According to your text, which of the following is NOT a valid reason to take a nutrient supplement? a. "I am a long-term alcoholic who just began a recovery and rehabilitation program." b. "I am a lacto-vegetarian who bleeds heavily during menstrual periods." c. "I am a middle-aged lacto-ovo-vegetarian man." d. "I am a senior citizen, and I eat much less than I used to in order to maintain my weight."
"I am a middle-aged lacto-ovo-vegetarian man." Controversy 7 (pages 269-275) contrasts the situations in which supplementation may be beneficial with those in which supplementation may be harmful. Because they consume a variety of animal and plant foods and don't omit any entire food groups from their diets, otherwise healthy lacto-ovo-vegetarians do not need supplements. Vegans, strict vegetarians who omit all animal foods from the diet, need supplements of vitamin B12, vitamin D (unless they get year-round sun exposure), iron and zinc.

Exertional hyponatremia:
- Attempt to differentiate between hyponatremia and heat exhaustion. Hyponatremia is characterized by increasing headache, significant mental compromise, altered consciousness, seizures, lethargy, and swelling in the extremities. The athlete may be dehydrated, normally hydrated, or overhydrated. - Attempt to differentiate between hyponatremia and heat stroke. In hyponatremia, hyperthermia is likely to be less (rectal temperature less than 40C [104F]). The plasmasodium level is less than 130 mEq/L and can be measured with a sodium analyzer on site if the device is available. - If hyponatremia is suspected, immediate transfer to an emergency medical center via the emergency medical system is indicated. An intravenous line should be placed to administer medication as needed to increase sodium levels, induce diuresis, and control seizures. - An athlete with suspected hyponatremia should not be administered fluids until a physician is consulted.
Vitamin E
- helps prevent free radicals from entering the cell -red blood cells -triple R "tocopherol" -principle role is to serve as an antioxidant in the cell membrane
athletic amenorrhea
-"secondary amenorrhea" -associated with osteoporosis -cessation of menses for prolonged periods -sign of disturbed hormonal status -associated with disordered eating -anorexia nervosa
Vit. E deficiency
--Is rare -May result from genetic deficiency to absorb fat -May be from low fat diets PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE: -Anemia
Bioavailability
-10-35% of it absorbed from intestines (liver, heart, lean meats, oysters, clams, and dark poultry meat) most absorbable form of iron
How do deficiencies or excess of vitamins influence health/performance
-4 stages of vitamin deficiency -preliminary, biochemical, physiological, clinically manifest deficiency stage
Body composition influenced by:
-Age, sex, diet, level of physical activity
Exercise-associated muscle (heat) cramps
-An athlete showing signs or symptoms including dehydration, thirst, sweating, transient muscle cramps, and fatigue is likely experiencing exercise-associated muscle (heat) cramps. -To relieve muscle spasms, the athlete should stop activity, replace lost fluids with sodium-containing fluids, and begin mild stretching with massage of the muscle spasm. - Fluid absorption is enhanced with sports drinks that contain sodium. A high-sodium sports product may be added to the rehydration beverage to prevent or relieve cramping in athletes who lose large amounts of sodium in their sweat. A simple salted fluid consists of two 10-grain salt tablets dissolved in 1 L (34 oz) of water. - Intravenous fluids may be required if nausea or vomiting limits oral fluid intake these must be ordered by a physician. - A recumbent position may allow more rapid redistribution of blood flow to cramping leg muscles.
Where to find Vit A
-Animal foods, liver, butter, fortified milk -Beta-carotene in dark green, yellow/orange, veggies, some fruits
Vit E Supplementation: effects on health
-Antioxidants theorized to help prevent heart disease and cancer

Vit. B6 function
-Coenzyme for protein metabolism -Neurotrans formation -Glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis
Exercise (heat) exhaustion
-Cognitive changes are usually minimal, but assess central nervous system function for bizarre behavior, hallucinations, altered mental status, confusion, disorientation, or coma to rule out more serious conditions. - If feasible, measure body-core temperature (rectal temperature) and assess cognitive function and vital signs. Rectal temperature is the most accurate method possible in the field to monitor body-core temperature. - The ATC should not rely on the oral, tympanic, or axillary temperature for athletes because these are inaccurate and ineffective measures of body-core temperature during and after exercise. - If the athlete's temperature is elevated, remove his or her excess clothing to increase the evaporative surface and to facilitate cooling. - Cool the athlete with fans, ice towels, or ice bags because these may help the athlete with a temperature of more than 38.8C (102F) to feel better faster. - Remove the athlete to a cool or shaded environment if possible. - Start fluid replacement. - Transfer care to a physician if intravenous fluids are needed or if recovery is not rapid and uneventful.

