Q

Energy use in 100m vs 800m vs marathon

A

PCR and ATP - Substrate level phosphorylation in 100m - glycogen store manipulation doesn’t benefit.

Glycolytic in 800m (although always cross over) - little aerobic - turned into lactate

Oxidative phosphorylation in marathon - most from carbs (85% of VO2 max for 2 hrs)

Q

Describe the 3 way interaction in energy balance. Increase in intake/ stores effect?

A

Energy intake
Energy stores
Energy expenditure
3 way interaction - increase or decrease in one impacts the other factors

Increase intake = increase stores. Increase energy intake= increase in metabolism (dietary induced thermogenesis) and can increase exercise and other components of energy expenditure. E.g. Studies show no breakfast = less PA in morning. Gives flexibility, not all excess will be adipose.
Adipose tissues releases leptin which changes appetite and potentially intake Stores also affect energy expenditure e.g. High glycogen stores and running further.

Q

Give some factors that effect energy intake

A

Loads of factors that affect intake- broadly envionment and lifestyle influencing cognition, reward, choice, mood, stress. Individual genetics and early life also affect at all stages.
Total energy intake
Composition of diet
Satiety issues
Amount & type of fibre
Type of foods (energy density)
Environmental/ sociological reasons e.g. Fitting in with a mate in the bar
Also normally finish a ‘mars bar’ regardless of size so mars determines intake.
Current weight and body comp
Hormonal control of appetite, fat deposition
Intake then influences energy expenditure metabolically LOOK: (nutrient sensing, muscle, liver, fat, gut) and impacts our future actions about energy intake and expenditure.

Q

How do TEE, DIT and RMR vary between sedentary adn very active (as a %)

A

Active person - rest day - proportion of RMR varies however RMR stays the same.

DIT is typically 10% of intake regardless of intake. TEE gives a challenge to expenditure which fluctuates on daily basis.

Q

Why is a calorie not a calorie?

A

DIT varies with nutritional
Protein 25-30% is used to process protein
Carbs 6-8%
Fat 2-3%
High protein diet but same calories (less calories)
Due to gluconeogenesis energy (de aminate and then convert to useful carb
Some pass straight to TCA
Straight to Acetyl CoA
Ketosis - some converted to ketones (ketogenic diet)
Interconversion processes cost energy
Contrasts to glucose - glucose ready to use
Fat some processes - e.g. B oxidation.

Q

What is energy balance?

A

Energy balance = dietry intake - total energy expenditure.

	EB amount of dietary energy added or lost from energy stores after all the body's physiological systems have done all their work for the entire dat
	EB is an output from the body's physiological systems Negative = weight loss e.g. negative 2000

Q

What is energy availability? Significance?

A

EA = Dietary intake - Exercise energy expenditure
Amount of dietary energy remaining after exercise training for all other metabolic functions
e.g. cellular maintenance and repair, thermoregulation, immunity, growth, reproduction
EA is an imput to the body’s physiological systems
Low energy availability should be avoided because it can impair performance and adaptation to training and may be harmful to brain, reproduction, metabolic and immune function and to bone health.

Q

Relationship between EB and low EA?

A

Total energy expenditure is decreasing due to decreased metabolism - physiological systems are being suppressed e.g. Downregulate protein turnover, bone turnover, reproductive system
Low EA then dampening of physiological systems so becomes higher EB (still negative)

Under voluntary control

EB is an effect of physiological systems, not under voluntary control, Does not indicate energy requirements for Health.

EA is likely to put someone above or below EB. Both need to be considered.

effect of endurance/ Wingate test on appetite hormones and EI? Significance?

A

12 healthy males
3 trials - 60m rest, 60m endurance, 30min rest +5x 30s Wingate tests over 30min
Standard breakfast
Ad-libitum lunch, dinner and evening meals
Appetite hormones - ghrelin and PYY measured
All had similar total kJ (despite higher EE)

	Acetylated ghrelin (hunger hormone) - same in rested 
	Exercise decreases gherelin, decrease flow to GI tract so reduces secretion.
	Opposite increase in PYY (hunger suppressing)
	Decreased appetite in exercise over no exercise.
	However no difference in total intake affect - not convinced of appetite hormone intake.
	Increase during exercise though - inadvertent chronic deficiency.
Some compensation occurs otherwise ppl would waste away but not sure of degree.

Q

Effect of high carb diet on ad-libitum energy intake? Limtations to study?

A

Energy Intake higher in moderate than in higher carb intake (may have been related to types of foods) High carb (lower density) may be a factor. Possibly higher availability in higher carb.
Absolute intake of carb was similar despite a lower %.
Shows manipulation of diet may not yield desired effect.

