Earliest records of special diets for athletes?
Greek Olympic athletes, 580 B.C.
Historical ‘victorious’ foods of the athletes?
Meat – deer liver, lion heart, Alcohol
Earliest scientific literature on the nutritional intake of ‘present-day’ athletes?
1952 Olympic games, Helsinki, Finland (Jokl, 1964)
Average intake for all athletes (Jokl, 1964);
4,503 kcal, 40% CHO, 20% PTN, 40% FAT
1st study to correlate level of performance to E intake + Main conclusion?
a.
1952 Olympic games, Helsinki, Finland (Jokl, 1964)
b.
athletes with lower kcal intake = poor athletic results
Early 1900’s: Protein supplementation did not or did not enhance endurance performance?
Did not
1940’s: Protein supplementation enhanced muscle mass in which type of athletes?
power/strength athletes
true or false? 1950’s: shift in diet to decrease intake of animal sources (milk and beef)
False. 1950’s: shift in diet to increase intake of animal sources (milk and beef)

intense
in which year did they find that: supplementing CHO before and during marathon prevented symptoms of fatigue and inability to concentrate
1920’s
1960’s: high CHO diets enhance muscle glycogen levels: CHO loading can improve________and
performance time & endurance
first sports nutrition product
– Gatorade, 1960’s
What year did the devlopment of : development of different CHO loading strategies begin?
1980
when? discovery and isolation of micronutrients
1930’S
1940’s: research indicated V&M supplementation did or did not enhance athletic performance?
Did not, Despite this, athletes continued to super supplement V&M
When was it discovered that antioxidant supplementation may prevent cellular damage due to endurance and high intensity exercise
1990’s
What is an Ergogenic Aids
performance enhancing substance
main two ergonic aids in the 1990’s
Caffeine and creating
Which body system has been the main ‘target’ for nutritional manipulation, and has been the most extensively studied in the field of sport nutrition?
Muscular system
Why is it important to consider all body adaptations to exercise? (2)
Nutritional training can potentially alter all stress response adaptations to exercise (effects of which have yet to be discovered)
The athlete functions as a whole organism; if one physiological or biochemical area ‘falls short’ of its true potential, the athlete does not attain peak performance
Educational goals of the Food Pyramid for Athletes.
Performance & long term health
“Provide qualitative and quantitative guidance on food and fluid requirements for athletes training at a ‘moderate’ intensity”. Falls under which goal of the food pyramide for athletes
Performance
