Energy, DRI’s And Dietary Assessment Flashcards
Sport nutrition goals are not
Static
They are periodized for peak performances and daily needs are always changing
Nutrition support must be
Periodized
What do nutrition plans need to be
Personalized (unique to event, performance goals, practical challenges, food preferences, etc)
What is the primary goal of training
To adapt the body to the physical and metabolic stresses of exercise
What does the nutrition plan need to support
The adaptations
What is critical to support the overall health and performance
Energy availability
Energy availability=
Energy intake - energy cost of exercise
When should body comp changes happen
Off season
Body composition planning should be
Periodized and care taken to support the health of athlete
How should nutrition guidelines (energy, protein, carb) be presented
Per kilogram, body weight per day
g/kg/d
What is also important in nutrition guidelines
Nutrient timing
What balance should nutrition strategies support
Intense training and staying healthy (injury and illness)
What should all athletes conduct a risk vs. Benefit analysis for
Sport supplementation
When should 3rd party testes supplements only be used
When optimal performance diet is already in place
Dietary reference intakes (DRI )
How we in North America set nutrition intake for certain gender, population,etc
What is estimated average requirement for
Population
What is the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for
Individuals
What is the EAR
Median daily intake value that is estimated to meet the requirement of half the healthy individuals in a life-stage or gender
- at this level, the other half of individuals in the specific group would not have their needs met
What is the estimated average requirement (EAR) based on
Specific criterion of adequacy, derived from review of literature
What is used to calculate the RDA
EAR
What else is the EAR used to calculate for population
Adequacy of nutrient intakes and used to plan intake of groups
What is the recommended dietary allowance (RDA)
Average daily dietary intake level that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirement of nearly all healthy individuals in a particular life stage or gender group
