18. CARBOHYDRATES
19. PROTEIN Protein is not a major source of energy
Active people need more protein than the RDA
However
Most people already consume more than the RDA
Excess protein is stored as fat
High protein in the diet can cause dehydration and stress to the kidneys
20. PROTEIN RDA (average sedentary)
= 0.4 grams per pound (8% total calories)
= 0.8 grams/kilogram
Resistance training
= up to 0.8 g per pound (15% total calories)
= 1.8 g per kg per day
Endurance training
= up to 0.6 g per pound (10% total calories)
= 1.4 g per kg per day
21. PROTEIN
22. PROTEIN Protein should be consumed post-exercise to aid in muscle recovery and repair.
A small dose (0.1 g/kg) every 1-2 hours for 6 hours will promote a positive balance or anabolic state
Example: 170 lbs = 7.7 grams (~1 cup of milk)
Tuna, peanut butter, etc.
Adequate carbohydrate intake is needed to provided the energy for muscle repair and growth (4:1 ratio)
23. ANAEROBIC ENERGY SUMMARY Carbohydrate: The Energy King
Fruits, Vegetables, and Whole Grains
Protein: Building and Repair

Active people may need up to 2000 kcals of carbohydrate or more.
29. CARBOHYDRATES Sedentary: 55-60% of total calories
Only 10 percent should be from sugar
Active: 60-70% of total calories

36. CARBS: DURING EXERCISE DISCONTINUOUS EXERCISE
High-carbohydrate, pre-exercise meals improve exercise capacity.

39. CARBS: DURING EXERCISE
40. CARBS: DURING EXERCISE
41. FATS DURING EXERCISE Glycogen sparing
42. FAT BURNING SUPPLEMENTS Caffeine
Chromium
Carnitine
Clenbuterol
43. CAFFEINE 1. Moderate doses of caffeine ingested 1 h prior to exercise enhance the performance of certain types of endurance exercise in the laboratory.
2. Caffeine ingestion increases plasma free-fatty acid concentrations and muscle triglyceride use and spares muscle glycogen.
3. Caffeine appears to enhance performance during short-term, intense cycling lasting ~5 min in the laboratory and in simulated 1500 m race time.
4. Potential mechanisms for improving performance during intense exercise lasting 5-20 min include direct effects of caffeine on the central nervous system and/or excitation-contraction coupling and increased anaerobic energy provision in skeletal muscle.
44. CHROMIUM Chromium is an essential trace mineral.
It has an extremely low gastrointestinal absorption rate, so supplement manufacturers have bound chromium with picolinate (CrPic) to increase the absorption and bioavailability.
Chromium seems to function as a co-factor that enhances the action of insulin.
Promoters of CrPic claim it increases glycogen synthesis, improves glucose tolerance and lipid profiles, and increases amino acid incorporation in muscle.
45. CHROMIUM Early researchers demonstrated anabolic-steroid-like effects with dosages of 200 mg/day.
More recent studies failed to demonstrate any significant improvement in percent body fat, lean body mass, or strength.
Most studies of CrPic supplementation reveal no side effects except gastrointestinal intolerance with dosages of 50 to 200 micrograms/day for less than 1 month.
The use of chromium picolinate supplementation as an ergogenic aid should be strongly discouraged.
46. CARNITINE Carnitine: found in meats and dairy products and synthesized from lysine and methionine.
Theory: Increases free fatty acid transport across mitochondrial membranes, carnitine may increase fatty acid oxidation and utilization for energy.
Early studies showed an ergogenic effect.
47. CARNITINE A more controlled study by Vuchovich et al failed to demonstrate any glycogen-sparing effect or reductions in lactate levels while supplementing with 6 g/day of L-carnitine.
Finally, many currently available supplements actually contain D-carnitine, which is physiologically inactive in humans but may cause significant muscle weakness through mechanisms that deplete L-carnitine in tissues.
Carnitine should not be advocated as an ergogenic supplement.
48. CARBS: AFTER EXERCISE NEEDS
Replace glycogen in muscles and liver
Protein for muscle repair
49. CARBS: AFTER EXERCISE
50. AFTER EXERCISE CARBOHYDRATES & PROTEIN
A total of 50-100 grams of CHO and 10-20 grams of protein.
Repeated with a ~4:1 ratio of CHO & protein every 1-2 hours until next meal
51. AEROBIC ENERGY SUMMARY High carbohydrate intake before exercise
120-240 kcals per hour if exercise longer than 60 minutes
4:1 ratio of carbohydrate and protein every 1-2 hours after exercise
52. FLUIDS
53. BEFORE EXECISE Get hydrated
Drink extra fluids the day before
16-24 ounces, 2 hours before exercise
8-16 ounces 5-10 minutes before
Know your stomach
Try new fluids/foods during the off-season or with training workouts
54. DURING EXERCISE Needs from fluids:
Water to off-set dehydration
Energy, if exercise longer than 1 hour
Electrolytes, if exercising in hot, humid conditions
55. FLUIDS WATER
Sweat rates of 1-2 liters per hour
Maximal absorption of fluids is less than maximal sweat rates
Therefore, high sweat rates lead to dehydration (lose 2-5 lbs per hour)
Fatigue
Hyperthermia
56. FLUIDS
57. FLUIDS ENERGY (sugar)
Most sport drinks contain some form of sugar (sucrose, glucose, corn syrup, polymers, etc.)
Recommendation: 6-8% solution of sugar
No difference in the effectiveness of different sugars
58. FLUIDS ELECTROLYTES
Na, Cl, & K but sweat also contains traces of amino acids, HCO3, CO2, Cu, glucose, hormones, Fe, lactic acid, Mg, N, PO4, urea, vitamins and Zn.
Sodium is the only one that may possibly need to be replaced during exercise
59. FLUIDS OTHER INGREDIENTS
Vitamins
Minerals
Caffeine
Herbs
etc
60. FLUIDS WATER v. SPORT DRINKS

