sports nutrition Flashcards
The ______principle assumes that the
body will adapt to the stresses placed on it
overload
_______ exercise includes endurance
exercises such as jogging, swimming or
cycling, or any exercise that increases heart
rate and requires oxygen in metabolism
Aerobic
The _____________system includes the circulatory and respiratory systems,
delivering oxygen and nutrients to the cells
cardiorespiratory
Regular aerobic exercise strengthens the heart muscle, increases _____________and decreases the _________
stroke volume and resting heart rate
The resting heart rate can be measured by…….
counting the number of pulses per minute while at rest
Aerobic capacity is the body’s maximum
ability to generate ______by aerobic
metabolism during exercise
□ Also called ________
ATP and VO2 max
When muscles are not used, they ________,
becoming smaller and weaker
atrophy
Stress or overload during exercise causes
muscles to adapt by increasing in size and
strength
□ This is called __________
hypertrophy
_____minutes per day of developmentally
appropriate activities
60
______ metabolism—metabolism in the
presence of oxygen
□ Glucose, fatty acids and amino acids are completely
broken down to form CO2 and H20 and to produce
ATP
Aerobic
_______ metabolism—metabolism in the
absence of oxygen
□ Each glucose molecule produces two molecules of
ATP
□ Glucose is metabolized in this way when oxygen
cannot be supplied quickly enough to the tissues to
support aerobic metabolism
Anaerobic
At rest in a temperate climate, an adult loses
about ____cups of water per day through
evaporation from the skin and lungs
4 ½
what does dehydration do to the body?
Reduces the body’s ability to deliver
oxygen and nutrients to muscles
