Test 3 High Yield Flashcards
what are the three energy systems of the body?
energy reservoir
anaerobic metabolism
aerobic metabolism
this energy system supplies energy, drives short bursts of intense physical activity for up to 20 seconds like heaving heavy weight and requires no oxygen input?
energy reservoir energy system
this energy system draws heavily on glucose and or glycogen stores
for muscles performing high intensity work
anaerobic energy system
this energy system depends more heavily on fatty acids for fuel sparing glucose and conserving glycogen
fuels moderate intensity activity over a long duration
aerobic energy system
this is a byproduct of anaerobic energy production?
lactate
what are the three factors that affect glucose use during physical activity?
carb intake
intensity and duration of the activity
degree of training
recommended carb intake for casual exercisers? low intensity
3-5 g/kg/day
recommended carb intake for most athletes? moderate intensity
5-7 g/kg/day
recommended carb intake for endurance athletes? moderate to high intensity 1-3 hr/day
6-10 g/kg/day
recommended carb intake for ultra endurance athletes? moderate to high intensity, 4-5 hr/day
8-12 g/kg/day
recommended intake of fat for endurance athletes?
20-35% of calories
protein recommendation for endurance athletes?
1.2-1.4 g/kg/day
DRI recommend: 0.8
power athletes: 1.2-1.7
how to avoid heat stroke?
drink fluids before and during activity
rest in the shade
wear lightweight clothing for sweat to evaporate
common mineral deficiency in athletes? this type of condition due to low blood iron is seen among athletes?
endurance activities increase the release of this hormone?
iron; sports anemia; hepcidin - the body’s iron lowering hormone
this vitamin maintains healthy skin, participates in cellular replication, immune function, antibody production and anti inflammatory response?
not exhaustive- immune function
vitamin A
