Exam 1 Week 2 Flashcards
Fats are primary used for intensity at… VO2max
10-35%
CHO are primarily used at intestines of … VO2max
50+%
Amino acids accounts for …. of total energy
2-5%
when might you use amino acids as a fuel source and why
when you are doing an ultra endurance event. you have already used the CHO and the fats.
what are the energy demands for the following activities
-recreational
-runners/cyclists
ultra endurance
- 500kcal
- 2000kcal
- 5000-10000kcal
why is substrate fatigue an issue
leads to the inability to produce ATP from any source, and can be presented with the proper diet
what is the AMDR for fats, of total energy intake
20-35%
How many fats should endurance athletes consume per body weight
1-2g/kg BW (higher range for longer duration activities)
TF: low fat diets can lead to less then optimal training adaptations was well as performance
true
what is the primary function of protein?
tissue repair and regeneration
how much protein should an endurance athlete consume per body weight
1.2-2g/kg BW (changes in range based on activity level)
what is CHO loading
enhancing glycogen stores in the muscle before an event, best when starting 24 hours before event to right unto 90 minutes.
with CHO loading, how much can your performance improve
2-3%
what are some precautions of CHO loading
want to realize that for every ram of CHO, it retains 3-4 g of water, so you feel bloated and weighted down. and you want to make sure you eat low fiber, low residue foods too.
why do you want to eat the day of the event
avoid hunger during event, provide fuel, hydrate, top off the glycogen stores, and minimize GI distress (so each low fiber and low residue foods)
eating during the event perks
preventing substrate fatigue
when eating during an event, how much do you want to consume
30-90g per hour, depending on activity, not on body weight
what is the limiting factor in availability of the CHO
the rate of absorption across the intestinal wall
which is faster to absorb, glucose or fructose
glucose (60g per hour) and fructose is only (30g per hour)
how long do you need to replenish glycogen stores
20-24 hours, because it restores at a rate of 5-7% per hour
what are the two stages of muscle glycogen synthesis
insulin independent, which is 30-60 minutes after the activity and then insulin dependent which is 1-2 to 48 hours after activity
what is the recommended intake of CHO after an event
1-1.5 g /kg BW (1.2 is optimal)
this is repeated every 15-20 minutes for 4-6 hours, or until your goals is achieved
what is the RDA for resistance training athletes of CHO and PRO
CHO 5-6 g/kg BW
PRO 1.4-1.7 g/kg BW
what is the purpose for a pre exercise meal consumed within an hour of a resistance event?
hydration, top off glycogen stores, decrease hunger and balance PRO consumption for those who have a high daily intake
What are the effects of hypo hydration
increases cortisol, the stress hormone which will decrease muscle growth, increases NE, declines in strength (2%), power (3%) and muscle endurance (10%), restlessness and anxiety. also, delayed recovery
what are the primary energy substrates used during resistance training
muscle glycogen and blood glucose
TF: consuming CHO immediately before RT can help decrease muscle fatigue
TRUE
TF: time to exhaust and force output do not improve when consuming CHO immediately before RT
false, they do improve
why should we eat PRO before RT
to promote protein synthesis, same applies to eating after the event too
what substrate contributes to a significant amount of energy during RT
glycogen
how much muscle glycogen stores can be depleted with one set of curls versus 3 sets
13% and 45%
why would we eat CHO after a RT
replenish glycogen stores, recovery and decrease muscle breakdown
during the first ___ minutes after the training program, muscles will rapidly absorb CHO resulting in the rapid re-synthesis of glycogen
45 minutes
what must an athlete do if they have a second training event occurring later in the day
consume CHO quickly
what happens to muscle protein synthesis during RT? why is it important to consume PRO before during and after?
it is suppressed, and the muscles are in a catabolic state. important to enhance muscle PRO synthesis
what is the range of muscle PRO breakdown?
31-51%
what types of PRO do you want to consume after the RT. examples?
high in leucine (re-synthesis in muscles) digested quickly must have 9 EAA -whey is a fast PRO -soy is moderate -Casein is slow -Milk is more rapid then soy
TF: RT can increase muscle sensitivity to AA for up to 24 hours after activity
false, 48
younger adults should eat… of PRO per meal
.25-.3g/kg BW or 30 g high PRO with 2-3 g or leucine per meal
older adults should eat… of PRO per meal
30-40g Pro with 3-4 g leucine per meal
who has slower muscle synthesis adults or children
adults, this is why they must consume more PRO
what is the anabolic window for protein consumption in a trained athlete, untrained and non-athlete
1 hour, 3 hours, and up to 48 hours.
what are the energy substrates used while resting, short exercise and long exercise?
resting, 50% CHO, 50% fat
short: more CHO
Long: CHO and Fat
what is the primary substrate for the muscles and brain
CHO
how is extra glucose stored
glycogen in the liver and muscles
approximately how much CHO is store in the body
2500 kcal
when you have full CHO storage, how much activity can you do
a full day of light activity
approximately how much fat is stored in the body
70000kcal
fat is the energy substrate for
prolong, les intenses exercise
is fat fast or slow ATP production? why is this?
slow. must be broken down into FFA and glycerol
which is used to make ATP, FFA or glycerol
FFA
where is the most CHO stored
muscle glycogen
where is the most fat stored. why is this important
subcutaneous and visceral, this is why fat is a slower store of energy, because we need to pull it out from stores.
what is the energy substrate during starvation
protein
what is it called when protein is converted into glucose
gluconeogenesis
what is it called when protein is converted into FFAs
lipogenesis
