Certain fatty acids are vital for your overall health

23
Q

what are the tow types of fats?

A

Saturated
and Unsaturated

24
Q

saturated fats

A

Typically solid at room temperature.
Unhealthy if over consumed - you should limit how much you eat.

Examples = cakes, biscuits, fatty meat

25
Q

unsaturated fats

A

Healthier than saturated fats - help reduce risk of heart disease

Examples = Olive oil, avocados, oily fish and nuts

26
Q

protein

A

They contain amino acids which are the building blocks for human cells.
Therefore, they are important to help build muscles and to repair damaged tissue.
They also contribute to a healthy immune system

27
Q

what are the two types of protein

A

Animal Protein
and
Plant or vegetable protein

28
Q

Animal Protein

A

Animal protein is found in meat, poultry, fish and dairy products such as milk, cheese and yoghurt. Eggs are also a good source of protein

29
Q

Plant or vegetable protein

A

Plant or vegetable protein is found in pulses (lentils, peas and beans). Nuts, bread, potatoes, cereal and rice. Which can also be a source of carbohydrate

30
Q

The ideal time for power athletes to have protein is immediately after exercise. This is because…

A

Exercise breaks down & tears muscles
Protein stimulates the muscle repair and growth
Immediate protein then maximises the muscle regrowth where the tears have formed in training.
Over time, muscle hypertrophy takes places

31
Q

Power athletes require more protein. They should consume xg of protein per kg of body weight.

A

Power athletes require more protein. They should consume 1.2 - 1.7g of protein per kg of body weight.

32
Q

Endurance athletes still require protein, but should only consume xg of protein per kg of body weight.

A

Endurance athletes still require protein, but should only consume 1.2 g of protein per kg of body weight.

33
Q

Carbohydrate loading

A

a strategy endurance athletes use to maximise the stores of glycogen (or energy) before competition

34
Q

carbohydrate loading - Weeks before the race…

A

Eating more protein will help your muscles repair after high-intensity training sessions

35
Q

carbohydrate loading - Days before the race…

A

Reducing activity levels and eating high levels of carbohydrates will help you to pack in and store as much carbohydrate as possible.
This will increase the glycogen stores in your muscles and boost performance

36
Q

carbohydrate loading - After the race….

A

It is also important to take on fuel in the first 2 hours after a race, event, or training session.
This will help you restock on carbohydrates used up, during the activity
Isotonic drinks have a similar carbohydrate electrolyte concentration to the body’s own fluids and can be used in the recovery process to boost energy intake

37
Q

A balanced supply of Vitamins is good for ….

A

Blood clotting
Good Vision
Good skin
Red blood cell formation
healing
Healthy bones and teeth

38
Q

Vitamins

A

Ensure vital chemical reactions in the body

Ensure essential bodily functions take place e.g blood production, gaseous exchange & hormone regulation.

39
Q

what are the two types of vitamins

A

Fat Soluble
and
Water soluble

40
Q

Fat Soluble vitamins

A

Vitamin A - found in milk, cheese, egg - necessary for vision
Vitamin D - found in milk, fish, liver and eggs - needed for healthy bones
Vitamin E - found in vegetable oil, wholemeal - needed for growth and development

41
Q

Water soluble vitamins

A

Vitamin C - found in fruit and vegetables - helps healing, fights infections
The 6 Vitamin B’s - found in wholegrans, nuts and meat - needed to release carbohydrates to muscles
Biotin & Folic Acid

42
Q

Importance of vitamins for sports performer:

A

Vitamin D is important for healthy bones and all performers need strong healthy bones.

43
Q

45
Q

Iron (mineral)

A

Iron is found in many foods, including meat. It is linked with haemoglobin, the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and the formation of the red blood cells. Without it, the blood would not be able to carry oxygen around the body - so Iron is important to all athletes

46
Q

Sodium (mineral)

A

Which is needed for maintaining blood pressure and a balance of the body fluid content
