Exercise Physiology
The energy currency of the body.
What is ATP?
The most readily digestible macronutrient.
What are carbohydrates?
What is 50%-70%?
Some common nutritional mistakes.
What are Focusing on weight alone, Eating infrequently, Unnecessary micronutrient supplementation, Failing to maintain adequate hydration status, Excessive energy restriction?
The proteins (filaments) that slide/overlap during muscle contraction.
What are actin and myosin?
An assumption that eating
more carbohydrates helps
muscles store more
carbohydrates in the form of
glycogen.
What is carloading?
A state of "normal" body water content
What is Euhydration?
The macronutrient to be taken along with carbs to aid in glycogen replenishment.
What is protein?
Stroke Volume times Heart Rate
What is Cardiac Output?
A general rule regarding pre competition meals.
An abnormally low
concentration of blood
sodium (less than 135
mmol/L).
What is Hyponatrimia?
Calorie and
macronutrient intakes vary based on the training
regimen
What is a periodized nutrition program?
Glycogen in the muscle and liver.
What is the stored form of glucose/carbohydrate?
The amount of liquid carbs to be consumed per hour during long-duration exercise.
The action of the blood vessels in response to decreased core temperature.
What is peripheral vasoconstriction?
This type of activity Relies heavily on phosphagen
system and anaerobic
glycolysis.
What are strength sports?
The primary energy system in use during the first 10-15 seconds of exercise.
The maximum rate of carbohydrate absorption.
The hormone released by the pituitary gland in response to an elevated core temperature.
What is antidiuretic hormone (ADH)?
The amount of protein recommended for recovery and repair of damaged muscle tissue.
What is 1.2-1.4 g/kg per day?
