Q

BD USED IN

A

1000m & marathon

28
Q

INTERMITTENT HYPOXIC TRAINING

A

high intensity interval training performed in hypoxic conditions either with a mask or hypoxic chamber

29
Q

IHT BENEFITS

A

acclimatise for comp at altitude, increased VO2 max, increased buffering capacity and RSA

30
Q

IHT DANGERS

A

risks will depend on the type of training

31
Q

SPORTS IHT USED IN

A

10000m

32
Q

COOLING AIDS

A

reduce body core temp pre event or to reduce swelling and promote soft tissue recovery post event.

33
Q

COOLING AID BENEFITS

A

reduces cardiovascular strain pre event, reduces swelling and pain post even

34
Q

COOLING AID DANGERS

A

vasoconstriction reducing blood flow, ice burns, mask injuries and lead to overcomplications

35
Q

CARB LOADING

A

depletion - 4 to 7 day prior event
loading - 1 to 3 days prior event
or
loading - 1 to 4 days prior (no depletion)

36
Q

CARB LOADING BENEFITS

A

increased glycogen synthesis, increased glycogen storage, improved endurance

37
Q

CARB LOADING DANGERS

A

depletion can cause hypoglycaemia and fatigue

loading causes weight gain due to water being held in order to store the glycogen

38
Q

SPORTS FOR CARB LOADING

A

games players, endurance sports

39
Q

CAFFEINE

A

stimulates the CNS

40
Q

CAFFEINE BENEFITS

A

increased mental alertness, increased FFA breakdown for energy resynthesis( acts as glycogen sparer for higher energy bursts)

41
Q

CAFFEINE DRAWBACKS

A

diuretic so can increase chance of dehydration, cause nervousness of anxiety, insomnia

42
Q

CREATINE

A

synthetic version of the amino acid

43
Q

CREATINE BENEFITS

A

increased pc stores, increased RSA, promote protein synthesis, speed up recovery from high intensity exercise

44
Q

CREATINE DANGERS

A

weight gain due to additional water retention, gastrointestinal distress

45
Q

BICARBONATE

A

neutralises acid so acts as a buffer to lactic acid

46
Q

BICARBONATE BENEFITS

A

decreased effect of lactic acid and carbonic acid, delayed OBLA, allows muscles to function at optimal level for longer

47
Q

BICARBONATE DANGERS

A

bloating and nausea

48
Q

SPORTS USED FOR

A

speed endurance - 300, 400m

49
Q

NITRATE

A

inorganic compound naturally occurring in green leafy veg - 2 to 3 hours before event

50
Q

NITRATE BENEFITS

A

increased VO2, decreased resting blood pressure and delayed OBLA

51
Q

NITRATE DANGERS

A

long term usage an be linked to gastric cancer

52
Q

SPORTS USED FOR

A

Aerobic / endurance - 5000m

53
Q

isotonic drinks

A

similar glucose and mineral concentration to blood levels .e.g Powerade and lucozade sport in sports such as football

54
Q

hypertonic drink

A

higher glucose concentration than in blood e.g. lucozade energy, in sports such as endurance sports

55
Q

hypotonic

A

lower glycogen concentration than blood e.g. water

56
Q

hyponatraemia

A

the bods salt concentration in the blood drops

57
Q

HYDRATION

A

pre event 0.5litres, before event 250ml of water or sports drink, during 250ml every 15 to 20 mins, post event 0.5l for every 0.5kg lost in body weight

58
Q

HYDRATION BENEFITS

A

Regulates body temp, regulate heart rate, maintain blood volume

59
Q

DEHYDRATION DANGERS

A

increased blood viscosity, faster OBLA, decreased sweating, impaired thermoregulation

60
Q

ISOTONIC BENEFITS

A

replenish fluids lost by sweating, fast acting carbs

61
Q

ISOTONIC DRAWBACKS

A

absorbed slower than hypotonic drinks

62
Q

HYPERTONIC BENEFITS

A

replenish glycogen post exercise

63
Q

HYPERTONIC DRAWBACKS

A

not suitable during event due to long digestion

64
Q

HYPOTONIC BENEFITS

A

absorbed quickly, hydration without carb boost

65
Q

HYPOTONIC DRAWBACKS

A

lack of carbs not ideal for longer lasting events
