Factors that Interfere with Recovery
Glycogen Storage
CHO Target Amounts
training with low CHO availability
Issues in post exercise rehydrating
100

This factor interferes with the ability/interest in obtaining or eating food.

What is fatigue?

100

This storage site is prioritized over the other.

What is muscle glycogen storage?

100

An athlete participates in 2 hours of high-intensity endurance exercise. Their target CHO amount per day would be this.

What is 6-10 g/kg/d?

100

What is meant by the phrase train low/compete high?

athletes should train with low glycogen stores and compete with high glycogen stores.

100

In healthy individuals, the replacement of lost fluids and maitance of fluid balance is regulated by

Thirst and urine loss

200

This usually occurs after a high-intensity exercise and will return after enough time has passed.

What is loss of appetite?

200

After this type of intensity workout, glycogen stores rapidly recover even without extra CHO feeding due to high levels of lactate.

What is high-intensity?

200

A basketball player practices free-throw shooting for about 45 minutes. This would be their target CHO amount for the day.

What is 3-5 g/kg/d?

200

What is meant by a chronically low carbohydrate diet?

Carbohydrate intake is less than the requirements for training 

200

Inorder to restore fluid balance, the amount of fluid consumed needs to be greater than what?

Sweat lost

300

This factor is more common when travelling.

What is limited access to food?

300

After this type of intensity workout, muscle glycogen stores must be replenished by CHO intake.

What is moderate-intensity?

300

A collegiate swimmer has a 2 hour practice in the morning (1 hour of weight lifting, one hour of swimming) and then has another 2 hour practice after classes in the afternoon (mostly swimming). This would be their target CHO for the day.

What is 8-12 g/kg/d?

300

What is periodised fueling?

The manipulation of carbohydrate availability on a day-to-day or even a meal-to-meal basis 

300

This electrolyte is lost through sweating, and is the most crucial to replace in terms of rehydration. What is the name of this electrolyte?

Sodium

400

This factor reduces the athlete's inhibition and impairs their judgement which can cause them to forget proper recovery eating strategies.

What is alcohol?

400

This dietary factor of muscle glycogen storage is considered the most important.

What is amount of CHO intake?

400

A tennis player practices with a ball machine for about an hour. They would need to hit this target of daily CHO.

What is 5-7 g/kg/d?

400

Name the downsides to training with low carbohydrate availability discussed  

Reduced ability to train

prolong the time it take for the body to return to baseline conditions

up-regulation of fat utilization and down regulation of CHO utilization


400

What percent of fluid lost do athletes need to consume to rehydrate?

100-150% 

500

This factor includes events such as school, work, and doctor's appointments.

What is other commitments (life)?

500

The highest rates of muscle glycogen storage occur during this time.

What is the 1st hour post-exercise?

500

A soccer player has an hour practice consisting of sprints and cone drills followed by a two hour scrimmage. They would benefit from the higher end of this daily CHO range.

What is 6-10 g/kg/d?

500

Training with low glycogen stores may increase the activation of signaling proteins that promote what?

Mitochondria biogenesis

500

The addition of these nutrients aids in the rehydration process 

protein and carbohydrates
