Diet and nutrition And Training Methods(paper 1) Flashcards
recommended calorie intake for a male and female
male-2550 calories
female-1940 calories
what percentage of ur diet should be carbohydrates
55%
what percentage of ur diet should be proteins
15%
what percentage of ur diet should be fats
30%
why are carbohydrates essential
sugars and starches stored as glycogen in the body and converted to glucose to fuel energy production
why are proteins essential
amino acids essential for the growth and repair of cells and tissue
what is the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats
saturated-assosiated with cardiovascular disease-non healthy
unsaturated-improved endurance and recovery rates-healthy
what are vitamins and minerals important
essential organic and inorganic nutrients required for healthy body function.
why is fiber important for a balanced diet
maintains digestive system
why is water important for a balanced diet
allows bodies chemical reactions to take place
farries glucose to working muscles
what is the energy balance
relationship between energy intake and expenditure
if energy intake is higher than higher than expenditure then u will gain weight if it is less you will lose weight.
what is BMR
basal metabolic rate
what are ergogenic aids
a substance object or method used to improve or enhance performance=some are legal and some are illegal
pharmological aids
group of ergogenic aids taken to increase levels of hormones or neural transmitters naturally produced by the body including anabolic steroids EPO and HGH
What are Anabolic steroids and some side effects
group of synthetic hormones resembling testosterone which promote muscle growth and repair
side effects-male shrink in testes sperm inefficiency and count
female-hair growth deepening of voice
what is EPO and some side effects
Illegal synthetic product responsible for red blood cell production.
side effects-hyper viscosity of the blood raises risk of blood clots
decrease cardiac output
2 benefits of EPO
Increase red blood cell and haemoglobin count
Increase oxygen transportation and aerobic capacity
Increase duration of exercise without fatigue
What is HGH
Human growth hormone simulates naturally occurring growth hormones to increase protein synthesis for muscle growth and repair
3 benefits and risks of HGH
Benefits-increase muscle mass and strength
Increase blood glucose levels
Increase duration and intensity of exercise
Risks-abnormal bones and muscle development
Enlargement of vital organs
Benefits of anabolic steroids
Increase muscle mass and strength
Increase speed of recovery
Increase intensity and duration of exercise and training
What are physiological aids
A group of erogenuc aids used to increase rate of adaptation to the body to increase performance
What is blood doping
A increase of red blood cell count used by infusing blood prior to competition
Benefits and risks of blood doping
Benefits. Increase red blood cell and haemoglobin count
Increase oxygen transplant and aerobic capacity
Increase duration and intensity of training before fatigue
Risks-decrease cardiac output
Increase blood viscosity
Ncrease risk of heart attack and blood clots
What is intermittent hypoxia training
Interval training with work intervals performed under conditions with limited oxygen supply compared to normal levels in order to increase buffering capacity
What is buffering capacity
Ability to resist changes in ph such as lactic acid
What are cooling aids
Range of products used to reduce core temperature and speed up recovery
What are some benefits of cooling aids
Thermal train reduced
Prevents cardiovascular drift
Decreased fatigue
Some negatives of cooling aids
I’ve burns
Chest pain and reduced efficiency of joins
Hide or complicate injury
What is thermal strain
Additional pressure to body by an increase in temperature that can cause short term and long term negative effects
What is cardiovascular drift
Howard’s drift of heart rate associated with a rise in body temperature
What is the glycaemic index
A rating showing how quickly carbohydrates affects blood glucose legels
What is hypoglycaemia
Low blood glucose levels associated with dizziness shaking and raised heart rate
What is the process of glycogen loading
Day 2 deplete glycogen stored so carbs in diet
Day 2-3 high protein high fat diet
Day 4 glycogen depleting bout of endurance exercise
Days 5-7 high carb diet while tapering training
2 negative effects of EPO
Decrease cardiac output
Decrease natural production of EPO
Increase risk of blood clots
2 benefits and risks of creating supplements
Benefits=increase fuel for high intensity exercise
Increase intensity and duration of performance
Negatives
Increase weight gain
Increase water retention
Muscle cramps
2 benefits and negatives of bicarbonates
Benefits
Increase buffering capacity
Increase tolerance to lactic acid
Risks
Unpleasant taste
Gastrointestinal problems