Due to greater bulk and fibre content?

some compensated others are non-compensators
Compensators became progressively hungrier

Guidelines for coaches/ dietitians/ nutritionists for EA and sport governing bodies

A 
Coaches/ dietitians/ nutritionists
		Monitor and manage EA
		For carb loading/ growth: EA >45kcal/kg FFM
		For maintenance EA = 45kcal/lg FFM
		For fat loss EA = 30 -45
		Never <30 - negative metabolic effects
	Sports governing bodies
		Establish rules and procedures to prevent excessively low EA

Q

relationship between EA and repro and bone protein synth and insulin

A

Low BMD may be mediated by oestrogen deficiency.
Lower EA also measns lower bone protein synth and lower insulin (aa uptake) in a linear way.
Declines abruptly <30EA

Disruption of repro function <30kcal.kg.FFM = EA		Regardles of oestrogen after 5 days deficiency
LH surge based on EA not intake or expenditure alone

EA=30 may be sig as it approximately = sleeping MR
Low EA also suppressed type 1 immunity (intracellular pathogens e.g. virus) - more common UTRI

Q

What is the second law of thermodynamics? Why is a calorie not a calorie

A

dissipation law - in any irreversible (real) process, the entropy must increase; balance is not expected. Entropy is in fact identifiable with irreversibility. Change in energy+entropy = Gibbs free energy (predicts direction).

Second law says that no machine is completely efficient
Lost as heat or internal rearrangement of chemical compounds and other changes in entropy Efficiency dependent on how it works, nature of fuel and processes enlisted by organism

Second law says there is variation of efficiency for different metabolic pathways is to be expected.

Q

Why is g.kg better than %?

A

Often athletes find hard to achieve such carb rich diets in training
Normally 50-55% not 60-70%
Not just body mass but also muscle mass should be accounted for
Energy ratio terminology should be discouraged
Is correlation between % and g.kg though but not strong in men
No relationship in females due to restricted intake in some groups
(maybe because higher %carb = less fat so less overall cals)

a. Lacks precision
b. Recall bias
c. Very quick and easy
d. Population level technique
2) 24hr recall
Snapshat - not normal
Quick and easy - 5 to 10 minuntes
Combined with training can get good info
3) Recorded intake (weighed, estimated, standard household measures) - most common
3-7 days typically
Recording may change behaviour (prospective)
Less likely to forget/ selectively forget
Precise
Time consuming

Q

Amount of post exercise protein to maximise muscle protein synthesis

A

increased effect on NPB up to 20gs of protein unilater leg curl

Another: Did whole body exercise- one cannular in each arm - one for blood and one for protein trace
Uncomfort in test
Whole body exercisee- larger amount needed to maximise?
No effect of body size
What you’ve done not weight that determines weight
40g why protein increased MPS to a greater extent than 20g

90
Q

Is 20g protein appropriate for athletes?

A

Depends on body weight/ size
In this study 80-85kg males
Amount of muscle mass activated

91
Q

Are there any sex differences in NPS?

A

No sig difference using 25gs post work out (lower body resistance)

92
Q

Milk vs soy vs casein as a post exercise protein intake? underlying mechanism?

A

Whey>soy>casein
Milk >soy
Leucine key to switching on pathway
Higher concs in whey then soy then casein
Whey highest protein response then soy then casein
post exercise only - after 120 mins leucine concs were the same
Whey given slowly (pulse) to mimic response of casein

	Bolus = greater protein synthesis (fast delivery)
		Both had equal amounts of Leucine and essential aa delivery but bulus was ealier.
93
Q

Is milk really superior to soy?

A

Maybe milk is maximised but soy protein just needs more?(non max plant based protein at 20-25gs)
Consume additional plant protein you can get same effects.

94
Q

Milk vs whey?

A

80% of milk is casein so how does this make sense?

Milk protein similar effects to whey

95
Q

Effect of co-ingestion of carb and mps?

A

High carb increases insulin response
No difference in muscle protein synthesis
Carb seems to have no effect post workout
At both 0.15 and 0.6g CHO/kg.h
Though that the increase form aas triggers a maximal response of insulin

96
Q

Benefit of protein intake during exercise and pre exercise?

A

Pre exercise?
One study shows positive, most show none
During exercise?
Might “prime the pump”
May enhance MPS during resistance exercise and early recovery

97
Q

Effect of timing of protein intake post workout?

A

1hr vs 3hrs - same response
(in this study used protein with carb)
No anabolic window.
“window of opportunity” may be better phrase as eating straight away means they can wait 3hr to resensitise and potentially gain an extra meal.
3hr resensitise period between meals.
No much benefit if each then have meal 1 hr later.

98
Q

Optimum distribution of protein intake

A 
40g every 6hr
	20 every 3hr
	10g every 1.5hr
	20g of protein every 3 hours (intermediate) was the best vs bolus and pulse
		Maximised MPS
99
Q

When may a 40g protein bolus be appropriate

A

40g casein increase protein balance overnight, increased MPS

100
Q

Over a long 12 week period, how did Milk/soy/carb post exercise vary in untrained individuals? How was this different in females?

A

All groups gained weight - milk then soy then carb
Milk group lost fat mass
Fat and bone free mass, much more in milk

Same study in females - chronic effects
	Just with milk or carb
	Greater gains in lean mass with milk vs carb
	However large loss in body fat post resistance exercise , more than boys
	Roughly same weight overall Female gained strength (males didnt really)
101
Q

Measures to maximise NPB

A 
Exercise is vital 
	Consume high quality protein (milk)
	Consume at least 20-25g every 3h
		>0.3g/kg
	Consume 40g protein before bed (casein)
0.5g/kg
102
Q

Describe the structure of an amino acid

A

Amine group
Carboxyl group
H bond
R group (side chain) - 20 different

103
Q

Limitation of nitrogen balance?

