Q

Protein

A

*0.8 -1g/kg for young adults in general fitness
*1-1.6 for aerobic endurance
*1.4-1.7 for anaerobic strength athletes
*1.8-2.7 for cutting
*1.5-2 for bulking
*anabolic window = 3-5 hrs but sensitivity 24-48 hrs
*0.15-0.25/kg protein if 4 hrs pre comp. At least 10g protein consumed within 3 hrs of exercise for endurance and 30g for strength. Specifics: 20-25g protein(8.5-10g) from BCAA’s, 2-3g from leucine) or older athletes needing 40g. If protein was in fasted state, consume within 30 min.
*Adults eat 20-30g high-leucine every 3-4 hrs.
* Almost half body’s protein in skeletal muscle, 15% skin, the rest visceral.
*Protein is 50% bone volume and 33% bone mass bc of influence in IGF-1
*Higher protein helps calcium absorb

Q

Carbohydrate

A

8-10g carb aerobic endurance athletes
5-6g carb anaerobic athletes
consume 1.5g carb within 30 min after training for aerobic, preferably high GI. every 2 hours. 24 hours to fully complete glycogen store restoration.
1-4g/kg carb if 4 hours pre race. if 2 hours, 1g/kg. if 1 hour, 0.5g/kg.
loading: 8-10g then 10-12g 36-48 hours before
athletes consume 30-90g/28-144g carbs as drink or food each hour. strength athletes consume 30-100g high GI carbs after exercise.

Q

during-competition fluid recommendation:

A

children under 40kg/88lbs: 5oz of cool water or sports drink every 20min
adolescents 60kg (132lbs) drink 9oz every 20 min
aerobic endurance
tennis players 200-400ml fluid per changeover and some fluid from sports drink
20-30 mEq sodium with chloride and 2-5mEq potassium and a 5-10% carb concentration.
prevent water loss of 2%+ of bodyweight.
if next activity is soon, 1.5 L of fluid for each kg of body weight loss.
3-8oz every 15min during competition for adults
dehydration 2+% causes decreased blood pressure, decrease stroke volume, decreased cardiac output, decreased blood flow to muscles
