27
types of fat best to worst
monounsaturated
polyunsaturated
saturated
trans
28
unsaturated
Unsaturated fats, which are liquid at room temperature, are considered beneficial fats because they can improve blood cholesterol levels
29
saturated fats
Saturated fat is mainly found in animal foods increase HDL
30
transfats
made by heating liquid vegetable oils in the presence of hydrogen gas and a catalyst, a process called hydrogenation.
31
Glycemic index
a system that ranks foods on a scale from 1 to 100 based on their effect on blood-sugar levels.
32
What is the rationale and recommendation for CHO use during exercise?
start 30 min prior to fatigue
0.1-0.2 g/kg of body weight every 20 min.
Little evidence it improves performance under 1 hour
Something that would be digested fairly quickly
Liquid is better and more easily digested
33
What is the rationale and recommendation for CHO feedings immediately prior to exercise
30-15 min prior
Needs practice
● Conflicting studies
● Hypoglycemic individuals should avoid CHO intake 0-60 minutes prior to exercise
-This is magnified by high GI foods
Really depends other individual
34
What is the rationale and recommendation for CHO feedings immediately post exercise
- 0.75 - 1.5 g/kg every hour for first 4 hours (GI upset?)
35

How does endurance training improve fat burning capacity physiologically?
Exercise training ↑ ability to work harder, longer, at a low VO2
↑ mitochondrial content & # of enzymes within mito.
↑ concentration
↑ MT-LPL, &
fatty acyl-CoA
↑ muscle TG storage & oxidation
↑ capillary density ↑ blood flow
↑ HSL
↑ cardiovascular & respiratory system that ↑ O2 delivery to muscle for fat oxidation (↑ capillarization)
53
Pre-game meal rationale and recommendations
● Provide adequate hydration
● Takes 4-6 h to digest a meal completely
- Recommendation is 2-6 h prior to competition
- Allow full diaphragm expansion
● Provide carbohydrates to "top off" liver stores
● Avoid the sensation of hunger
● Minimize GI tract problems
- Small & easily digested
- Familiar to individual
● High in carbohydrate
- ~200-300 g (~500-1200 kcal)
- 4-5 g/kg of body weight
● Low in fat & fiber
● Moderate in size
- Depends on size of athlete &
nature of sport
● Athletes engaging in early AM activities may want to schedule a very early morning (2:30-4:30 AM) snack or CHO drink
● Always take individuality into consideration
54
Why or why not would CHO use during exercise help recreational athletes that workout 4-10 hours/wk.?
It depends on intensity and duration
if an individual is exercising for over 90 may be important to replenish CHO store
prevention of gluconeogenins
Glycogen depletion can occur after 2-3 hours of continuous exercise at 60-80% max VO 2 or after intermittent 90-130% of max VO 2
If not there is really no need
evidence dose not support <1 improvement during exercise
55
What are the recommendations for hydration pre, during, and post exercise longer than 1 hour?
● 1-2 hours before - ~500 ml (16 oz) of water in a 4-8% CHO solution
● 15-30 minutes before 300-500 ml (10-16 oz) of water in a 4-8% CHO solution
● Drink ~250 ml (6-8 oz) of water with 4-8% CHO every 10-15 min
-Na & Cl may help depending on osmolality
● Recovery - immediately & every 2 hours, 1g of CHO/kg of body weight, fluid to replace body losses: 500•0.5kg lost ( or 2 c•lb lost)
56
Fat mobilization and utilization during exercise. What does the research say in regards to fat feeding and mobilization during exercise? Does it spare glycogen stores? Why or why not?
Evidence dose not support fat as an ergogenic aid
Dose not have an effect on glycogen stores
fat burning capability is based on athletic training, duration, & intensity not amount
57
6 key strategies for successful weight control.
- engaging in high levels of physical activity
- eating a diet that is low in calories and fat;
- eating breakfast
- self-monitoring
- weight on a regular basis
- maintaining a consistent eating pattern
- catching "slips" before they become habits
58
Based on the research (mention specific studies) presented in class, what arguments could you make that obesity is caused more by lifestyle than genetics?
Major differences in the tendency of individuals toward obesity
25% of variability is due to genetic factors
30% of variability is due to cultural factors
Twin study
59
What is the physiological rationale and specific nutritional recommendation for carbohydrate use during exercise, over 1 hour, under 1 hour
- 0.1-0.2 g/kg of body weight (0.05-0.1 g/lb ) every 20 min.
- Starting 30 minutes before fatigue
- initiated 30 minutes into exercise
Something that would be digested fairly quickly
ex: Glucose, sucrose, maltodextrin, etc....
60
How might CHO loading help athletes? Why and when is it appropriate?
● Muscle glycogen loading
("supercompensation")
-Goal is to maximize muscle glycogen
● Normal glycogen levels
-Trained male athlete on mixed diet are
~130-160 mmol/kg of muscle
-Untrained male ~80-100 mmol/kg of muscle
-Super Compensated male ~200 mmol/kg of muscle
Used for individuals preparing to be exhausting
61
In exercise lasting 2-4 hours, how does the use of glucose and lipids change in skeletal muscle during moderate intensity endurance exercise (70% VO2max)? How do blood concentrations of energy substrates change
Long duration type of exercise utilizes more lipids rather than blood glucose.
if not adequately fed gluconeogenosous occurs and utilizes keytones (protein) for energy along side fat