A

Normally calculated on nitrogen balance which is limited - requirements that are too low come from this technique.
Calculated from implausibly high retentions of nitrogen at high protein intakes

104
Q

Physiology of how aa ingestion promotes MPS. Difference in endurance and resistance

A

Exercise and aa ingestion promotes increases in MPS
Due to :
Gene transcription
Protein signalling
Translation initaltion
Very complex
Resistance - postivie protein balance = increased muscle protein accretion and hypertrophy
Endurance - maybe mitochondrial protein synthesis? (oxidative capacity)
Protein triggers both

105
Q

Effect of endurance exercise on leucine oxidation

A

Increased = more requirement assumed

106
Q

How to tell benefit of protein from endurance athletes

A

Difficult. Mixed MPS (Myofibrillar protein fraction and mito protein synthesis together) may not capture the feeding induced enhancement

107
Q

Could pre exercise feeding hamper recovery?

A

Pre exercise feedining unlikely to increase MPS, also unlikely to hamper benefit

108
Q

Describe the protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS)

A

Protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS)
High quality PDCAAS = 1 or close
Animal protein is most high quality
Soy also 1
Milk proteins have scores of 1.2 but are truncated at 1
Milk protein superior possibly due to richness in lecine

109
Q

Why in leucine good?

A

Activate cell singalling in the protein kinase B-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway responsible for translation initiation.

110
Q

Role of non-leucine aas

A

“leucine trigger” hypothesis

To sustain after initial leucine mediated activation need other EAA in particular the BCAAs

111
Q

Effects of high carb diets with low fat? - comp of weight loss

A

Many conventional diets are high carb (50-55%) with 15% protein and <30% fat, - reductions in dietary fat and increases in dietary fibre being favoured. (reduced energy density) - low satiety and poor adherence over long periods
Comp of weight loss here 70-80% adipose, 20-30% lean tissue

112
Q

Better ways than high carb diets and why?

A

Reducing intake of dietary carbs is critically important in promoting greater weight loss and greater loss of body fat
Possibly due to
Lower daily blood glucose and insulin
Inhibits lipolysis, storage not release
Another strategy is to lower the GI carb sources not quantities
Difficult for endurance athletes - need full recovery of glycogen stores
A higher protein or fat intake can also compromise performance

113
Q

Optimal way for athletes?

A

What to replace carb with? (lower carb = <40%)
Higher protein better (still moderate protein diets - twice RDA- 20-30% intake) for preventing lean small loss
Resistive exercise also limits lean mass loss (synergistic)
Protein appears to have a greater satiety effect than carbs and fat.
Higher thermic effect.

114
Q

Does insulin enhance/ suppres mPS/ MPB?

A

None found it enhanced MPS or MPB

115
Q

Physiological requirements for althetes recovering from exercise

A

Hydration
Restoration of metabolised carb
Restoration/ repair of damaged proteins
Remodelling proteins

116
Q

RDA guidelone enough for what? how may more benefit

A

Athletes may require protein for more than just alleviation of the risk for deficiency, inherent in the dietary guidelines, but also to aid in an elevated level of functioning and possibly adaptation to the exercise stimulus.

117
Q

Van Loon, number to maximise protein synth and how often?

A

1.3-1.8 g · kg(-1) · day(-1) consumed as 3-4 isonitrogenous meals will maximize muscle protein synthesis
experienced athletes would require less, while more protein should be consumed during periods of high frequency/intensity training.

118
Q

Van Loon, protein during caloric deficit

A

Elevated protein consumption, as high as 1.8-2.0 g · kg(-1) · day(-1) depending on the caloric deficit, may be advantageous in preventing lean mass losses during periods of energy restriction to promote fat loss

119
Q

How is protein used by the body? Significance?

A

Increase hypertrophy/ muscle mass
Mainly for resistance athletes
In fact amount laid down in muscle is relatively little compared to excess
How much protein to water % in muscle?
20-25% of muscle is protein (chicken breast)
3kg = 240g ish (10g a day is previous study - where men gained 4kg lean mass with milk)
Energy
BCAAs oxidised increases during exercise (even at 30% VO2 max) from Wolfe
Not much at rest
<5% of energy use - relatively small
Can be up to 15% in some situations with severe carb depletion
Mitochondrial biogenesis

Therefore athletes have increased requirements
120
Q

Benefits of protein during exercise?

A

No difference, no significant effect of performance

121
Q

How does post exercise protein (instead of some carb) influence glycogen resynthesis? threshold value?

A

Increasing CHO ingestion increases glycogen resynthesis (until 1.4g/hg/h)
At lower CHO, additional protein improves resynthesis (increases calories)
May around 1.4g/kg/h - 1.0
If you eat low carbs, consuming some protein can increase glycogen

Protein effective <0.8/kg/h more commonly

122
Q

Practicle significant of substituting carb for protein in endurance athlete

A

Carbs alone may be difficult to achieve, adding protein may be more useful
More achievable and realistic - people don’t just eat carbs

123
Q

Other benefits of protein and carb mix after exercise?

