EXAM 4 Flashcards
Prior to 1990, supplements consisted of…
Vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients
In 1990 ___ and ___ were added to the definition of supplements
Herbs and Botanicals
In 1994, the passage of dietary supplement health and education act:
Expanded the formal definition of a supplement, modified the FDAs role in supplement regulation
FDA
Regulates dietary supplements different that conventional food and drug
Monitoring accuracy of advertising and labeling of supplements is responsibility of:
The federal trade commission
Who takes supplements?
50% of United States population have taken at least one supplement in previous month
-Vitamins and minerals are most common type used`
Supplements use most prevalent in:
-Women
-Adults 60 and older
-Caucasians
-Those with higher education level
-Athletes
-College students
Potential downsides to taking a supplement:
Quality may be poor
To ensure quality look for approval seals from:
-US Pharmacopeia
-Consumerlab.com
-NSF international
Dietary supplements that may have beneficial effects:
-Omega 3 fatty acids and fish oil
-Glucosamine Chondroitin
-Protein and amino acid supplements
Supplements for performance:
Creatine and Caffeine
Benefits of Exercise
-Helps reduce risk of chronic disease
Increased HDL, decreased RHR, decreased bp
-Helps with stress management, quality of sleep, weight management, maintenance of muscle mass
Exercise assists with weight management by:
Regulating hunger
Muscle mass maintenance requires more calories than fat
Components of fitness:
-Cardiovascular endurance
-Muscle strength
-muscular endurance
-flexibility
Calculating heart rate range***
Moderate intensity
(220- age ) x 0.55 and (220- age) x 0.7
High Intensity
(220-age)x 0.7 and (220 - age) x0.85
Benefits of strength training
Build muscle mass
Control weight
Build and maintain bone mass
Prevent injury
Improving daily function
Prevent chronic disease
Stretching
prevent: soreness, injury
three systems or pathways for converting carbohydrates fats and proteins into useful energy:
1.)The immediate energy system
2.)Anaerobic metabolism
3.)Aerobic metabolism
At any given time, your cells always have roughly _____ times the amount of oxygen that they need
4
ATP Creatine phosphate (ATP-CP) system
-Uses ATP stored in muscle
-Used during first 10 seconds of exercise
-Anaerobic
Used during the first 10 seconds of exercise
Glycolysis: Anaerobic Metabolism
-Used during first 2-3 minutes of activity
-Used during first 2-3 minutes of activity***
The Cori Cycle
Aerobic Metabolism
-Two minutes to several hours
- Carbohydrate, fat, and amino acids are continuously oxidized to provide atp
During rest, body delivers most ATP from oxidation of:
fatty acids and glucose
During Physical activity:
body adjusts fuel mixture: muscles always use a combination of fuel sources.
Athletes and those who exercise regularly should:
Obtain additional calories from nutrient dense foods
(Whole grains, dairy, lean protein, fruits and vegetables, unsaturated fats)
Eat small meals/snacks every 3-4 hours to maintain energy levels
As exercise begins, primary fuel sources is carbs from:
Muscle Glycogen
-At 60-90 minutes, low glycogen stores result in:
Hitting the wall
Feel tired/weak
Performance drops
How can you avoid “hitting the wall”
Consume high carbohydrate foods or beverages before and during prolonged exercise
Carbohydrate containing sports drinks can improve performance
Low to moderate intensity cardiorespiratory activity
> hr. In duration
4-5 g of carbs per kg body weight
Endurance activities for higher intensity
-7-8 g of carbs per kg body weight
High intensity daily training
-8-10g of carbs per kg body weight
______ is used as primary fuel source at rest during low intensity aerobic activities
fat
AMDR for athletes
20-35% of total calories
Female athlete triad***
Top of triangle: Anorexia, bulimia, disordered eating
Bottom left triangle: Delayed menarche, absence of menstrual cycle
Amenorrhea
Bottom right of triangle: increased risk of stress fractures, lower bone density
Osteoporosis
Protein has 2 important functions in exercise
-Used in muscle recovery
-Forms enzymes that regulate energy metabolism
Protein and amino acids are NOT used for energy production, except during:
Starvation
Limited carb supplies
Protein provides _______ of energy needs
5-10%
Protein Requirement
AMDR: 15-20% of total calories
Protein Recommendations
RDA for adults 0.8 g/kg/day
Recommendation for power athletes: 1.2-1.7g/kg/day
Recommendation for endurance athletes: 1.2-1.4g/kg/day
Consume a fairly high glycemic index carbohydrate within 15-20 minutes of finishing
-4g of carbohydrate /kg BW
-0.5g of protein/kg body weight
Monitoring hydration status
Consume 1 L of water per 1-2 pounds of weight loss.
