Carbohydrate
Stored form of carbohydrate
Glycogen
Amino acids that cannot be made by the body; must be consumed through food
What are essential amino acids (n=9)?
Stored form of fat in the body
Triglyceride
Classification of minerals that we need in greater amounts; i.e., greater than 100 mg / day
What is a macromineral?
Supplement used to improve performance in short duration, high intensity activity
Creatine
Simple Sugar
Monosacchride
Protein category in which a food source contains all of the essential amino acids
The BMI metric which classifies someone as obese
> or = to 30
Vitamins A, D, E, K fit this classification of vitamins
Fat soluble
Ergogenic doses often range between 3-6 mg / kg of body weight; benefits include enhanced focus and FFA utilization.
Caffeine
Carbohydrate is the only macronutrient used in this energy system
Anaerobic glycolysis
Recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for protein intake expressed in grams / kg-Bw for the average person (non-athlete)
What is 1.0 gram / kg-BW?
Major fat fuel in the body
FFA or Free Fatty Acids
Number of vitamins that are considered to be water soluble
What is 9?
Eight B-complex vitamins and Vitamin C
Leucine, Isoleucine and valine comprise are considered the __________; amino acids preferentially metabolized by the skeletal muscle
What are Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)?
Glycogen window
Central signaling pathway that regulates protein synthesis; RT and PRO intake activate this pathway
What is mTOR?
Site of beta oxidation
Mitochondria
Essential component of hemoglobin, an erythrocyte (red blood cell) protein that transfers oxygen from the lungs to the tissues
Iron
Blood doping involves the misuse of this substance, which can increase one's red blood cell mass, which allows the body to transport more oxygen to muscles
EPO or Erythropoietin
6-10 grams / kg-Bw
The biological process by which the body builds new proteins with muscle cells
What is MPS or muscle protein synthesis?
The metabolic formation of fat
Lipogenesis
Substance that prevents damage caused by free radical activity
What are anti-oxidants?
