Optimal nutrition %s/amounts
PROTEIN = 4cal/g 10-15% or .8g/kg but for aerobic athletes can go to 1.4g/kg Heavy resistance can go to 1.8g/kg - 2.7g/kg NEVER above 4g/kg with renal dysfunction FIBER 38g for men and 25g for women CARBS = 4cal/g 45-65% Aerobic athletes need 7-10g/kg carbs. FAT = 9cal/g 20-35% (<10% from saturated fats) 5-10% from omega-6 fatty acids and .6-1.2% from omega-3 fatty acids
How to increase load (amount of weight)
SMALL Upper: 2.5-5lbs Lower: 5-10lbs LARGE Upper: 5-10lbs Lower: 10-15lbs
Muscle types in order of power
Type IIb > Type IIx > Type IIa > Type I
The Fick Equation
VO2 = Q X A-VO2 DIFF Q = CO A-VO2 diff = oxygen extraction
Describe ZAHMI
Z = z-line: termination of sarcomere, actin anchors A = A-band: entire length of myosin filament (actin+myosin overlap) H = h-zone: only myosin present (middle space between i-bands) M = m-line: anchor for myosin I = i-band: are where only actin is present (space where only actin; between z-line & myosin)
EPOC
excess post exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) At start of exercise, some power supplied anaerobically and need to make up for that after stop of exercise via EPOC.
HGH
protein secreted from anterior pituitary gland. -Maintain blood glucose levels -Increase uptake of glucose and amino acids into muscle cells -Stimulates release of fatty acids from fat cells.
Sliding Filament Theory
myosin (thick) heads pull on actin (thin) filaments at each end of sarcomere and cause muscle shortening.
