Q

What is the ratio of carbs to protein?

A

4g carbs to 1g Protein

Carbs replenish glycogen stores and protein further increases that

17
Q

What happens to the body with dehydration?

A
  1. Decrease blood flow to skin causing decrease ability to sweat
  2. Increase core body temp and heart rate
  3. Speeds up fatigue
  4. Higher rate of perceived exertion
  5. Glycogen used more rapidly
18
Q

What are 2 factors that affect hydration?

A
  1. Thirst- not a good indicator of hydration status

2. gastric emptying decreases with exercise causing decreased fluid absorption

19
Q

How to avoid dehydration?

A
  1. Start workout fully hydrated
  2. Stay hydrated during exercise with 4-8oz every 15-20 min
  3. Drink 16 oz water for every pound lost during exercise
20
Q

Why are sports drinks a good rehydrater?

A

Contain electrolytes and carbs

21
Q

When should sports drinks be used?

A
  1. Exercise lasting longer than one hour
  2. Exercise in hot and humid conditions
  3. Post-exercise recovery fluid
22
Q

What are ergogenic aids?

A

Training techniques that improve exercise performance capacity and training adaptations
-sports drinks, gels, protein powder

23
Q

What does creatine do for athletes?

A

Improves performance during repeated intervals of high-intensity, short-duration exercise and to increase muscle mass

24
Q

What does beta-alanine do for athletes?

A

Enhance high-intensity exercise, strength training, and weight lifting

25
Q

What are the findings about beta-alanine with exercise?

A
  1. Increases buffering capacity of lactic acid
  2. May improve performance for high-intensity exercise
  3. May delay onset of neuromuscular fatigue
  4. Enhance anaerobic threshold and time to exhaustion
26
Q

Why do athletes take arginne alpha ketoglutarate (AAKG)?

A
  1. Enhance muscle size and strength

2. Promotes vasodilation to increase blood flow and oxygen transport to muscles

27
Q

What does B-Hydroxy B-Methylbutyrate (HMB) do for athletes?

A
  • Increases muscle mass with strength training
  • It’s an essential amino acid
  • not well researched
28
Q

What does caffeine do for the body?

A
  • CNS stimulant

- can be potentially dangerous if used in excess or combination with stimulants

29
Q

What does beetroot juice do for the body?

A
  • decreases blood pressure

- reduces amount of oxygen needed during exercise

30
Q

How does beetroot juice work?
