Q

why does casein stimulate less muscle growth than whey?

A

it contains less leucine and is insoluble in acid, forming clots in the stomach acid, thereby leading to slower digestion and absorption

A

3 to 4 mg

31
Q

caffeine anhydrous

A

35
Q

P-synephrine

A

-the active ingredient extracted from bitter Seville orange

-not reccomended

36
Q

Capsaicin

A

-one of five naturally present capsaicinoids in red chili peppers
- a natural weight control due to its ability to stimulate thermogenesis, increase body temperature, and decrease food intake

A

2 to 4 mg

it blocks adenosine receptors

55
Q

Beta alanine

A

-a nonessential amino acid naturally present in animal meats and produced in the liver. -combines with the amino acid histidine to form carnosine
- It is a compound in skeletal muscle that reduces fatigue during high-intensity exercise by buffering the drop in pH due to hydrogen ions that are produced when glycogen is broken down to lactic acid

56
Q

paresthesia

A

skin tingling

57
Q

typical use of beta alanine supplement

A

typical use includes a 2- to 4-week loading phase using 4 to 6 grams daily in divided doses

58
Q

Sodium bicarbonate

A

-baking soda
-aids in buffering the acidity in the blood due to the production of hydrogen ions during sustained strenuous exercise, thereby, potentially reducing fatigue and enhancing performance during short-term and intermittent strenuous exercise

59
Q

typical use of sodium bicarbonate

A

Typical use includes single doses of 0.2 to 0.4 gram/kilogram body weight taken 1 to 2.5 hours before exercise or split doses over 3 hours

60
Q

What physiological effect is seen in the body after supplementing with beta alanine?

A

Increased carnosine in skeletal muscle

61
Q

How does sodium bicarbonate supplementation enhance athletic performance?

A

Lowers blood acidity during intense activity lasting 1 to 10 minutes

62
Q

For what type of activities would beta alanine be beneficial?

A

High-intensity exercise lasting 30 seconds to 10 minutes

63
Q

Which of the following is the recommended daily protein amount to help most exercisers build and maintain muscle tissue?