Heat syncope:
-If an athlete experiences a brief episode of fainting associated with dizziness, tunnel vision, pale or sweaty skin, and a decreased pulse rate but has a normal rectal temperature (for exercise, 36C to 40C [97F to 104F]), then heat syncope is most likely the cause. -Move the athlete to a shaded area, monitor vital signs, elevate the legs above the level of the head, and rehydrate.
How fat is depositied in body

Exertional heat stroke:
-Measure the rectal temperature if feasible to differentiate between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. With heat stroke, rectal temperature is elevated (generally higher than 40C [104F]) - Assess cognitive function, which is markedly altered in exertional heat stroke. - Lower the body-core temperature as quickly as possible. The fastest way to decrease body temperature is to remove clothes and equipment and immerse the body (trunk and extremities) into a pool or tub of cold water (approximately 1C to 15C [35F to 59F]). Aggressive cooling is the most critical factor in the treatment of exertional heat stroke. Circulation of the tub water may enhance cooling. - Monitor the temperature during the cooling therapy and recovery (every 5 to 10 minutes). Once the athlete's rectal temperature reaches approximately 38.3C to 38.9C (101F to 102F), he or she should be removed from the pool or tub to avoid overcooling. - If a physician is present to manage the athlete's medical care on site, then initial transportation to a medical facility may not be necessary so immersion can continue uninterrupted -If a physician is not present, aggressive first-aid cooling should be initiated on site and continued during emergency medical system transport and at the hospital until the athlete is normo-thermic. - Activate the emergency medical system. - Monitor the athlete's vital signs and other signs and symptoms of heat stroke - During transport and when immersion is not feasible, other methods can be used to reduce body temperature: removing the clothing; sponging down the athlete with cool water and applying cold towels; applying ice bags to as much of the body as possible, especially the major vessels in the armpit, groin, and neck; providing shade; and fanning the body with air. - In addition to cooling therapies, first-aid emergency procedures for heat stroke may include airway management. Also a physician may decide to begin intravenous fluid replacement. - Monitor for organ-system complications for at least 24 hours.

Develop event and practice guidelines for hot, humid weather that anticipate potential problems encountered based on the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) or heat and humidity as measured by a sling psychrometer the number
of participants, the nature of the activity, and other predisposing risk factors. If the WBGT is greater than 28C (82F, or ''very high''), an athletic event should be delayed, rescheduled, or moved into an air-conditioned space, if possible. It is important to note that these measures are based on the risk of environmental stress for athletes wearing shorts and a T-shirt; if an athlete is wearing additional clothing (i.e., football uniform, wetsuit, helmet), a lower WBGT value could result in comparable risk of environmental heat stress. If the event or practice is conducted in hot, humid conditions, then use extreme caution in monitoring the athletes and be proactive in taking preventive steps. In addition, be sure that emergency supplies and equipment are easily accessible and in good working order. The most important factors are to limit intensity and duration of activity, limit the amount of clothing and equipment worn, increase the number and length of rest breaks, and encourage proper hydration. Modify activity under high-risk conditions to prevent exertional heat illnesses. Identify individuals who are susceptible to heat illnesses. In some athletes, the prodromal signs and symptoms of heat illnesses are not evident before collapse, but in many cases, adept medical supervision will allow early intervention.

Anthony is a 42-year-old male who recently lost 50 pounds by increasing his exercise and eating small, frequent meals. Now that he is in a weight-maintenance phase, his trainer recommends doing exercise for 90 minutes per day, most days of the week, at 60-70% of his maximum heart rate. How many heartbeats per minute is 60-70% of his max heart rate?
→ 107-125 beats per minute • To find maximum heart rate, subtract age from 220: 220-42=178. To determine 60-70% max heart rate, multiply 178 by 60-70%=107-125 beats per minute.
