Answer 11

True

Question 12

Answer 12

Memory, social situations, time of day, stress, taste or smell of food, nutrient content in the meal, exercise or physical activity

Question 13

_______ Exercise increases the duration of the time that EPOC contributes to elevate post exercise energy expenditure

Answer 13

Longer duration, and or high-intensity

Question 14

Describe 2 ways which weight loss can be detrimental to athletic performance

Answer 14

It is commonly accomplished by a reduction in muscle mass and glycogen stores.
It can promote chronic fatigue and increased risk of injuries

Question 15

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

Answer 15

True

Question 16

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

Answer 16

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

Question 17

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

Answer 17

Glycogen depletion, exercise capacity

Question 18

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

Answer 18

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

Question 19

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

Answer 19

False

Question 20

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

Answer 20

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

Question 21

Describe 4 common weight loss mistakes among athletes

Answer 21

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

Answer 22

40%, 30%, 30%

Question 23

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

Answer 23

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
