Intro Flashcards
What is the validity vs precision?
Validity = accuracy. correlation, prediction.
Precision = reliablility. pearsons r
What is important in sports and nutrition research to increase validity and precision?
- dietary standardization
- exercise standardization
Sports athletes usually have sufficient intake of micronutrients such as calcium, as they ..
increase their energy intake with increasing energy needs.
(Sport) Supplements, a broad definition?
= A food, food component, nutrient, or non-food compound that is purposefully ingested in addition to the habitually consumed diet with the aim of achieving a specific health and/or performance benefit
“Functional foods, foods enriched with additional nutrients or components outside typical nutrient composistion” belongs to
Sport nutrition products
“Single nutrients and other components of foods or herbal products provided in isolated or concentrated forms” belongs to
dietary/ergogenic supplements
“formulated foods and sport foods providing energy and nutrients in a more convenient form or for targeted use” belongs to
Sport nutrition products
“Muti-ingredient products containing various combinations of those products described above that target similar outcomes” belongs to..
dietary/ergogenic supplements
What is a simplistic scheme of human energy metabolism?
contraction/Ca-pump/Na-k pump -> ADP -> mito fuel oxidation -> ATP -> contraction/Ca…
What are the three major energy systems in humans?
- High energy phosphate system (PCr)
- Anaerobic metabolism
- Oxidative metabolism
PCr: characteristics?
can donate phosphate to ADP to resynthesize ATP
* Limited amount of PCr in our bodies, can support exercise up to a few seconds. Highest rate
* Can increase size of this compartment with nutrition
Oxidative metabolism is the …. system. What happens, roughly?
Largest
Ch, fat, amino acids, alcohol: broken down in TCA cycle, then ox phos to regenerate ATP.
–> requires oxygen, slow rate, endless energy
Anaerobic metabolsim: characteristics?
can very quickly resynthesize ATP, but: acidification. Intermediary rate
Learn the schemes on page 4 (ox metabolism + ATP resyhnthese snelhied)

How long can PCr, oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis last and when do they peak?
PCr: first 20 sec or so, high peak
glycolysis: few minutes, medium peak
Oxidative phosphorylation: can go on very long, no real ‘peak’, but declines after 90 min
