Q

What is the Obesity Paradox?

A
  • Individuals with obesity → survival advantage when only BMI is taken into account
  • <10% used a direct measure of body composition
  • When muscle mass is taken into account
    → a high BMI has no protective effect in the presence of low muscle mass

Q

How does it work to take CHO hours before competition?

A

– Goal: to replenish/maximize liver glycogen and increase glucose delivery to muscle
– 0-4 hrs before exercise:
– Meal 3-4 hour before exercise can increase muscle glycogen.
– 1 hour before liver glycogen can be increased (but likely not muscle)
– 1.0-1.2 g/kg snack 30-60 min before exercise (more controversial but recently accepted)
* Concerns over “reactive hypoglycemia” (which may be less common if consumed closer to exercise (e.g. 15 min) or if warm up is included.
* Consequence of excessive insulin released which continues past eating.
* ~200-300g 3-4h before exercise
* Fructose (slower absorption – requires conversion in liver) may not be as effective

Q

What is the goal for CHO during competition?

A
  • ~ 30-60 g/hr (liquid or solid) benefits high intensity, long duration work (extends time to exhaustion)
    – 0.7g/kg/hr
  • training state does not improve ability to utilize oral CHO
  • Better to provide every 15-20 min than after 2h
  • Not high fructose (slower to absorb, more GI symptoms)
  • Controversy for events lasting <1hr
  • Adding some fructose can help
  • Exercise induced elevation in epinephrine depresses the release of insulin!

Q

What should the timing be of CHO intake after exercise?

A
  • Rapid phase of glycogen synthesis (1-2 hours) – glycogen synthase (exercise upregulates this rate-limiting enzyme) and glucose availability
  • Slow phase of glycogen synthesis – insulin availability
  • Eat immediately after you get the greatest rate of glycogen synthesis.
  • Wait 2h – much slower

Q

What are some recommendations for weight gain?

A

– Convenient form of energy/macronutrients
– Directly impact performance
– Support higher intensity training

77
Q

Why do you need to be cautious when taking Protein bars, shakes, pills, powders etc?

A
  • Most are unregulated (watch for DIN) and can contain banned substances
  • Caffeine, creatine, sodium bicarbonate (buffer pH) and nitrate generally have good evidence of benefit
  • BUT effectiveness of many supplements not proven or not universally beneficial – need more high quality work
78
Q

What are 3 Critical questions prior to taking supplements?

A
  • Is the product available, affordable, tolerated and compatible with your performance goals?
  • Does your coach, team doctor, personal physician or sports nutritionist know of and support the use of your choice of supplements?
  • Is the supplement manufactured and sold by a reliable source in which the risk of cross-contamination with other substances is low?
79
Q

What is dehydration?

A

Loss of >2% body weight

80
Q

What are the water intake recommendations for before exercise?

A

5-7 ml of water / kg (at least 4h before exercise): e.g., 75 kg person = 375 – 525 ml

81
Q

What are the water intake recommendations for during exercise?

A

Individuals should develop fluid replacement plans to prevent excessive (<2% body weight reductions from baseline body weight) dehydration.
* Sweat rates can vary from 0.3-2.4 L/h
* Maximum rate of gastric emptying ~ 1-1.5L/hr
– Concerns over hyponatremia (low sodium)

82
Q

What are the water intake recommendations for after exercise?

A

If time permits, consumption of normal meals and beverages will restore dehydration.
– If needing more rapid recovery from dehydration can drink
~1.5 L of fluid per kg of weight lost.
– Fluids/foods with sodium will help expedite rapid recovery by stimulating thirst and fluid retention

83
Q

What is sweat rate related to and impacted by?

A

Sweat rate is related to running time; but is impacted by ambient temperature

84
Q

What is important for determining body weight/fat goals or standards?

A
  • be careful with tools used to assess body composition (errors)
  • be careful assigning specific weight or %fat goal for a group (don’t ignore the individual)
  • provide appropriate support and expertise when suggesting weight loss or gain
  • More significant weight (Fat) loss should preferably take place in the off-season
85
Q

What is the recommended nutrition for weight loss?

