Basic Exercise Physiology
What molecule is broken down for energy?
ATP
What are the three things to consider when giving nutritional recommendations?
Food preferences, psychological status, digestibility
Water makes up this percent of the body.
50 to 70%
Exercise type that lasts 30 minutes or more
Endurance
Carbohydrates are stored as __ in the muscles and liver.
Glycogen
A pre-competition meal should be consumed this many hours before competition to maximize glycogen replenishment.
3 to 4 hours
Stable core temperature of humans.
37 degrees Celsius
exercise type that lasts for 4 hours or more
Ultra-Endurance
The body prioritizes these energy systems for high-intensity activities.
ATP-PC and Anaerobic
This combined with protein offers benefits during exercise.
Carbohydrates
This gender is at higher of developing exercise-associated hyponatremia.
Women
Increase muscle triglyceride stores/spare
Muscle Glycogen
Stored in adipose tissue
Triglycerides
A Strategy in which excess carbohydrates are consumed in order to store more glycogen for an exercise event.
Carbohydrate Loading
The term for the state of normal body water content.
Euhydration
Carbohydrate oxidation is limited by the rate of
Intestinal Absorption
After this many hours of moderate intensity exercises, muscle glycogen stores are depleted.
1-3 Hours
What is the maximum rate of carbohydrate absorption?
1.2 to 1.7 g/min
results from excessive intake of low-sodium fluids during prolonged endurance activities
Exertional Hyponatremia
the speed in which ATP is generated
Aerobic power