A

One carb and one carb+milk protein with same weight
Less urine produced with milk protein
Additional milk protein to enhance rehydration

Also adaptation benefits

124
Q

Describe how with training protein synthesis responses become exercise specific

A

Untrained - increases in both Myofribillar FSR and Mitochondrial with resistance. Increases in mito with edurance - become specific when trained (10 weeks).

Higher turnover in resistance exercise in MSFR, no diff to mitochondrial.

125
Q

How can carb/protein intake post exercise effect adaptation to endurance exercise?

A 
16 men and 16 women
			Carb protein (CM)
			Carbohydrate (C)
			Placebo
		Untrained
		Drinks immediately and 1h after each training session
		Increased VO2 max, relative and absolute (larger in relative) with CM, carb was same as placebo
		Carb protein enhances adaptation
			Adaptation better for training
			Perf for competition
126
Q

How does alcohol effect MPS? way to limit?

A

Alcohol and MPS
Intermittent running (like team sport)
Followed by 12 shots of vodka in 3hrs
Decreases muscle protien synthesis
Sig difference between CHO and PRO when combined with alcohol.
If drinking then ensure adequate protein intake (25g in this study)

127
Q

Describe athletic protein requirements

A 
thletic protein requirements
	Sedentary = 0.8g/kg
	Endurance athletes = 1.2-1.6g/kg
	Strength athletes = 1.2-1.7g/kg
3000 kcal/day (12-15% protein)
	90-113g/day (1.3-1.6g/kg for a 70kg athlete)
	When they consume is important
		Distribution over the day is important
	Increasing requirement during energy restriction
		2g/kg
		Reduces lean tissue loss
128
Q

Normal relationship between kcal intake and protein intake.

A

Normally linear relationship between kcal and protein

Whey supplements may disrupt this

129
Q

How can carb type affect glycogen synthesis and why?

A

igh GI for high insulin over first 6 hrs, benefits may not be there >=20hrs
Combined glucose and fructose (lowerGI) may ooptimise resynth of muscl and liver glucogen - preferential hepatic synthesis of glycogen from fructose and also as different absorption from intestine.

130
Q

How may low GI foods be beneficial?

A

Lower GI may improve capacty for continual exercise later on
Due to
Increased oxidation of lipid during exercise following feeding
Reduces reliance on carbs
Explains why no benefit in HIIT (reliance on carbs)

131
Q

Could gastric emptying limit glycogen storage rate?

A

Gastric emptying rrate is unlikely to limit rate

132
Q

Advantage of liquid protein over solid?

A

Liquid supplements can however simulataneous contribute to rehydration
Osmolarity may effect - high molecular weight glucose polymers may be better

133
Q

How does beggining level of glycogen affect glycogen storage

A

Begging level of glycogen (capacity for glycogen availability) mediates glycogen storage - although less pronounced with higher carb.

134
Q

Which aas are dependent for glycaemic/ insulinaemic response. - how does this effect glucose/insulin concs

A

Certain aas increase
Synergistic with carbs
Dependent on leucine, phenylalanine and tyrosine

Hydrolysed protein with certain EAAs increases insulin the most - e.g. hydrolysed whey, with glucose
Co ingestion is an effective means of increasing plasma insulin concs during a 3-hr post exercise recovery period
Protein should be in excess of 0.3g/kg/h
Co ingestion measns smaller glucose conc but higher insulin conc (makes sense as less carb and more insulin both which lower glucose - increasing uptake from insulin)

135
Q

How much protein minimum for insulinaemic properties

A

Protein should be in excess of 0.3g/kg/h

136
Q

Is glycogen synthesis all about insulin?

A

Increased FFAs (from muscle glycogen depletion) stimulates hepatic glucose production (gluconeogensis) and insulin (from carbs) doesn’t stop this.
Howeverm increased insulin can increase muscle glycogen resynth following exercise
Greater rate found with protein as well as carb alone (may be due to increased energy)

137
Q

Summary of carb/ protein recommendation for glycogen resynthesis from Betts and Williams

A

> 1 of CHO

Or smaller carb with >0.3 again recommended (if below 0.8)

138
Q

Other benefits of post exercise protein from Betts and Williams

A

Increased hepatic glucose with protein may be significant factor as well as increased glycogen resynth in general.
Also may have protective effect agains exercise-induced muscle damage e.g. reduces conc of myoglobin and activity of CK and LD but controvocy - individual variability e.g. CK
May restore contractile functioning.

During exercise:
Increases performance independent of insulin levels still - muscle glycogen spared with CHOPro mixture?
Increased central drive for exercise?
Anaplerotic replenishment of TCA intermediates
Can postone fatigue during exhaustive exercise and improve ‘late-exercise time-trial performance’
Other studies show no increase in time to fatigue/ performance time to complete etc
May be due to if carb fraction is lower than maximal levels for oxidative requirements
Increase glycogen storage may not be the cause of increased performance

During recovery

			Improved fatigue time due to prolonged maintainence of euglycaemia from increased oxidation of extramuscular carb sources during exercise (exogenous and hepatically derived)
				Explains why carbpro may be better during latter stages of prolonged exercise or when pro is added to moderate quantities of carbs (when carb availablity is compromised)
				Fluctuating glucose availability is recognised by CNS and leads to fatigue
139
Q

How many g of CHO stored where?

