Substrate
A molecule that is acted upon by an enzyme.

Outside or external.
True or False? Carbohydrates and fat are the main substrates used by the body during endurance activity.
True
True or False? Carbohydrates are the main substrate used during moderate to high-intensity exercise, whereas fat is the predominate substrate used during lower-intensity exercise.
True
True or False? Substantial muscle hypertrophy can occur without a simultaneous resistance training program if an exerciser consumes at least 3.0 g/kg/day of protein per day.
False
Isocaloric
The same number of calories.
True or False? It is impossible to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time.
False
True or False? Recent data questions the anabolic window and suggests that the total amount of protein and carbohydrate ate over the course of the day is more important for body composition and performance than nutrient timing strategies specific to the workout itself.
True
True or False? The timing of nutrients is more important than the quantity and quality of nutrients to improve body composition and health.
False
Why is breakfast an important meal?
The body is in a fasted state, The body is somewhat dehydrated, Breakfast can improve cognition and concentration
What is the anabolic window?
It is a period following exercise during which nutrients such as protein and carbohydrates can be used to maximize muscle growth and glycogen replenishment.
What is the sleep low, train low carbohydrate periodization method?
Athletes perform an evening training session, restrict carbohydrates during overnight recovery, and then complete a fasted training session the following morning.
