week 7 - nutrition and personal training Flashcards
scope of practice
avoid meal or diet plans/prescriptions, teach fundamentals of nutrition, assistance with weight management programs, recognize patterns of disordered eating, make referrals when needed
pro
proteins - amino acids –> nitrogen pool –> tissue protein –> NH3 –> urea cycle –> urea
CHO
carbohydrates = glucose, fructose, galactose
- glycogen –> glucose 6 phosphate - lactic acid - pyruvate acid - acetyl coil
- citric acid cycle –> electron transport chain
FATS
fats and lipids - fatty acid and glycerol
–> lipogenesis – fatty acid spiral

carbohydrate function
provides energy - 4 kcal/g, fat oxidation and energy storage
forms of carbs
simple, complex, glycogen, fiber
carbohydrate consumption
- 45-65% total daily calories
- 3-12 g/kg body weight
dependent on activity and exercise level, gender and environmental conditions
protein
amino acids connected together through peptide bonds
- essential v. non-essential
- complete v. incomplete
protein functions
- synthesizes and repairs cells and tissues
- supports structures (collagen, elastin, muscle)
- source of energy 4kcal/g
protein consumption
nonathlete adult = 0.8 g/kg bnody weight
- 10-35% daily total kcal
what about protein and exercise?
fats functions
energy source - 9 kcal/g
- insulation, satiety control, flavor, carries essential nutrients
- fat soluble vitamins
fat classifcations and structures
- triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides
- fatty acids
- short v. medium v. long
- unsaturated fats
- mono v. poly
- saturated fats
- low density lipoprotein
- high density lipoprotein
fat consumption
- 20-35% of total daily kcal
water-soluble vitamins
thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, patothenic acid, pyridoxine, biotin, folate, cobalin, ascorbic acid
fat-soluble vitamins
A, D, E, and K
minerals functions
water balance, nerve impulse stimulation, acid/base balance, energy reactions
minerals
calcium, phosphorous, iron, zinc, magnesium
functions of H2O
carriers nutrients to cells, carries waste away from cells, serves as body’s lubricant, helps maintain body temp.
ergogenic aids
substances or devices that enhance energy production, use or recovery and provide athletes with a competitive advantage.
dietary supplements
concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals, and energy substrates
use: intervene in dietary deficiency
