Essential Amino Acids
Histidine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, methionine
Nonessential Amino Acids
Alanine, asaparagine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid
Conditionally essential amino acids
Arginine, glutamine, glycine, cystine, proline, serine, tyrosine
Fiber
21-29g women
30-38g men
Protein
*0.8 -1g/kg for young adults in general fitness
*1-1.6 for aerobic endurance
*1.4-1.7 for anaerobic strength athletes
*1.8-2.7 for cutting
*1.5-2 for bulking
*anabolic window = 3-5 hrs but sensitivity 24-48 hrs
*0.15-0.25/kg protein if 4 hrs pre comp. At least 10g protein consumed within 3 hrs of exercise for endurance and 30g for strength. Specifics: 20-25g protein(8.5-10g) from BCAA’s, 2-3g from leucine) or older athletes needing 40g. If protein was in fasted state, consume within 30 min.
*Adults eat 20-30g high-leucine every 3-4 hrs.
* Almost half body’s protein in skeletal muscle, 15% skin, the rest visceral.
*Protein is 50% bone volume and 33% bone mass bc of influence in IGF-1
*Higher protein helps calcium absorb
Carbohydrate
8-10g carb aerobic endurance athletes
5-6g carb anaerobic athletes
consume 1.5g carb within 30 min after training for aerobic, preferably high GI. every 2 hours. 24 hours to fully complete glycogen store restoration.
1-4g/kg carb if 4 hours pre race. if 2 hours, 1g/kg. if 1 hour, 0.5g/kg.
loading: 8-10g then 10-12g 36-48 hours before
athletes consume 30-90g/28-144g carbs as drink or food each hour. strength athletes consume 30-100g high GI carbs after exercise.
during-competition fluid recommendation:
children under 40kg/88lbs: 5oz of cool water or sports drink every 20min
adolescents 60kg (132lbs) drink 9oz every 20 min
aerobic endurance
tennis players 200-400ml fluid per changeover and some fluid from sports drink
20-30 mEq sodium with chloride and 2-5mEq potassium and a 5-10% carb concentration.
prevent water loss of 2%+ of bodyweight.
if next activity is soon, 1.5 L of fluid for each kg of body weight loss.
3-8oz every 15min during competition for adults
dehydration 2+% causes decreased blood pressure, decrease stroke volume, decreased cardiac output, decreased blood flow to muscles
calorie estimate: light activity
male: 17cal/lb or 38 cal/kg
female: 16cal/lb or 35 cal/kg
calorie estimate: moderate activity
male: 19cal/lb or 41cal/kg
female: 17cal/lb or 37cal/kg
calorie estimate: heavy activity
male: 23cal/lb or 50cal/kg
female: 20cal/lb or 44cal/kg
BMI classifications
underweight: <18.5
normal: 18.5-24.9
overweight: 25-29.9
obese: >30
BMI for children
less than 5th percentile: underweight
5-85: healthy
85-95: overweight
95+: obese
high practicality hydration biomarkers
body weight (acute and chronic), urine osmolaity (chronic), USG (chronic)
USG
< 1.02
hyponatremia
low sodium below 130mmol
less than 120 can be deadly
1lb body fat loss during exercise
= 16oz fluid lost