A

Liver - 80-100g (not trainable)

Muscle glycogen - larger and sensitive to training with glycogen synthase 2-300g to 800-1kg

140
Q

How does liver output, muscle glycogen utilisation, plasma FFA and other fat sources (IMTG) use relate to intensity. What is rate limiting?

A

Liver output of glucose increases proportional to intensity
Muscle glycogen ultilasation increases with intensity
Plasma FFA stays the same
Other fat sources vary with intensity
Always lots of fat (even if very lean)
Reduction in IMTGs at high exercise intensities
Glycogen stores are rate limiting in endurance

141
Q

How quickly is glycogen depleted?

A

Depletion causes fatigue
31% VO2max - still lots at 180
64% habitual - still normally 30%
84% VO2 max - availibily becomes limiting in 60mins (half marathon)
If 120% then matter of minutes
Higher intensity then quicker the decline

142
Q

how can CHO feeding during a race aid maximal distance and 40km time trial performance?

A

3hr cycle
Glucose decreases - hypo at 3 hrs, carb oxidation rates decreases and so does muscle glycogen
90g carb given an hour
Glycogen muscle still falls
Rate of breakdown is still in excess of what can be digested and absorbed -
However athlete can still perform for 1 hr extra
40km time trial performance - (60minish)
Loss of 1 min *sig difference
Still useful

143
Q

Max rate of exogenous carb absorption and ultisation?

A

max rate of 1-1.5g per minute

144
Q

Describe the liver sparing actions of glucose

A

Always providing blood glucose 10-15umol/kg/min
Lo-glu drink - less from liver
High- glu (22% (very conc)) - none from liver

145
Q

Describe exogenous glucose limiting factor and clin sig

A

Not much benefit in amunt oxidised by increasing glucose intake
More in stomach (difference between ingested and emptied
Vomiting potential
Bigger difference between emptied and oxidised
More in lower intestine - limiting factor = absorption?
GI stress , vomiting or defecation

Not muscle glucose uptake - IV this isn't an issue
146
Q

How can we measure ultilisation of exogenous carb?

A 
Can calculate how much ingested carb is used
	Labell drinks with carbon13
	Ingestion occurs
	Followed by exercise
		Digestion absorption oxidation
	Collect breath samples
	Analysis of 13CO2/12CO2 ratio
		Isotope ratio mass spectromer
147
Q

Relationship between exogenous oxidation rate and carb ingestion

A

Always oxidise less than amount ingested
Linear relationshop between amount of carb ingested and used around 1g/min
Limiting rate of oxidiaion around 1g/min

148
Q

Glucose and fructose transporters in the intestine

A

SGLT1 - in intestine (glucose and galactose with Na)
Overwhelmed with increased glucose
Fructose via facilitated GLUT5
Use if glucose overwhelmed to increase blood sugar further
2 separate pathways

149
Q

combination of glu, malt, suc and for for biggest benefit?

A

Sucrose as good as fructose (unless high)
MD as good as glucose
Glu+suc+fruc and glu+fruc can produce highest oxidation rates

150
Q

Performance benefit of glucose and glucose +sucrose

A

Glucose over placebo extra 10%
Glucose and fructose extra 8% over glucose

Power

151
Q

Why might findings of a performance benefit not be entirely accurate?

A

Know its water vs drink
Another study - told it was a performance drink - same as water and found similar results - 6% CHO was still 11% diff on TT cycling perf

152
Q

Food vs drink carb ingetion?

A

Felt more full with bar
Only slight reduction in exogenous CHO oxidation
Only slight reduction in exercise

Convinience of sports drink

153
Q

A

4 trials
Water
Placebo
Glucose
Glucose plus caddeine
105min stead state at 62% VO2 max/ 190W and 45min time trial
Double blind
Caffeine no effect on substrate metab with ingested CHO
4.6% better than GLU and 9% better than placebo

154
Q

Potential mechanism for caffeine performance benefits?

A 
Caffeine is lypolytic if fasted - may stay off carb
	Glycogen - limits lypolysis via insulin
	Same relative metab effect 
		Power output increased
		Not via metabolic patterns
155

Pre muscle glycogen content linearly related to exercise capacity
High CHO prior to exercise = higher capacityand higher pre exercise glycogen, more than controls with mixed diet and low CHO diet.

159
Q

Low vs high CHO replacement of glycogen training 2hrs a day

A

High CHO replaces glycogen in 24h window from 2h exercising, low CHO does not, increasingly declines

160
Q

What is glycogen sypercompensation

A

One leg cycling
Lots of carb
Depleted leg- supercompensation increased muscle glycogen above resting levels showing some trainability

161

A

1-4hr before comp - 1-4g/kg/hr
Ambiguity
Only diff 0g vs 312g, not between 46 v 156g
Resp exchange ratio (closer to 1 = carb)
More carb in 312

167
Q

Pre vs during feeding of CHO?

