25
Q

Beta-alanine effect on exercise and performance

A

Increases synthesis of carnosine, a dipeptide that buffers changes in muscle pH, reducing muscle fatigue

26
Q

Nitrate effect on exercise and performance

A

Dilates blood vessels in exercising muscle

Improves energy production

27
Q

Branched-Chain Amino Acids effect on exercise and performance

A

Metabolized by mitochondria in skeletal muscle to produce energy during exercise

28
Q

Branched-Chain Amino Acids

A

A group of three essential amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) that help the body build muscle and decrease muscle fatigue.

29
Q

Caffeine effect on exercise and performance

A

Reduces perceived pain and exertion and increases fat metabolism

30
Q

Calcium effect on exercise and performance

A

Improves bone and joint health and helps muscles contract

31
Q

Citrulline effect on exercise and performance

A

Increases delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscle

32
Q

Creatine effect on exercise and performance

A

Helps muscles generate energy for short-term anaerobic activity

33
Q

Glutamine effect on exercise and performance

A

Metabolism and energy production

Improves immune function and preserves protein stores

Reduces fatigue and decreases muscle soreness

34
Q

Iron effect on exercise and performance

A

Increases oxygen uptake

Reduces heart rate and decreases lactate concentration during exercise, which in turn increases blood flow

35
Q

Catabolic

A

Metabolic activity involving the breakdown of molecules such as proteins or lipids.

36
Q

Anabolism

A

The building of complex molecules in the body from more simple, smaller molecules.

37
Q

A

A process that produces protein to repair muscle damage and oppose muscle breakdown.

38
Q

Biological Value

A

The percentage of protein used by the body.

39
Q

A food source containing all nine essential amino acids the body needs.

44
Q

Anticatabolic

A

Properties that protect muscle mass from being broken down.

45
Q

Refractory Period

A

A window where muscle protein synthesis (MPS) becomes resistant and amino acids are used for other processes.

46
Q

Cell Proliferation

A

The process by which a cell grows and divides to produce new cells.
