Summary

These lecture notes cover sports nutrition, focusing on different aspects like performance-influencing factors, key terms, and recommendations. Topics discussed include carbohydrate loading, protein intake, and the importance of pre- and post-exercise meals. This document is a comprehensive resource for students interested in sports nutrition, potentially for an undergraduate course in sports science or similar.

Sports Nutrition Le9 By: Dr. Awatif Almehmadi Performance Influencing Factors Genetics Training & conditioning Nutrition Key Terms Exercise Physiology: Science of the response and Sports Nutrition: Integration and application of adaptation of bodily systems to the challenge imposed by scientifically based nutrition and exercise physiology movement. principles that support and enhance training, performance, and recovery. Key Terms 2 Physical Activity:bodily Exercise: physical activity movement resulting that is planned, in an increase in structured, and purposive. energy expenditure above resting levels. Sport: competitive physical activities. Nutrition: Science of ingestion, digestion, absorption, metabolism and biochemical functions of nutrients Sports that encourage Gaining weight Weight/ Body Sprinting power lifting building American Rugby Judo football Wrestling Sumo Boxing Determinants of the Athlete’s Energy Requirements During intense exercise During prolonged exercise Glycogen stored in muscles and liver is Fat stores are predominant fuel source predominant fuel source, followed by fat stores Now estimate your physical activity score In general, athletes do not require a special diet or Nutrition supplements for Athletes Even in resistance training and body building, protein in excess of 20% of daily energy intake is not needed Recommendations Carbohydrate intake Carbohydrate loading Protein intake Fat intake Pre/post -exercise meal Simple (sugars) and Complex (starches) Major fuel source for exercising muscle Athletes should 60 to 70% of total calories should come from carbohydrates Complex carbohydrates (starches) are preferable ! Why Complex Carbohydrates? Compared to sugars, starches are better as a pre- exercise meal because they: Increase muscle glycogen stores better. Improve performance and delay fatigue. Lead to lower blood sugar and insulin levels. Promote faster stomach emptying. Provide other beneficial nutrients fiber, vitamins and minerals. Importance Less hunger during and after exercise Maintains optimum glycogen stores Pre Recommendations workout Emphasize complex carbohydrates Meal (starches) Avoid high fat and high protein foods Slower gastric emptying can cause stomach upset Avoid high fiber or gas forming foods which can lead to crampy abdominal pain Post workout : Toreplace muscle glycogen stores Toprevent gradual depletion of muscle glycogen stores over time caused by repetitive daily bouts of heavy exercise Todecrease muscle breakdown Amount of glycogen stored in muscle tissue can be increased greatly through carbohydrate loading Carbohydrate Increases the body’s pre-exercise glycogen stores Loading by 50 to 100% Benefits endurance athletes who compete for longer than 90 minutes Can increase Can increase Diet should be endurance up to performance by 2 altered 20% to 3% Carbohydrate Loading: One Example Days prior to event Exercise duration Carbohydrate intake 6 90 minutes 5 gm/kg/day 5 40 minutes 5 gm/kg/day 4 40 minutes 5 gm/kg/day 3 20 minutes 10 gm/kg/day 2 20 minutes 10 gm/kg/day 1 rest 10 gm/kg/day Carbohydrate loading strategies Untrained athletes Trained athletes Depletion phase Depletion phase unnecessary.