A 
2 x 30km meals
	During and pre similar
	M = before
	C = during
	During may have more effect if Longer
Opposite blood glucose levels.
168
Q

Risks of hypo from pre exercise feeding

A

Ingestion of glucose decreases blood glucose after CHO initially
Due to insulin and muscles

169
Q

CHO better than placebo during exericse?

A

No difference between CHO and gloopy drink as a pre exercise drink
Both better than water
Affect pacing strategy etc

170
Q

Why are muscle more receptive to glycogen 0-10hr after exercise?

A

increased GLUT 4

171
Q

Training with low glycogen vs high glycogen

A

Muscle glycogen and time to exhaustion improved from low training
Low trained resulted in greater increase in citrate synthase (CS)
Trend for increased haloacid-dehalogenase (HAD) activity
Both key in oxidative metabolism
Training with low muscle glycogen reduced self-selected training intensity

172
Q

Potential limitations of training low glycogen

A

educed self-regulated training vol
Increased risk of injury when depleted
Increased risk of illness - URTI

173
Q

From Burke how to optimise performance benefit from carbs on given carb amount

High molecular weight glucose polymers
		However reduces nutrient density 
	Co- ingestion of large amounts of caffeine
		Sleep disturbance
	Creatine loading
		Weight gain
	Add protein
174
Q

Describe the term “carb availibility” and why it is better than % carbs

A

Adequate supply for muscle and CNS (high avail)
Limiting the daily exercise programme (low availability)

Amount needed depends on
Exercise/ energy cost
Muscle mass
Accounts for energy restricted diets, low intensity activities, large size

175
Q

Is a depletion phase necessary to maximise glycogen storage in trained individuals?

What is meant by “general fueling up”

Prep for events <90 min with 7-12g

178
Q

Describe pre-event fuelling

A

Before exericse >60min 1-4g.kg 1-4hrs before exercise
Avoid high fat/ protein/ fibre to avoid GI ISSUES
Low GI may provide more sustained if cannot consume during
Pre exercise Low may be better as attenuated hyperglycaemia and insulin which reduces suppression of FFA oxidation. Also leads to better maintenance of plasma glucose
Must studies fail to find performance benefit
In exercise feeding negates this so may only be beneficial if unable to feed

179
Q

Descibe speedy refuelling

A

<8hrs then 1-1.2g//kg/hr

Benefits of small nacks

180
Q

Describe intra-exercise carb requirements during different exercise scenarios

A 
<45min none
	45-75min Small amounts e.g. mouth rinse
		No benefit with IV though
		Both sweet and nonsweet carbs
	1.0-2.5hr 30-60g.h
	Ultra-endurance exercise >2.5-3h up to 90g.hr
		If combined with fructose
		Above problems of GI comfort, opportunity to consume
2:1 ratio of glucose:fructose
181
Q

Burke, how is female glycogen storage different from males?

A

Small diff with menstrual cycle, females can store glycogen as well as males

182
Q

Difference in training with low glycogen between trained and untrained

A

In untrained training with low glycogen can improve exercise capacity. Unclear in well trained
Not clamped training procedure (same every day)
Many ways/ characteristics of application and study
No evidence to relate to sporting performance

183
Q

Different methods of training low

A

High fat -May reduce the chronic adaptations to training and impair carb utilization and ability to sustain high intensity exercise
Can use training to endure low carb, work after overnight fast, consuming water during prolonged workout, withholding carb after workout and restricting carb below fuel requirements of training load.

184
Q

Describe variation in body water content

A

Variation between individuals both absolute and relative
Related to differences in body composition
Mainly a function of adipose tissue content
From CT and dispersed in adipose
Larger adipose mass, reduced % of water
40% in adipose
70% in well trained adult
Proportionally most abundant molecule = water

185
Q

How can water content be measured

A

Dilution technique
Take sample e.g. urine, saliva, blood
Idea of background tracer levels
Given heavy water- deuterium oxide
Next day take sample again (urine take second sample)
Greater the change in deutrium concentration between samples means lower the body water
From change in comp can calculate body water composition as rest has diffused across the body

186
Q

How can water turnover be measured? why is this faster in athletes?

A 
On serial days can work out rate at which they are turning over water normally 2L per day but higher in adults
		Faster in athletes
			Sweating
			Other routes
			More intake
187
Q

Describe the distribution of water in the body

A 
70kg at 60% water = 42L (average)
	In the ICF and ECF 
		 2/3 = ICF
		1/3 =ECF 
			1/4 is Intravascular IVF (1/12 total)
3/4 is intersistial ISF
188
Q

Describe the components of water balance

A 
Fluid intake 1.6l
		Fluid intake food 1L
		Metabolic water 400ml
		Losses
			Insensible 
				Skin loss
				Sweat loss?
				Expired air
			Sensible 
				Urine (most)
				Faecal loss
				Sweat loss?
			(recognise or not)
		Exercise increases loses in expired air
			May limit fluid and food 
			May increase metabolic water
		Normally Increases and decreases in exercise balance each other
			Urine is how we regulate
189
Q

Describe euhydration, hyperhydration and hypohydration. Differ from dehydration and rehydration?

