What is Nutrition?
Ingestion, Digestion, Absoprtion and Metabolism
What is a Nutrient?
Specific function in the body
What is exercise?
Can be anerobic or aerobic
What is aneorobic?
-Without oxygen
-Primary use of one or both systems: anerobic glycolysis and creatien phosphate - short duration - high intensity
What is aerobic?
- with oxygen
- Mostly endurance
- Uses oxidative phosphorylation
- sustained for long periods of time
What is sports nutrition?
- Based on sound scientific evidence
- mixed of nutriiton and exercise physiology
- requires some” art” to apply evidence to humans
What are the 3 functions of nutrients?
- Regulation of metabolism
- Provide energy
- Promote growth and development
What are the 6 long term for nutrition?
- Adequate energy intake in order to meet the energy demands of training or performance
- Adequate replenishment of liver and muscle glycogen with diterary carbohydrates
- Adequate protein intake
- Adequate hydration
- Maintain overall diet for a good health
- Appropriate weight and body composition
What are the 5 short term goals?
- Consumption of food and beverages in ordet to delay muscle fatigue during training or competition
- Minimize hypohydrate and dehydration
- Utilization of dietary strategies beneficla for performance such as caffeine intake, carbohydrate loading and your precompetition meals
- Intake of nutrients in order to help wit recovery
- Appropriate timing of nutrients
What are the 6 training principles?
- Progressive overloading –> graudal increase in weight in strength training
- Individuality –> PA is planned, structured and purposive
- Specificity –> responses to a certain training
- Hard/easy –> Alloweing rest and recovery for optimal adapation
- Periodization –> Macrocycle, Mesocycle, microcycle
- Disuse –> Erosion of physiological capacity
What is Indispensable?
- Means Essential
-Cannot be synthesized in the body
What is despensable?
- Non-Essential
- Can be synthesized in the body
What is conditionally essential?
- Can be synthesized in the body under certain conditions
Why are essential nutients important? (4)
- For growth health and survival
- Absense –> disease and death
- Critical evel of intake
- Substance is not synthesized in the body
What is the DRI (Dietary reference intake)
- Recommended intake levels of macronutrients, vitamins and minerals
- For prevention of chronic diseases
- Composed of 4 things
What is RDA?
: the average daily dietary intake that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirement of nearly
all (97 to 98%) healthy individuals in a particular group according to stage of life and gender.
What is Adequate Intake (AI)?
a recommended intake value based on observed or experimentally determined approximations or estimates of nutrient intake by a group (or groups) of healthy people, that are assumed to be adequate; AI is used when an RDA cannot be determined
What is Estimated Average Requirement
(EAR)?
: a daily nutrient intake value that is estimated to meet the requirements of half of the healthy
individuals in a group according to life stage and gender—used to assess dietary adequacy and as the basis for the RDA
What is Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL)?
the highest daily nutrient intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health effects for almost all
individuals in the general population. As the intake increases above the UL, the potential risk of adverse effects increases
How many hours should an athlete exercise for if they must use the pyramid for athletes?
5 hrs> or equal
What does the Canadian Food Inspect Agency do?
Enforced the regulation for food of the Food and Drugs Act and Regulations
What is provided on food labels? (4)
- Ingredient List
- Nutrition facts
3, Nutrition Claims - Health Claims
What are health claims?
Disease risk reductino claims
What are the 4 examples of health claims?
- Vit D and Calcium & regular PA with osteoporosis
- Fruits and vegetables with types of cancers
- Foods high in K and low in Na for blood pressure
- Sterol Plants and cholesterol levels in adults
