Q

What are the benefits of HGH in sport?

A

Reduces body fat and increase body mass

22
Q

Is HGH prohibited?

A

Yes

23
Q

Who would benefit from blood doping?

A

Endurance performers who rely on the support of oxygen to muscles for aerobic respiration, e.g. road cyclists, distance runners and triathletes

24
Q

Who would benefit from intermittent hypoxic training?

A

Training in hypoxia conditions has traditionally been associated with enhancing performance in endurance activities however I HT will enhance speed power and RSA so it is also used by anaerobic athletes and games players.

25
Q

Who would benefit from using cooling aids?

A

Prevent cooling product mainly used by endurance athletes or athletes competing in the heat.
Post event cooling products to promote recovery or treat injuries are used by all types of athletes.

26
Q

What are the three pharmacological aids?

A

Anabolic steroids, EPO and human growth hormone

27
Q

What are the three physiological aids?

A

Blood doping intermittent hypoxic training and cooling aids.

28
Q

What is blood doping?

A

The injection of oxygenated blood into an athlete before an event in an illegal attempt to enhance athletic performance

29
Q

What are the risks of blood doping?

A

Blood clots can cause block arteries causing heart attacks.

30
Q

What are the benefits of blood doping in sporting activity?

A

Improve an ability to perform sub maximal and maximal endurance exercise due to the larger. supply of oxygen

31
Q

Is blood doping prohibited?

A

Yes

32
Q

What is intermittent hypoxic training?

A

Involves the performance training at lower oxygen levels with intervals

33
Q

What are the benefits of intermittent hypoxic training?

A

Efficient cardiovascular system

34
Q

Is intermittent training prohibited?

A

No

35
Q

What are cooling aids?

A

Use primarily before the activity in attempts to reduce the core body temperature and improve performance

36
Q

When and why should you have slow release carbohydrates?

A

Three hours before your performance to increase glycogen stores and prevent hypoglycaemia.

37
Q

When and why should you have a simple carbohydrate?

A

Two hours before your performance to maintain blood glucose levels.

38
Q

What food should you have during event and why?

A

You should have 60 to 90 g of carbs per hour and you should drink isotonic sports drinks.
To sustain carbohydrate availability to maintain blood glucose levels and prevent dehydration

39
Q

What foods should be had 30 minutes after performance and why?

A

One to 1.5 g of carbohydrates per KG per hour of exercise.
Including protein and other nutrients in the meal.
To replenish glycogen stores, inclusion of proteins produces a higher rate of glycogen synthesis

40
Q

What is carbohydrate loading?

A

The increase of carbohydrates in the diet

41
Q

Who would adopt carbohydrate loading?

A

Most endurance performers who rely on large stores of glycogen to fuel ATP synthesis.

42
Q

What are the benefits and what are the risks of carbohydrate loading?

A

Benefits: if diet limits carbohydrates before loading then the enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates is sped up loading can increase glycogen synthesis and stores and therefore increased endurance capacity.

Risk: can disrupt prevent routine depletion phase can cause fatigue and lethargy loading phase can cause weight gain

43
Q

What do isotonic drinks do?

A

Replaces fluid lost by sweating and supplies boost of carbohydrate

44
Q

What do hypertonic drinks do?

A

Preaches glycogen stores after exercise

45
Q

What do hypotonic drinks do?

A

Absorbed very quickly good for hydration without the boost of carbohydrates

46
Q

Why is maintaining the right hydration level key?

A

Regulate body temperature and therefore regulates the heart
Maintains blood volume which reduces pressure and maintains blood viscosity.
Regulate the transport of essential nutrients

47
Q

What is the issue We face from dehydration?

A

Increase viscosity and decreased blood flow
Increase lactic acid production
Earlier OBLA
Decreased blood flow to the skin

48
Q

What is caffeine as a stimulant?

A

It is a stimulant that reaches the brain quickly to stimulate the central nervous system.
It can increase mental alertness and breakdown of fact for energy and therefore increased endurance capacity
However, it can cause dehydration as it is a diuretic and anxiety and insomnia
Speed and power athlete, emotion likely to use this

49
Q

What is creatine as a supplement?

A

Creatine supplementation as a consumption of the synthetic form of creatine taken for for an ergogenic effect.
It is taken mostly and powdered form
Increases PC stores delayed threshold of APPC system muscle hypertrophy increased power and strength
However, weight gain due to water retention in the muscle potential muscle cramp or strain and Gastrointestinal stress
This will be good for games players

51
Q

What is bicarbonate as a stimulant?

A

It is an alkaline that neutralises acid so it regulates the bodies pH as a buffer to lactic acid at least tend to take it as sodium bicarbonate.

It buffers lactic acid and carbonic acid allowing muscles to function optimum levels for longer without fatigue.
However, it can cause naughty bloating or gastrointestinal stress.
Mainly used to speed endurance anaerobic athletes
