Carb Loading Update CHO loading was first studied in the early 1960’s Vigorous exercise of 1-3 days followed by 3 days of rest accompanied simultaneous dietary manipulation of low and high carbohydrates. Various protocols had mixed results with some responding while others did not. The theory that super compensating glycogen stores would provide biochemical advantage Performance was not always improved and sometimes (loading CHO) it was harmful.
Carb Loading UpdateEarly Problems • Marked dietary changes prior to competition were hard to follow • Major dietary changes often disrupt GI rhythm leading to gas, bloating and stool changes. • Exercise increases (to deplete glycogen) so close to competition altered established tapers. • Increased injuries from glycogen depleting exercise.
In the 1980’s 3-4 days of exercise taper followed by 3 high CHO days made the process much more practical. Research then showed depletion exercise was not required to super-compensate contractile tissues and, once elevated, would remain so for 3-5 days provided calories were adequate & activity was low In a 2002 study, 1 day of inactivity with a high (10g/kg/bw) CHO intake of high glycemic index CHO’s elevated glycogen 90% with no additional benefit with 2 more days. Sedlock, D., The Latest Carbohydrate Loading: A Practical Approach. Cur. Sports Med. Reports 2008; 7(4) 209-13 4 Carb Loading Improvements
Glycogen super-compensation can remain elevated for up to 5 days. For each gram of stored glycogen, 3-5 grams of water are stored. The type of CHO is less important than the amount of CHO. Events must be at least 90 minutes for any benefit. Sedlock, D., The Latest Carbohydrate Loading: A Practical Approach. Cur. Sports Med. Reports 2008; 7(4) 209-13 Carb Loading 2009 - Summary
10 Subjects consumed a CHO-protein drink on 3 occasions under 2 conditions (rest or exercise) with 3 types of protein. Protein types were Casein 100%, Whey 100% & Casein-Whey 85-15% Drinks all had 19 gm protein, 76 gm CHO & 2 gm fat. Measurements were taken at rest after 3 different drinks and after 60 minutes of exercise with 3 different drinks (6 weeks total) Results Protein type had no impact on post prandial A.A. concentration after rest or exercise.

Sport Drinks & Protein- Is it the Protein or Calories? • Adding small amounts of protein to CHO-Electrolyte (E) drinks is superior to traditional CHO-E drinks for cyclists. • In most trials the added protein means the comparison is not isocaloric. • 11 trained cyclists completed 4 rides to exhaustion in a double blind randomized fashion. • Every 15 minutes the subjects drank 250 ml. (8.45 oz.) of 1 of 4 drinks. • Placebo, 7.75% CHO-E 9.69% CHO-E 7.75% CHO 1.94% Protein. • Blood was drawn before, ~8 hours after and ~24 hours after each round of the trial.

Beta-Alanine • Beta-alanine is the only natural occurring AA in beta form • It is the rate limiting molecule for Carnosine synthesis • Carnosine is a dipeptide which buffers hydrogen ions. Muscles contain most of the bodies carnosine • Ample carnosine allows muscles to buffer hydrogen ions produced during contraction. • The more hydrogen we buffer, the more work we can do before the ‘burn’ stops us. • Carnosine (also composed of histidine) is not absorbed well and is best elevated by increasing Beta-alanine which is absorbed well and, because of the Beta group is not incorporated into other proteins. 17
Beta Alanine with Resistance Exercise • Double Blind trial with resistance trained subjects • 4 weeks of 4.8 grams of Beta Alanine or placebo. • 6 sets of 12 reps of squats with blood draws at baseline, after exercise and 30 minutes after exercise. • Protocol was repeated for 4 weeks with a second test. • Results: 4 weeks of B.A. increased reps by 22%. No changes in growth hormone, testosterone or cortisol levels. J.R. Hoffman, N.A. Ratamess et. al Effects of B-Alanine Supplementation on the Acute Hormonal Response to Resistance Exercise. Med. Sci.

