Chapter B Flashcards
Primary fuel for higher intensity activity
CHO
Recommended CHO intake for base training
5-7 g/kg/day
CHO recommendation as intensity and/or volume increases
Exceeds 10 g/kg/day
Protein recommendations for endurance and strength trained athletes
1.2-1.7 g/kg/day
I cup of milk has how much protein ?
8 grams of protein
3 most common protein powders
Whey
Soy
Casein
Recommended fat intake
Range from 20% to 35% of total energy intake
Weight loss (fat loss) should be addressed during which training phase ?
Base or transition
What is dehydration ?
Water deficit in excess of 2% to 3% body mass
How much fluid do you lose during exercise ?
16-24 ounces fluid for every lb
450-675 ml fluid for 0.5 kg
1 gallon of water weighs
8 lb
**Pre-exercise nutrition **
- Low in fat and fiber to facilitate gastric emptying and minimize GI distress
- High in CHO to max maintenance of blood glucose
- Moderate in protein
- eat familiar foods
During excercise
Primary goal: replace fluid losses and provide CHO for maintenance of blood glucose level
What is the recommendation dose of CHO consumption DURING exercise for maintenance of blood glucose level
30-60 g/hr
After Exercise
Goal is to provide adequate fluids, electrolytes, energy and CHO to replace muscle glycogen and ensure rapid recovery
