Test Flashcards
3 potential causes for athletic amenorrhea
amount of training; psychological stress; low energy availability
Blood glucose and diabetes
decrease insulin for exercises that will utilize more glucose so you prevent hypoglycemia
Hyponatremia
you put yourself at risk for it when you only drink water and don’t consume adequate electrolytes
BMI increasing in 20-50 year old girls
is likely due to weight gain
Sweat
the physiological parameter most influenced by genetics
The topic not covered by the grad students
blood glucose
When you exercise at steady state in a hot room
know that as temperature increases the body relies more on evaporative cooling for heat loss
When comparing two individuals on a lactate vs speed chart, the person who will utilize fats more is the one who
is below lactate threshold for the longest time
-“In the trained state, one can exercise at a higher percentage of ones VO2 max before lactate begins to accumulate in the blood”
Asthma
Beta 2 agonists are used as they cause relaxation of the smooth muscle and vasodilation to increase airway size
The classical method
muscle glycogen supercompensation is after you deplete glycogen stores, go on a high fat/protein diet for three days while training to lower stores further then do a 90% CHO diet with 3 days of inactivity
The modified plan for muscle glycogen supercompensation
to taper workouts 90-40 min over several days while eating 50% CHO diet; then two days of 20 minute workouts while eating 70 % CHO diet; off day prior to competition eat 70% CHO diet
10% rule: traditional periodized training program; training continuum
acute overload and some overreaching while avoiding overtraining
Ventilation is lower during sub maximal exercise following training but..
maximal pulmonary ventilation is substantially increased
Adults are more likely to sweat more than children
Because the bigger the person the higher the sweat rate
Carbon monoxide content
A small amount of CO in the body is safe to use in a research setting