A
  • moderate energy restriction
  • gradual loss (0.5-1.0 kg/week, approx 500-1000 kcal/day deficit)
  • or increase expenditure with less restriction (difficult for already active athletes)
  • Appropriate CHO for training needs
    – lower CHO impairs performance
  • Maintain/increase absolute protein intake
    – especially during 1st week (amino acids used to make glucose instead of synthesis)
  • Decrease absolute fat intake
  • Adequate energy intake
86
Q

What is the suggested routine for weight gain?

A

-Protein: 1.2–1.7 g/kg/day or about 25% of kcals from protein
-CHO: 6.0 g/kg/day or about 55% of kcals from CHO
-FAT: about 20% of kcals from fat
* 0.1 g essential AA/kg immediately prior and/or during first few hours of recovery
* adding CHO (0.5 g/kg) may be more effective
* may be obtained from supplements or “real” food (1 cup chocolate milk or 1 cup non-fat fruit yogurt)

87
Q

What does Ergogenic mean?

A

Work producing

88
Q

What is an Ergogenic aid?

A

Substances or techniques used to improve athletic performance (physiological, psychological, or biomechanical function)

89
Q

How do you determine the effectiveness of ergogenic aids?

A
  • is it safe?
  • is it banned?
  • the amount
  • does it make sense?
  • does it match the science?
90
Q

What are the Critical Evaluation of Nutrition
Supplement studies?

A

– Does the study have a clear hypothesis?
– Was the study on cells, tissues, animals or humans?

Caffeine & Ephedrine

94
Q

How to thermogenic drugs work?

A

– sympathetic nervous system (SNS) major regulator of thermogenesis - caffeine/ephedrine stimulate
– α receptors include α1 (heart,vascular smooth muscle) and α2 (presynaptic terminals and vascular and other smooth muscle cells)
– β receptors, including β1, β2 and β3 (heart, lungs, blood vessels) (many functions including ↑lipolysis…)

95
Q

What are 2 types of Sympathetic stimulants?

A

CNS stimulants:
- Ephedrine/pseudoephedrine

96
Q

What are the potential benefits of sympathetic stimulants?

A
  • Weight loss
  • Reaction time/acceleration/speed

  • Fine motor coordination
97
Q

98
Q

What is Ephedrine?

A

(stimulant – prevent low BP)
* A sympathomimetic substance
(Stimulates SNS)
* Pseudoephedrine is a drug available over the counter

* the herb má huáng (Ephedra sinica) contains
ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. Classified as herb (dietary supplement)

99
Q

What are the proposed effects of sympathetic stimulants?

A
  • Ephedrine and amphetamines are sympathomimetic (stimulate α and β receptors)
  • ephedrine has both thermogenic and appetite suppressive effects
  • Weight loss!
  • prevents loss of FFM during restriction…may be protein sparing and influencing protein synthesis
  • may also prevent drop in RMR with restriction
100
Q

Q

What does caffeine do to the body?

A
  • ↑ mental awareness, reduce perception of fatigue,
    ↑central driver, ↑ fiber recruitment…
  • adenosine (when binds to receptors it slows neural activity – sleepy) receptor antagonist (stimulates metabolism)
  • Reduces the negative feedback that inhibits
    secretion of noradrenaline (ie. The body keeps secreting noradrenaline - neurotransmitter)
  • Relaxes smooth muscles (increased BF)
  • Increase intestinal CHO absorption
  • ~ Helps stimulate adrenal medulla -adrenaline (hormone)
  • ↑ lipolysis (from adipocytes), ↑ FFA, ↑ fat oxidation?
104
Q

What is the proposed effect of caffeine?

A

– Caffeine is metabolized in the liver by the
cytochrome P450 oxidase enzyme into:
* Paraxanthine (84%): Has the effect of increasing lipolysis, leading to elevated glycerol and free fatty acid levels in the blood plasma.
* Theobromine (12%): Dilates blood vessels and increases urine volume. Theobromine is the principal alkaloid in cocoa.
* Theophylline (4%): Relaxes smooth muscles of the bronchi, used to treat asthma.

105
Q

Some athletes coaches, athletes, trainers consider amenorrhea benign consequence of training, indicator of good training, body fat levels at optimal level for performance
- actually comes from LEA

151
Q

What is Low Bone Mineral Density (BMD)?

A

(aka osteopenia)
– bone mineral density Z-score between -1.0 and -2.0.
