15
Q

True or false?
Reducing fat intake with conservative caloric restriction is the best fundamental dietary weight loss method for athletes as optimal glycogen storage and recovery can be maintained

A

True

16
Q

List 4 reasons why simply reducing fat intake can be effective for reducing energy intake and promoting weight loss

A

Fat energy is dense, high-fat foods generally taste good which promotes increased food intake, that can be less satiating then protein and most CHO’s, fat is stored efficiently and requires little energy for digestion, and fat intake does not immediately increase that oxidation

17
Q

Very low calorie diets, food combining diet, and low CHO diets may be detrimental to athletic performance due to ______ depletion and impaired ______

A

Glycogen depletion, exercise capacity

18
Q

List 3 common methods that weight category athletes employed to rapidly lose weight

A

Dehydration by prolonged exercise, exercising in hot environments while wearing plastic or rubber garments, use of sauna, hot rooms, or steam rooms, use of diuretics, stimulants, and laxatives

19
Q

True or false?
Manipulating the energy density of meals can play a role in weight maintenance as research clearly shows that people tend to eat a lower total quantity of food by weight when the fat content is relatively high

A

False

20
Q

Describe two reasons why females have a slightly greater resistance to weight loss and or fat loss when compared to males

A

Women store more fat in the gluteal femoral region which is less metabolically active than upper body or abdominal adipose tissue.
Postprandial fat storage may be higher in subcutaneous adipose tissue in women

21
Q

Describe 4 common weight loss mistakes among athletes

A

Trying to lose weight to rapidly, trying to lose weight during season, skipping breakfast or lunch, taking into little CHO

22
Q

To “enter the zone” when on the zone diet, CHO intake should consist of ______ of daily energy, that should consist of _____ of daily energy and protein should consist of _____ daily energy

A

40%, 30%, 30%

23
Q

List 4 negative physiological/psychological effects associated with extremely rapid weight loss

A

Significant loss of body water, reduction in glycogen content, loss of lean body mass, reduction in plasma volume, reduction in central blood volume, reduction in blood flow in active tissues, increased core temperature, increased resting heart rate, altered hormone status, impedance of normal growth and development, impaired psychological state, potential for impaired Academic performance, impaired immune function

24
Q

When attempting to gain weight, and athlete should try to gain between _____lbs. A week with the first majority of additional energy into a consuming from _____ based food sources

A

0.4-2.0, CHO
