KIN C 23 Flashcards
Ergogenic aids
supplements improve athletic performance
B alanine
-non essential aa
-chicken and turkey
-buffering effect of delaying muscular fatigue
-increases str, pwr, delays fatigue
arginine, ornithine, and lysine
-aa’s increases growth hormone levels; results in increase muscle mass development
aspartic aid
-nonessential aa
-slow muscle glycogen depeletion during endurance efforts
-running
boron
-essential mineral
-bone mineral metabolism
-increase testerone levels
BCAAs
-branched- chain aa’s
-leucine, isoleucine, valine
- doesn’t improve short-term excercise performance
-maintain muscle mass and avoid muscle breakdown
what ergogenic aid will you look for to get lean and build muscle at the same time, while being in a calorie deficit?
BCAAs
reduce your chances of losing muscle, even when eating a calorie deficit
Anti-catabolic products
slow down the breakdown of muscle
caffiene
-bitter white alkaloid
-lipolysis
-CNS
-performance stimulant
carnitine
-substance that helps the body turn fat into energy. Your body makes it in the liver and kidneys and stores it in the skeletal muscles, heart,
–ncrease fat utilization
-decreases glycogen loss bc uses fat instead
-extends performance in sports
-enhances muscular appearance
fbodyweight competitioin show off their body
chromium
-increase muscle mass and decrease body fat.
-metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins mainly by increasing the efficiency of insulin
-insulin causes cells to reuptake glucose, more ATP available
-one dose immediately before workouts, can keep cortisol levels lower following workouts, which means testosterone can do a better job of encouraging muscle growth.
chromium
-mineral that can improve insulin sensitivity and enhance protein, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism.
–increases metabolic waste
-weight loss
-enhances insulin effects on muscle tissue
-(insulin causes cells to reuptake glucose, more ATP avaliable, more energy to do workout)
Coenzyme Q10
-powerful antioxdiant
that neutralizes free radical stress
- helps convert food into energy
-increases aerobic energy metabolism
-normal heart function
-improve egg and embryo quality a
colostrum
-colostrum cold milk
-highest concentration 2-3 days after birth
-growth factors, antibodies,proteins
-better than whey proten
creatine
-natural ergogenic aid
-made by liver, pancreas, kidneys
- composed of aa’s from GLYCINE, ARGININE, METHONINE
aabout 60-90 mins creatine enters small int then reasorb into blood
4 funcs of creatine
- atp charger PCr
- faster transfer of ATP to muscle fibers
- -bufferer to acidosis bc its a weak base
- stimulates glycogenolysis during excercise
how beneficial is Creatine?
2/3 beneficial
Creatine is 2/3 beneficial to whats sports?
-short repeated bursts of high pwr
-dynamic str and pwr
-increase body weight and LBM
-increase sprint performance
