and possible reactive hypoglycemia

68
Q

Possible negative impact of fructose during exercise

A

May cause GI irritation/distress and negatively affect performance

69
Q

Benefits of glucose polymer during exercise

A

Does not seem to cause GI disturbance
Improved digestion and absorption when compared to simple sugars

70
Q

5 CHO related causes of fatigue in exercise

A
  1. Hypoglycemia
  2. Increased acidity (accumulation of H+)
  3. Low muscle glycogen stores during aerobic exercise
  4. Training (mod-high int) in a fasted state
  5. Low muscle glycogen stores during anaerobic exercise
71
Q

Fatigue delaying mechanisms: exogenous CHO feeding

A
  • maintenance of blood glucose levels
  • reduction of psychological effect (impact on RPE)
  • sparing of muscle glycogen
72
Q

What should athletes of long duration exercise aim to achieve

A

CHO intakes that meet needs of training programs
Replace CHO stores during recovery between sessions and competitions

73

74
Q

What happens in absence of CHO intake

A

Muscle glycogen storage rate post workout is low
