Q

Name 3 physiological aids

A
  • Blood doping
  • Hypoxic training
  • cooling aids
17
Q

Describe blood doping
use these in your answer:
- type of performer
- legal status
- description
- advantages and disadvantages

A
  • endurance performer (cyclist)
  • illegal
  • boosts total volume of red blood cells which improves the performers ability to deliver oxygen to the muscles
  • take out freeze the blood
  • transfuse it back into body

+increased total number of RBC contain haemoglobin
+increased aerobic capacity
+ability of vascular system to transport O2 to the muscles is increased

  • risk of infection
  • thickening of the blood
18
Q

Describe Intermittent Hypoxic training
use these in your answer:
- type of performer
- legal status
- description
- advantages and disadvantages

A
  • aerobic performers (football)
  • legal
  • naturally increases levels of EPO
  • Hypoxic conditions refer to an environment where there is low pp of O2
  • stimulates RBC production, increasing haemoglobin volume, O2 carrying ability and aerobic energy production

+increased total volume of RBC which contains Haemoglobin
+Delayed OBLA
+increased mitochondrial density and buffering capacity

  • Benefits are quickly lost
  • hard tot train at usual intensity
  • dehydration
19
Q

Describe cooling aids
use these in your answer:
- type of performer
- legal status
- description
- advantages and disadvantages

A
  • aerobic (football player)
  • legal
  • reduces swelling and pain
  • reduces core temp
  • reduces cardiovascular drift

+ help removal of waste products

  • ice burns and pains
  • dangerous for elderly people with heart conditions
20
Q

Name Two examples of nutritional aids

A
  • Supliments
  • glycogen loading
21
Q

What a performer do in order to prep pre-competition

A
  • carb rich meal 3-4 hours before
  • simple carbs 1-2 hours before
22
Q

Describe food/fluid intake during events

A
  • hypertonic and hypotonic drinks can be consumed during exercise
  • simple carbs (jelly babies) can also be taken
22
Q

Describe what a performer would do post competition

A
  • eat within 30 mins
  • 3x every 2 hours after that
  • first two hours after competition is the best time for carb reloading and replenishment of glycogen stores
22
Q

Describe Glycogen Loading
use these in your answer:
- type of performer
- legal status
- description
- advantages and disadvantages

A
  • aerobic performers (marathon runner)
  • legal
  • increased glycogen levels
  • delays fatigue

1) 7 DAYS BEFORE: low carb, continue exercise (high protein)
2) 3 Days before: stop high intensity training
3) 3-4 days before: reduce training and eat a high carb diet (super compensation)
4) Night before have a carb rich meal and low protein (pasta party)

+delays fatigue
+increased glycogen stores

  • increased risk of injury
  • reduces self confidence and effects mental prep
  • high irritability
  • poor recovery in first 3 days
23

Describe creatine (suppliments)
use these in your answer:
- type of performer
- legal status
- description

A
  • anaerobic (100m runner)
  • legal
  • creatine is stored as phosphocreatine in the muscles
  • helps with the ATP-PC system for energy production

+ increased duration of maximal activity
+ increased maximal explosive strength

  • increased water retention and weight gain
  • muscle cramps
  • long term side affects unknown
24
Q
