Worksheet Answers
Exercise 1.
True-False. Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false by
circling + if true and O if false. It the statement is false, correct it in the space provided.
+ O 1. Optimal nutrition is necessary for both training and competition, however,
between these two situations nutrition for competition is far more important
than nutrition for training.
Nutrition for training is more important because more time is spent in
training than in competition.
+ O 2. The caloric intake goal for an active individual is to ingest sufficient calories
to match the caloric expenditures of normal daily activities plus training/
competition expenditures while maintaining optimal body weight and
composition.
+ O 3. Muscle fiber damage associated with exhaustive eccentric exercise stimulates
glycogen resynthesis in the damaged muscle when carbohydrate ingestion is
elevated.
Damage delays resynthesis for as long as 7–10 days despite elevated CHO
ingestion.
+ O 4. When the interval between exercise sessions is < 8 hr, carbohydrate ingestion
(50-100 g at a rate of 1.2 g.kgBW-1.hr-1) should begin as soon as practical (1530 min) after a hard workout and continue at that rate every 15-60 min until a

large meal including ~600-1000 kcal can be eaten to replenish glycogen
reserves and be maintained for at least 4-6 hr.
+ O 5. Glycogen resynthesis occurs at about 12-15% per hour under optimal conditions
such that complete recovery takes about 8 hr.
Glycogen resynthesis occurs at a rate of 5–6% per hour, requiring 17–20 h
for complete recovery.
+ O 6. Under optimal dietary conditions the relationship between blood lactate
concentration and glycogen resynthesis is direct and positive.
+ O 7. Excessive ingestion of carbohydrates (70-80%), especially high glycemic
carbohydrates, can result in high blood levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in
sedentary individuals, and is hence to be discouraged.
+ O 8. There is no substantive evidence that excessive ingestion of protein (>3g.kgBW1. -1
d ) by active individuals may have negative effects including increased blood
lipid levels, decreased bone calcium, and dehydration, but, in individuals with
preexisting liver or kidney abnormalities such an intake may lead to a further
deterioration in function.
+ O 9. The lower the percentage of fat ingested in a diet, the higher are physiological
and performance variables.
Too little fat (<20–30%) can cause decreases in physiological variables
and performance.

+ O 10. Vitamin supplementation in an adequately nourished and physically active
individual improves exercise performance, speeds up recovery and decreases
injuries.
There is no evidence for any of these claims.
+ O 11. Carbohydrate loading should be recommended for all competitors regardless
of the intensity and duration of the event.
Carbohydrate loading is recommended only for continuous endurance
.
events longer than 90 min at 65–85% V O2 max.
+ O 12. When the recovery time between exercise sessions is >8 hr the immediate
consumption of carbohydrate is not essential. As long as 7-10 g.kgBW-1 of CHO
is consumed at a rate of 50 g.hr-1 for 24 hr muscle and liver glycogen will be
replaced.
+ O 13. Beverages containing 2.5 –10% carbohydrate are absorbed by the body as
rapidly as water.
+ O 14. The USDA ChooseMyPlate recommended daily caloric energy intake is based
on sex, age and activity level. The average 20 yr old sedentary male and
Female are allotted 2600 and 2000 kcal, respectively, with an additional
400 kcal if the individual is active.
+ O 15. In general endurance trained individuals have a lower glycemic (and hence
lower insulin) response to food than untrained individuals.
+ O 16. Eating a larger portion of any food with a glycemic index produces a lower
glycemic load than a smaller portion.
Eating a larger portion of any food with a glycemic index produces a
Plowman & Smith: Exercise Physiology for Health, Fitness, and Performance, 4th ed. ©Lippincott
Williams & Wilkins, 2014
Page 3
higher glycemic load than a smaller portion.
+ O 17. The addition of amino acids and/or protein to an after exercise carbohydrate
feeding will increase muscle glycogen synthesis not matter how much
carbohydrate is ingested (g.kg-1.hr-1)
If sufficient CHO is present (>1.2 g kg−1 h−1) there is no additional
benefit; conversely if CHO ingestion is <1.2 g kg−1 h−1 the addition of amino
acids/protein can be beneficial.
+ O 18. The ingestion of fat in amounts >5% of total calories in meals after exercise
hinders glycogen resynthesis.
As long as meals ingested within hours after exercise contain large
amounts of CHO the addition of fat does not hinder muscle glycogen
replenishment.
+ O 19. Adequate fluid intake is important when ingesting either sports bars or
sports gels. This means at least 12-16 oz of water per packet or bar.
+ O 20. The performance benefits of the modified or short carbohydrate loading
techniques can be enhanced by combining either of them with fat loading.
Although muscle glycogen utilization is reduced during exercise when fat is
included there is no clear evidence of performance enhancement.
+ O 21. Carbohydrate feedings during exercise have been found to be beneficial when
taken in small amounts at 15-30 min intervals during endurance events
lasting longer than one hr but not during intermittent activities such as soccer
or field hockey.
Carbohydrate feedings taken in small amounts at 15- to 30-min intervals are
also beneficial during intermittent activities such as soccer or field hockey.

+ O 22. Male athletes or fitness participants are not susceptible to eating disorders.
Male athletes are vulnerable to eating disorders in the same sports as
females and the disorder is often expressed as muscle dysmorphia.
+ O 23. Foods that are a “good” source of a nutrient in a single serving generally
contain 10-19% of the recommended daily value for that nutrient.
+ O 24. Categories of sports drinks include Fluid/Electrolyte Replacement drinks,
Fluid/Fuel Replacement drinks, Energy drinks/ and Recovery/Replenishment
drinks.
Energy drinks are not sports drinks.
+ O 25, Cigarette smoking has been shown to impair the immediate (non-insulin
dependent) phase of muscle glycogen resynthesis.
Cigarette smoking impairs the insulin-dependent second phase, probably
due to a reduction in glucose uptake via GLUT4 transporters.
+ O 26. If supplemental protein is ingested, that protein should include both whey and
casein components. Casein elicits a sharp, rapid increase of plasma amino
acids while whey elicits a moderate, prolonged increase that is sustained for
hours.
Whey protein elicits a sharp, rapid increase of plasma AA, whereas casein
protein elicits a moderate, prolonged increase.
+ O 27. Low Glycemic Index (LGI) pre-event meals spare glucose during short
endurance events. However, the ingestion of high glycemic index (HGI) carbohydrateelectrolyte drinks during an endurance even cancels this effect and results in similar
substrate utilization no matter what CHO type (HGI or LGI) was ingested pre-event.

*Note: consuming all the high end values will put this individual well over the
recommended 2400 kcal. However, consuming all the low end values puts her slightly
under the recommended 2400 kcal. Actual intake must take into account the total caloric
cost of the activity (esp. relative to CHO intake per body weight) and not just the generic
estimate.
