Q

carbohydrate during endurance exercise

A

Blood Glucose Maintenance: Consuming carbohydrates during endurance activities helps maintain blood glucose levels, delaying the onset of fatigue.
Sparing Glycogen: By providing an external source of glucose, carbohydrate intake can spare muscle glycogen, preserving it for later stages of exercise.

Q

carbs during events to prevent hyperglycemia

A

Prolonged exercise can lead to a depletion of glycogen stores and a drop in blood sugar levels, which can result in hypoglycemia. Carbohydrate intake helps prevent this drop and its associated negative effects on performance and well-being.

Main goal: Recovery and replace depleted glycogen stores
▪Some athletes carboloading between sessions to replenish
glycogen

Q

discuss the 4 factors: 1:

A

As soon as possible
After 2 hours, muscle glycogen 45% lower if one
ingested same quantity of carbohydrate
immediately after exercise

Q
  1. rate of ingestion
A

In general, appears higher glycogen synthesis rate when
higher rate of carbohydrate ingestion up to intakes of
approx. 1.4 g/minute

Q
  1. type of carbohydrate
A

Fructose - slower rates of glycogen synthesis vs
sucrose or glucose
GI of the meal- in first six hours, low-GI foods lead to
lower levels of glycogen synthesis

Q
  1. protein and carbohydrate
A

It has been found previously that addition of protein can (at
0.8g/kg/hr) carbohydrate concentrations) increase rate
of glycogen resynthesis vs CHO alone BUT at higher
(1.2g/kg/hr) carbohydrate concentrations, no greater
effect vs CHO alone.

Q

examples of post exercise snacks

A

Post event recovery snacks, fluids (depending on hydration and electrolyte status)
* Examples: energy bars, gels, roll with peanut butter, banana & honey

Q

Train low concept

A

athlete intentionally reduces carbohydrate availability during certain training sessions, typically by performing workouts with low muscle glycogen levels. This approach is used with the goal of promoting specific physiological adaptations that can enhance an athlete’s performance. There are a few variations of the “train low” concept, and they involve manipulating carbohydrate intake in different ways, Increase lipid oxidation rates

Q

to raise blood gluocse levels = low levels

A

+ glycogenolysis
+ gluconeogenesis

17
Q

when blood glucose levels are high

A

glycogenesis

18
Q

why do we need carbohydrates

A

to avoid glycogen depletion,fatigue,low glucose, muscle weakness