Caffeine Regular use can build intolerance and dependency. Addicts will suffer from withdrawal headaches + brain fog, fatigue. Side effects may include insomnia, nervousness, elevated heartbeat, and headaches. Caffeine is not a diuretic. (under 600mg) Some report better results and improvement during an athletic event when they have abstained for 48 hours. 19
CaffeineContinued Increases time to exhaustion in both endurance exercise and in shorter, higher intensity activities Studies are negative for events lasting under 1 minute Can improve concentration Can increase speed of reaction (i.e., a shorter time to react) Increases strength of contraction Improves ventilation in asthmatics A vasoconstrictor, it can relieve headaches 20
Caffeine • Mobilization of free fatty acids – it blocks enzymes that breakdown C-AMP • Higher C-AMP increases lipolysis allowing preservation of glycogen • Reduction of potassium gradient run down • Stimulation of CNS motor control • Increase neurotransmitter release • Increase motor unit firing rates • Translocation of calcium to a more favorable membrane position for excitation – contraction coupling in skeletal muscle • Binds to adenosine receptors which prevents adenosine from causing drowsiness thus improving alertness.

Caffeine Improves Sprint Times 21 males (age 18-21) participated in a double blind trial preceded by establishing a baseline. Subjects took 5 mg/kg/bw caffeine or placebo 1 hour prior to sprint testing. Test was 12 sprints of 30 meters with a 35 second break after each run and repeated 4-5 days later with the opposite treatment.
Caffeine Improves Sprint Times RESULTS • 20/21 had their fastest sprint time with caffeine. • 9/21 were able to ID which trial they took caffeine. • There was a placebo effect, with mean times faster than baseline. (But slower than caffeine) • Caffeine’s effect decreased in later stages (6-12) Glaister, M., Howatson,G., Abraham, C.S., et al. Caffeine Supplementation and Multiple Sprint Running Preformance.

Intense Resistance Exercise Can Lower Post-Prandial Blood Lipids 10 males (ages 21-30) performed 3 two day trials. Day 1 was one of three routines; no exercise, moderate exercise, or intense exercise followed by a 50-35-15 (%CPF) meal @ 5 cal/kg bodyweight Day 2 was identical in all 3 trials. 15.5 hours after exercise (or rest) subjects returned for morning meal 25-11-64 (%CPF) meal @ 20 cal/kg bodyweight. Venous samples were taken before and 3 hours after the meal.
Intense Resistance Exercise Can Lower Post-Prandial Blood Lipidscontinued Moderate resistance exercise was 3 sets of 16 reps of 10 exercises @ weight of 50% of 8 rep max. Intense resistance exercise was 3 sets of 8 reps of 10 exercises @ a weight of 100% of 8 rep max. Meals for 70 kg (154lb) subject averaged 350 calories post-exercise and 1400 calories the next morning. RESULTS High intensity R.E. the day before lowered post-prandial lipids following high calorie, high fat breakfast. Moderate intensity of equal work had no effect on post-prandial lipids.

Energy Patch Science Claims Organic nanoscale biomolecular antennas are imbedded in a matched pair of patches. They are placed on the skin in two locations. The patches emit a frequency that resonates in unison with intracellular biomolecules. These biorhythms are able to signal metabolic pathways causing a shift of substrate to fat utilization by activation of Beta-oxidation. This enables greater ability to use fat for fuel thus spares glycogen. Smith, D., Jacobson,B., Fedick, J. et. Al. The Effect of Energy Patches on Graded Exercise Test Performance in College Male Cross-Country Runners. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc. 2008; 40(5) A-2269 S418 33
Energy Patch Experiment - Males 14 collegiate cross country males were measured in the laboratory. Oxygen consumption, respiratory exchange ratio, rate of perceived exertion, heart rate and time to exhaustion were measured in a baseline test, with energy patches and with placebo patches. Results There were no differences between placebo and active patches in any of the measured variables. This included no change in fat utilization. Smith, D., Jacobson,B., Fedick, J. et. Al.

Athletic Cramping Exercise associated muscle cramps (EAMC) is an umbrella term that describes any cramp sustained during a workout, practice, training or competition. Ask a health professional ‘what causes EAMC?’ and most likely a debate will ensue. Ask a grocer ‘What color is fruit?’ and he will reply ‘What kind of fruit?’
