How do you improve sport performance?
•
Training –
•
Nutrition – muscle development and repair
•
Recovery - includes rest and sleeping
Nutrition - Carbohydrates
•
Bodys primary source of energy for sport performance
•
Its is broken down into glucose !
energy
•
List the 2 categories and examples for each
•
1. COMPLEX include rice, bread, pasta, potato. ——> Slow release
•
2.SIMPLE include sugar, lollies, soft drinks. ——> Quick release
Carbohydrates
•
PRE event
•
Endurance athletes (over 90 mins) will ‘carbohydrate load’ to increase energy store in 3-5 days
leading up to event
•
CHO loading involves consuming 5 grams of CHO per kg of bodyweight
•
Calculate yours !
•
POST event
•
Athletes will consume simple carbohydrates immediately after an
event to refuel their carbohydrate energy stores
•
What type of CHO would athletes consume to refuel?
your weight x 5 = 62x5= 310kg of carbs per day
Nutrition - Protein
•
Protein is used to resynthesize and rebuild cells
•
Example – hair, nails, skin, muscles
•
Athlete requires 1-1.4g of protein per kg of bodyweight each day to repair &
rebuild muscles for sporting activities
•
Calculate yours !
•
Good Protein sources !
your weight x 1-1.4g = 62 x 1-1.4g= 62- 86.8g
meat, dairy and legumes.
Nutrition - Fats
•
Fats are used as a SECONDARY source of energy during sporting events
Type of Fat
Food examples
Saturated fats
Meat, dairy, palm oil
Unsaturated
Fish, nuts, avocado (recommend)
Trans fats
Processed foods
Discussion Question - Nutrition
•
1. Identify 2 key differences between Michael Phelps & The Rocks Diet
•
Phelps diet diet is more carbs and high calorie to gain energy but rock diet is
more protein to build muscles.
•
2. Discuss why their nutrition requirements would be different using the
examples mentioned above
Water vs drinks
•
Water is important for hydrating the body
•
2% body weight lost as sweat can impair performance
•
5% body weight lost as sweat can cause heat exhaustion
•
Sports drinks rehydrate the body as well as refuelling carbs and electrolytes
lost during performance
