Q

Majority of studies show carb feeding during exercise improves performance, what type of exercise is this most shown in?

A

The magnitude of the effect is greater the longer the performance is (greater effect during prolonged exercise).

Q

Name the 3 benefits of carb feeding during exercise.

A
  • Maintains plasma glucose concentration and helps to sustain high rates of carbohydrate oxidation.
  • Spares liver glycogen (again, helping to sustain plasma glucose and carbohydrate oxidation).
  • May spare muscle glycogen… although not often observed.

Q

What does mouth-rinsing do?

A

Mouth-rinsing activates parts of the brain which detects that energy is coming soon which allows you to maintain higher intensity for longer and prevents decrease motor unit recruitment and power output.

Q

How does using multiple carbs lead to greater higher uptake?

A

Explanation - different carbs use different transporters. If we have large amounts you overwhelm the transporters and it becomes blocked. If you use multiple carbs then we can use multiple transporters and we can get a higher uptake.

17
Q

How does power output change between placebo, glucose, glucose + fructose?

A

8% faster with glucose+fructose compared to glucose, and 19%
faster compared to water (placebo).

18
Q

What does multiple transportable carbohydrates refer to?

A

Multiple transportable carbohydrates refers to sugars that are transported across the intestine by stimulating more than one protein transporter (e.g., glucose [via SGLT1] and fructose [via GLUT5]).