A 
Euhydration - state of water balance
		Wave - never completely stable
		Plasm osmolality 280-290mosmol/kg (/l)
		Urine osmolality <700mosmol/kg
		Urine specific gravity <1.020
	Hyperhydration - loads of water
	Dehydration not at below just is process of losing water
	Hypohydration (loss of 1% of body weight) - physiological state
	Back up = rehydation
190
Q

Describe the regulation of plasma osmolality

A

Regulated via exretion by kidneys and intake via thirst mechanism
Control centres in hypothalamus/forebrain
Osmorecetops - 2-3% change in plasma osmolaltiy
= change in response e.g. kindey
Baroreceptors - 10% change in blood volume/pressure
Renal excretion - can only reduce losses, cannot correct deficit
Thirst - most intake is habitual rather than due to physiological needs

Hyperhydration

	Decreased plasma osmolality
	Osmoreceptors
	Decreased thirst
	Decreased AVP/ ADH
	Decreased intake and increased excretion
	Increase in osmolality

Hypohydration

Increased plasma osmolality
Sensed by osmorecptors
	Increase thirst

	Increase Argenine Vasopressin hormone (ADH)
		Less urinary exretion
Water retained
Decreased plasm osmolality
191
Q

Composition of ECF and ICF

A 
ICF	ECF
	Sodium	12	140
	Potassium	150	4
	Calcium	4	2
	Magnegium	3	1
	Chloride	4	104
	Bicarb	12	29
	Inorganic phosphate	40	1
	Total mosmol	285	285
192
Q

Describe water balance during exercise

A

.5-2.5% mass loss
Bigg diff in fluid intake and sweat loss
Independent - sweat more doesn’t mean drink more

193
Q

Describe maximising post exercise rehydration theory

A

What they drink affects AVP and rehydration
Most water will come back out
Effect of the post exercise drink on AVP affects retention
More AVP/ADH then the more retention
Euhydrated = low AVP
Increases with exercise x2-4
Drink/ rehydration = drop in AVP (as drop in osmolality)
If decline in AVP with intake is less then decrease urine output and increase drink retention

194
Q

Desribe the process of rehydration

A 
Mouth - (drink ingestion)
			Important for chosing how to drink
			Taste affects how much you have too
				Choice of flavour
				Temperature also affects
		Stomach
			Regulates gastric emptying
			How quickly uptaken into circiculation
			Key for water (unlike carbs)
		Small intestine 
			Intestinal absorption
		Circulation
			Retention - stays or in bladder?
195
Q

Urine conc for hypohydration

A

Below 700mosmol/kg urine hypohydrated definitely

Below 900 = hypohydrated according to Lewis

196
Q

Describe the effect of rate of drinking on hydration status

A

Insufficient previous rehydration?
Euhydrated group- increased more than they lost
Hypo- consumed 2/3 of what they lost

197
Q

Describe vol of fluid to rehydrate and Na effect

A

Without sodium
100% -of loss - still neg FB
Doesn’t even acount for losses after exercise
150% needed to rehydrate
(no advantage of 200)
High NA - increases NFB at all 3 levels and retention of a more positve NFB (less gradual decline)

198
Q

Relationship between NA conc mmol/l and urine production

A

150% rehydration vol with 0,25,50,100mmol/l Na

Lowest urine production with 100mmol/l, dose response

199
Q

How does carb content affect hydration status?

A

With 2 vs 10% glucose - takes longer through stomach - drip feeding and takes longer. Sig benefit to NFB
Milk protein more rehydration
Same reason
No improvement with whey protein (fast protein)

200
Q

4 overall factors that affect hydration status

A

Drink palatability, volume, composition and rate of drinking

201
Q

Describe differences in those that start eu/hypo hydrated?

A

Insufficient previous rehydration?
Euhydrated group- increased more than they lost
Hypo- consumed 2/3 of what they lost

202
Q

Consensus on the effect of dehydration on aerobic exercise

A

Dehydration (incorrect term) >2% BW degrades aerobic exercise performance in temperate-warm-hot environments. Greater levels of dehydration will further degrade aerobic exercise performance

		Most finish >2% dehydrate
		Not so much rugby Sport dependent
203
Q

Describe different causes of dehydration

A

Types of dehydration
Pre existing hypohydration
Generally caused by inadequate rehydration from previous exercise
Many start (1/3)
Exercise induced hypohydration
Loss of sweat > intake
More prevalent in prolonged exercise >1h
Hot/ humid conditions, limited convective cooling
Limited drinking oppertunities e.g. Half time in football, less oportunities to rehydrate

204
Q

Describe sports where risks of dehydration are higher

A

Fluid intake - swimming (open water), often only one drinks stop, must stop swimming to drink but much lower sweat rate.
Runners typically dehydrate themselves running
Convective cooling outside for cyclists increases cooling so lower sweat response
2% reduction in body weight from 24hrs of no fluid.
Often in athletes that have to make weight
Many US colleigic athletes, majority Hypo (cut off at 900)
S hYp definitely hypo - 12%

Cyclists have 2 bottle cages - runners less opportunity to rehydrate
Slower runners tend to carry fluid - completly changes biomechanics
Fluid intake - swimming (open water), often only one drinks stop, must stop swimming to drink but much lower sweat rate.’

205
Q

How does hydration stutus affect 5km endurance performance and edurance capacity?

