Q

Timing of Fiber intake

A

Meals further away from activity should be higher in fiber compared to the meals or snacks closer to activity (1 to 2 hours before) so food has time to digest and be available for energy

28
Main substrates for high endurance activity
Carbohydrates (moderate to high intensity) and Fat (Lower-intensity activity) - As exercise duration continues (prolonged bouts of exercise), fuel substrates begin to shift, moving more from carbohydrates (glycogen) to fat stores
29
Amount of carbohydrates an endurance athlete should have depends on what?
Size, Gender, Training Program and Sport
30
Carbohydrate amount for high endurance athletes
8 to 12 grams/kilograms/day
31
Pre-exercise meal fueling strategies for Endurance athletes: 3-4 hours before exercise
High in quality Carbohydrates Lean Protein Low in Fiber and Fat
32
Pre-exercise Hydration Endurance athletes:
4 hours before activity
33
Pre-exercise snack fueling strategies for Endurance athletes:
30 minutes to 1 hour before exercise High in Carbohydrates Moderate in Protein Low in Fat and Protein
34
Peri-exercise snack fueling strategies for Endurance athletes:
Carbohydrate intake should begin shortly after onset of activity, but only if the exercise session is continuous and will last more than 60 minutes.
35
Pre-exercise Hydration strategies for Endurance athletes:
Continue Hydrating (ex 5 - 10 oz of water)
36
Peri-exercise hydration strategies for Endurance athletes:
Continue hydrating, which is dependent on the athlete’s sweat rate. Example: 0.4 to 0.8 liters per hour Sports drinks should contain 6 to 8% carbohydrate solution. Replace electrolytes lost with sports drinks or foods high in sodium and potassium.
37
Post-exercise hydration strategies for Endurance athletes:
Continue hydrating. Example: Drink 16 to 24 oz water or sports drink for every pound lost during exercise (1.25 to 1.5 liter per kilogram of body weight lost during exercise).
38
Post-exercise snack fueling strategies for Endurance athletes:
Critical only if another exercise bout is planned within 24 hours; however, no harm in replenishment soon after exercise 2 hours after exercise (Continue meals in 2-hour intervals up to 6 hours.) Quality carbohydrate and lean protein Carbohydrates: 1 to 1.2 g/kg per hour for 4 to 6 hours post-exercise Protein: 0.25 to 0.3 g/kg post-exercise
39
What does Resistance Exercise Stimulate
Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS)stimulated and augmented by protein ingestion (Muscle Hypertrophy)
40
Factors in Muscle Hypertrophy
Properly designed and Simultaneous resistance-training program. Hormone Levels, Total energy and Protein
41
Fueling Strategies - Strength Athletes: Pre- Exercise Meal
2 - 4 hours before exercise; High in quality Carbs (1 - 4 g/kg) 20 - 30 g lean protein Low in Fiber and Fat Start Hydration 4 h before
42
Fueling Strategies - Strength Athletes: Pre- Exercise Snack
High in carbs Mod in Protein Low in Fiber and Fat Cont Hydrating (5 - 10 oz)
43
Fueling Strategies - Strength Athletes: Peri-Exercise Snack
30 to 60 g carbohydrates per hour spaced every 15 to 20 minutes for exercise lasting over an hour Continue hydrating, which is dependent on the athlete’s sweat rate.
44
Fueling Strategies - Strength Athletes: Post-Exercise Meal/Snack
Critical only if exercising again within 24 hours, but not harmful to try to consume quality carbohydrates and protein soon after exercise session comes to an end and at repeated intervals (about every 4 hours), particularly when it comes to protein Quality carbohydrates and lean protein Carbohydrates: 1 to 1.2 g/kg for 4 to 6 hours post-exercise Protein: 20 to 30 g (0.25 to 0.3 g/kg) consumed after exercise Cont Hydrating
45
Commonality in diet to simultaneously lose body fat and gain muscle
Quality and Quantity of Protein Increasing protein intake while in a negative energy balance can help preserve muscle.
46
What is essential for a weight increase or reduction plan
High-quality Protein, whole grain carbohydrates and Healthy fats
47
Time it takes to digest Carbohydrates
1 - 2 Hours
48
Time it takes to digest Protein
3 - 4 Hours
49
Time it takes to digest Fats
Up to 6 Hours
50
Manipulating Carbohydrate intake on a day-to-day or even a meal-by-meal basis
Carbohydrate Periodization (Low- to Moderate- to High-carbohydrate meals are used to alter the availability of Glucose in a preceding training session
51
The same number of calories
Isocaloric
52
Waking up in the morning and exercising in a fasted state
Fasted Training
53
A client restricts carbohydrates in the post-exercise period with the intention of enhancing pathways for fatty-acid oxidation
Recover Low
54
In this method, athletes perform an evening training session, restrict carbohydrates during overnight recovery, and then complete a fasted training session the following morning. The total time with reduced muscle glycogen is between 12 to 14 hours. Using this technique for 1 to 3 weeks showed improved endurance efficiency.
Sleep Low, Train Low
55
Athletes complete a morning session to deplete muscle glycogen and follow the day up with a reduced carbohydrate intake, so the second exercise session is with reduced muscle glycogen.
Twice-A-Day Training
56
A period of time following exercise in which nutrients such as protein and carbohydrates can be used to maximize muscle growth and Glycogen replenishment
Anabolic Window
57
Anabolic Window timing
30 to 45 minutes after exercise 1 - 2 hours post exercise is when Protein Synthesis happens most effectively Total amount of protein and carbohydrates eaten over the course of the day is more important for body composition and performance than nutrient-timing strategies specific to the workout itself
57
Breakfast consumption benefits
Improvement in Behavior, Cognition, Concentration and school performance in children Quality in the overall diet, micronutrient intake, Bodyweight and other lifestyle factors
58
Maximal Effect for Carbohydrate Timing
Continuous exercise > 60 minutes Repeat bouts of exercise (training or competition) within 24 hours
59
Maximal Effect for Protein Timing
Timing around exercise in a fasted state or if previous meal was > 3 hours prior
60
When is the timing of meals important?
Individual's goal includes extreme muscle or strength gains, extreme fat loss in advanced exercisers and continuous and exhaustive training lasting over 60 min or more
61
Increased Strength and Muscle Mass
Carbohydrates, Protein and Creatine taken around the activity session
62
Glycogen stores during exercise
90 - 120 minutes
63
Sleep Low, Train Slow Carbohydrate Periodization Method
Athletes perform an evening training session, restrict carbohydrates during overnight recovery and then then complete a fasting workout in the morning
64
Strength athletes pre-workout meal timing
2 - 4 hours prior to exercise
65
Pre-exercise snack timing before endurance exercise activity
30 min to 1 hour
