⩥What is the main glucose transport protein in the muscles that
responds to an increase insulin level after CHO ingestion? Answer:
GLUT 4
⩥When engaging in long durations of exercise (i.e. marathon runner),
how long will it take a marathon runner to recover muscle glycogen if
those stores were fully depleted during a race? Answer: 20-24 hours
⩥Keratin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate are all types of
________. Answer: Glucosaminoglycans
⩥Cellulose, pectin, and legnin are types of ________. Answer: fiber
⩥Insulin is produced by the ________ cell of the _________. Answer:
beta-cells, pancreas
⩥During a fasted state, the_______ is able to produce glucose through a
process called _________ and release it into circulation to prevent
hypoglycemia. Answer: liver, gluconeogenisis
,⩥What stores the most glycogen? Answer: Type II muscles
⩥Carbohydrate digestion (primarily monosaccharides) begins with
________ and then digestives juices later split the _______ bonds in
amylose. Answer: saliva, alpha1-4
⩥What is true about chondroitin sulfate? Answer: it is a
glycosaminoglycan, it is found in joints, it binds to water to maintain
fluid
⩥It is recommended for adult males under the age of 50 to consume
_______ g of fiber and adult females under the age of 50 to consume
______ g grams of fiber per day. Answer: 38; 25
⩥Which of the following is true in regards to the glycemic index?
Answer: white bread is the standard food, high glycemic foods will
increase glucose levels to a greater extent at a quicker rate, low glycemic
foods will increase blood glucose levels to a lesser extent and at a slower
rate
⩥lactose is a glucose molecule linked to a galactose and is primarily
found in milk Answer: true
,⩥according to research, 4-5 months of weight training or 8 weeks of
cycling training can increase glycogen stores in the muscle by nearly
36% Answer: true
⩥A reduction in a persons RER as a result from endurance training
suggests an adaptation occurs in the body that allows the muscle to
oxidize fatty acids during exercise Answer: true
⩥the ideal CHO sport drink would contain _______ % CHO and
athletes should drink this every ______ hour of endurance performance.
Answer: 6-8%; one
⩥What is true regarding glycogen loading? Answer: it is also known as
carb loading, it is used to enhance performance for when the time is
greater than 90 minutes, it can increase glycogen stores 50%, the classic
method involves depleting muscle glycogen stores for 3 days and then
loading for 3 days
⩥What would be recommended to minimize protein degradation?
Answer: consume CHO and protein immediately after exercise
⩥Glycogen depletion during exercise is associated with which of the
following? Answer: muscular fatigue and hypoglycemia
, ⩥athletes need to experiment with different pre, during, and post CHO
intake protocols in the days leading up to exercise so they can fuel
optimally for their competition Answer: true
⩥What is true regarding the BCAA's leucine, isoleucine, and valine?
Answer: they are unique among other EAAs for their roles in protein
metabolism as well as the ability to reduces DOMS
⩥Findings suggest that the faster digesting ______ protein is more
beneficial for skeletal muscle adaptations than the slower digesting
_______ protein. Answer: whey; casein
⩥After a bout of high intensity exercise that lasts for 60 minutes, in
order to achieve maximal protein synthesis, it would be optimal for the
athlete to Answer: drink whey protein combined with milk
⩥T or F: research suggests that essential amino acids are gram for gram
more anabolic (i.e. muscle protein synthetic response) than whole
protein (whey) Answer: true
⩥According to research, athletes consuming vegetarian diets relative to
athletes consuming meat-based protein diets are more likely to have
Answer: lower total body creatine levels