A

5km treadmill running performance
Hypohydrated by fluid restriction and exercise
2% hypohydrated = 6% greater time
Change in performance of 1% = a meaningful change
Range of 2-11% change
Unsure why
Some people more susceptible than others
Endurance capacity
Run to exhaustion at 70% VO2max
Fluid ingested or restricted (cross over trial so got both)
25% reduction if no fluid

206
Q

How does temperature and hydration status combined affect performance. Why?

A 
4 groups of 10,20,30,40 deg C
	Manipulated hydration status in evening
	Started 0 or 4% dehydrated
	Hydration status affected performance
	Also interaction with environmental
		Hotter it was, greater decrease
		Shown by % decrement from EU
	Only stat sig in 30C, anomaly at 20
	20deg onwards impaired perf from hypo
Greater environmental temperature exacerbates the negative effects of hypohydration
As environmental temperature increases, greater demand for skin blood flow, less blood available for cerebral and muscles, with hypo (lower blood volume) limits SV and CO. - affect on thermoregulation too- more delaterious at 40deg C
207
Q

How does dehydration affect strength performance

A

Adequate fluid vs 2% hypohydrated
Max voluntary strength/ force production and resistance exercise performance (Cumulative total work completed - 2.5%) impaired with hypoperformance
Non voluntary the same
Not muscle that changes but ability to activate maximally
Change in hydration may be implicated in injury?
To do with contaction of muscles counteracting
Submax contraction may be RF for injury

208
Q

How does hypohydration affect skill performance?

A 
Before and after exercise
	1h exercise in the heat 
	Bowler performance
		Line and length negativly affected
		Velocity the same
		Shuttle run performance negatively impaired, impairment greater after exercise in hypohydrated
Simulated basketball
	Impaired shots on move but not on line
	At 2-4% sig, 1 not sig but mean lower
209
Q

Link between endurance performance and hydration status

Why?

A

More weight loss, faster the performance
Massive individual variability
Top 10, everyone else but one lost >2.5% water loss from 3 different races

Higher metabolic rate, higher sweat rate
Less comfortable to drink - access to fluid e.g. Picking up is hard Less time available to drink
210
Q

Flaw in hydration status literature?

A

Previous data forces people to do things they dont want to do - often uncomfortable / psychological affects from dehydration protocol
Familirisation trials x4 before 45 min at 75%VO2max and then a TT
Performace worse initially
After familirisation, hypo results similar to euhydrated (trend still to be slightly worse), everyone improved
Change in performance between groups went from 6% to 1%ish
RPE - much lower after familirisation

211
Q

Potential benefits of hypohydration?

A

Hypohydration in running is theoretically erogogenic - reduces weight
Some finish 8-10% body mass lost

	Familiarisation attenuates Endurance training may do this
212
Q

Best index for hydration status?

A

Plasma osmolality best index of hydration from sweat losses

213
Q

Difference in hypohydration from sweat loss vs diuretics

A

Sweat loss sees greater loss in plasma vol from hypohydration than with furosemide (more comes from ECF). (isoosmotic sweat loss)

214
Q

What threshold of % body mass loss affects aerobic perormance and cognitive function, mood, readiness, psychomotor function?

A

Hypohydration of >=2% of body mass loss degrade aerobic perf
Particularly if warm
1-2% reduction is generally tolerated if <90 min in 20-21C
2-3% neg effects sport specific skills
2-3% no effect on sprint performance
Dehydration (<3%) unlikely to reduce cognitive function, psychomotor function, mood and mental readiness, higher levels may make worse. Heat stress augments

215
Q

why might a higher % body weight loss be worse/ affect performance more in some individuals than others?

A

Lean body mass = 74%, fatter then smaller total. Fatter people a % reduction means a greater reduction in total body water/ more sever hypohydration.
Heat aclimation state and aerobic/non aerobic components of sport also afffect performance.
Variability in effect on performance.
Smaller effects not identified by research

216
Q

Why is hydration literature difficult to compare?

A

Research complicated by variation in fluid provision, exercise test, training status, heat acclimation status, environmental condition, nutritional status, drinking schedule and temperature of drinks. Often absence of familiarisation trials - may affect pacing.

217
Q

How is percieved effort affected by hydration?

A

Sensation of effort increased with hypohydration
Effort also increases with temp
May be more significant in health setting

218
Q

Describe the optimum consumption of fluid and electrolytes for performance

A

Should drink enough to limit to 2%.
Include sodium if high sweat losses (3-4g or especially >2hrs)
Don’t drink enough so that weight gain occurs.

Afterwards consume water and NA greater than loses

Sodium only beneficical electrolyte

Before exercise Na can help retain water
219
Q

How can fluid and electrolytes aid thermoregulation

A 
Cold fluid (0.5C) attenuates rises in temp in certain scenarios
	May improve performance by 10%

Na needed to reestablish ECF and replace sweat depletion

220
Q

How does hydration and heat affect the brain?

A

Largely unknown:
How does the brain sense effort of exercise?
May be temperature?
May be changes to permeability of blood brain barrier by hyperthermia/ dehydration
Unclear
Fluid can prevent rise in S100B - brain protein