Isoflavens (soybeans
Polyphenols (grapes)
Also, varying bioactivity
67. HYPONATREMIA Low blood sodium a.k.a. water intoxication
Caused by drinking large quantities of water during events longer than 4 hours
Na lost in sweat and remaining Na becomes diluted due to large water intake
Can be lethal - cerebral edema.
68. ENERGY DRINKS GATORADE SPORT SCIENCE EXCHANGE
"ENERGY" DRINKS: HELP, HARM OR HYPE?
Many products marketed as energy drinks contain high concentrations of carbohydrate and some caffeine.
Some energy drinks contain herbs, amino acids, protein, and other substances, usually in such small amounts that they are unlikely to have any noticeable effect on performance.
The content of some of these products may result in inefficient absorption of fluid and nutrients from the intestine, with the possibility of gastrointestinal distress.
Many energy drinks are quite costly and, because of their composition, are not suitable for use by athletes.
Athletes should be educated about these products and guided towards other foods and fluids that will not pose potential risks.
70. CAFFEINE GATORADE SPORTS SCIENCE EXCHANGE
CAFFEINE AND EXERCISE PERFORMANCE
Caffeine appears to enhance performance during short-term, intense cycling lasting ~5 min in the laboratory and in simulated 1500 m race time.
However, positive ergogenic effects of caffeine are much less frequent during sprint exercise lasting less than 90 s and in incremental exercise tests lasting 8-20 min.
(continue)
71. CAFFEINE Moderate doses of caffeine (6 mg/kg body weight) ingested 1 h prior to exercise enhance endurance exercise.
Increases plasma free-fatty acid concentrations and muscle triglyceride use and spares muscle glycogen.
Diuretic factor
Caffeinated diet-cola retains 50-60%
Water = 60-70%
Sport drink = 65-75%
79. CONCLUSIONS Active people require a diet high in carbohydrate.
Low carb diets (e.g. Atkins diet) are not designed for active people.
Most healthy food guides are also high in carbohydrates and very compatible with the needs of active people.
However, active people should focus on low glycemic index carbs (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) for meals and snacks between workouts
When needed, high glycemic index carbs (sugars) should be consumed during exercise and in the few hours after exercise.
