OUTLINE
Physical activity & Beginning an Exercise Program
Fuel Types for Exercise
Fuel Requirements for Exercise
Physical Fitness

“The ability to perform moderate to
vigorous activity without undue
fatigue”
 Fat
usage by the body
– Increased physical fitness means
improved usage of fat for energy
Benefits of Physical Activity
Nutrition and Physical Activity

Only 15% of adults are regularly physically
active (U.S.)
NUTRITION (intake)
Physical Performance
Nutrient Use
Beginning an Exercise Program







Start out slowly
Vary your workout—Make it fun
Include others—Keep accountable (notebook/log)
Set attainable goals (min. 6 weeks)
Set aside specific time (daily or weekly)
Reward yourself
Focus on long-term and not on occasional
setbacks
2005 Dietary Guidelines for
Americans

30 minutes/day physical activity 3X /week
– Reduce risk of chronic disease

60 minutes/day physical activity, 3X /week
– Manage body weight and prevent weight gain

90 minutes/day physical activity, 3X /week
– Sustain considerable weight loss
Challenge Question

What is your target heart rate zone?
Target heart rate zone is the Heart beats/ min (based on age)
that you are trying to maintain during spec. exercise

How do you calculate it?
220-(age) = ? (0.6 –low end) – (0.9 –high end)

Why does it matter?
If you are interested in burning more fat
(need the aerobic “oxygen zone” –low end, ~120 beats/min)
Light jog or brisk walking, weight lifting, swimming
If you want to improve cardiovascular (Heart health)
focus on anAerobic (high output end 180 beats/min) e.g. running,
OUTLINE
Physical activity & Beginning an Exer. Program
Fuel Types for types of Exercise
Fuel Requirements for Exercise
Fuel for Muscle Work
ATP
 Chemical energy

– Used by cells for muscle contractions

Only small amount is stored in resting cells
– 2-4 seconds worth of work

Other sources of energy are needed
Phosphocreatine (PCr)

High-energy compound
– Formed and stored in muscle cells
PCr + ADP

Cr + ATP
Activated instantly
– Replenishes ATP

Sustains ATP (work) for a few minutes
Anaerobic Glycolysis



Limited oxygen—Intense physical activity
(running)
Pyruvate is converted to lactate
Produces 2 ATP per glucose
– ~5% of energy potential

Replenishes ATP quickly

Cannot sustain ATP production
– 30 seconds to 2 minutes of work

Lactate build-up (soreness)
– Changes acidity that inhibits glycolysis enzymes
Aerobic Glycolysis
Plenty of oxygen available (talk test)
 Low to moderate intensity (jogging)
 Produces 36-38 ATP per glucose

– 95% of energy potential
ATP replenished slowly
 Sustained ATP production

– 2 minutes to 3 hours of work
– Best for burning fat
Glucose Utilization
Glycolysis
Sugar burning
No Oxygen
“No talking”
Running
Citric Acid Cycle
Fat Burning
<jogging
Glycogen
Temporary storage of glucose in liver and
muscle
 Muscle glycogen

– Used only by that muscle
Liver glycogen released into bloodstream
 During low to moderate intensity

– Can sustain work for up to 2 hours

“Bonking” running/ jogging along –
– “hit the wall”
– Depleted glycogen
– Work at ~50% of maximal capacity
ATP Formation
2 ATPs
NEED ~ min. 20 Minutes
Before Fat burning ensues
Recommend 40-60 min 3X week
sustained exercise
Glycolysis
Sugar burning
No Oxygen
“No talking”
Running
28-32 ATP
Citric Acid Cycle/ETC
Fat Burning
<jogging
Maintaining Normal Blood
Glucose Level

Important
– For activity lasting longer than 20-30 minutes

Intake of 30-60 gm carbohydrates per hour
– During strenuous endurance activity
– Delays fatigue by 30-60 minutes
34 grams
Fat Fuel (Fatty Acid)
Majority of stored energy in the body
 Fatty acids

– Converted to ATP by muscle cells

12 ATP produced
– Per each turn of the Citric Acid Cycle
– 108 ATP for each 16 C fatty acid chain!!!!!!!!!

Trained muscles
– Have more mitochondria
– Have greater ability to use fat as fuel
– The more trained muscles respiring, the more fat burned
– Advocate full body workout(s): dancing, swimming, biking,
jogging, yoga, weightlifting, brisk walking, sports
Fat Fuel
 Rate
of fat use
– Dependent on concentration of fatty acids
in the bloodstream
 Prolonged
exercise >>20 min
– Fat becomes main fuel source
 Intense
activity (e.g. sprinting)
– Fat is not a major source of fuel
– Requires more oxygen for aerobic
breakdown (than glucose)
Protein—Minor Source of Fuel

During rest and low/moderate exercise
– Provides 2%-5% of energy needs

During endurance exercise
– Provides 10%-15% of energy needs
Branched-chain amino acids provide most
of the energy (Leu, Isoleu, Val)
 Average diet

– Provides ample amount of these amino acids
– Supplements not needed (usually)
Fuel Use During Physical Activity
OUTLINE
Physical activity & Beginning an Exer. Program
Fuel Types for types of Exercise
Fuel Requirements for Exercise
Calorie Needs
Individual needs vary
 Monitoring weight and body fat

– If weight falls, increase intake
– If body fat increases, cut back in fat
(& kcal) and maintain activity
Desirable body fat for male athletes:
5%- 18%
 Desirable body fat for female athletes:
17%-28%

Carbohydrate Needs
Main fuel for many types of activity
 Consume ~60% of total kcal from
carbohydrate
> 5 gm of carbohydrate/kg body weight
 Aerobic and endurance athletes

– 7-10 gm carbohydrates/kg body weight
– ~ 500-600 gm of carbohydrates/day
Carbohydrate Loading
 Events
lasting longer than 60-90
minutes
 Maximize glycogen stores
 Tapering of exercise while
increasing carbohydrate intake
 Additional water weight

Fat Needs
 ~35%
of total kcal (runner, otherwise
much less . .
 Rich in monounsaturated fats
 Limit saturated fats
 Limit trans fat
Protein Needs

Recommend 1.0 - 1.6 gm protein/kg body weight

Up to 1.7 gm/km body weight for athletes beginning
strength training

Needs are easily met by a normal diet ~ sort of
– Major Protein supplements are not necessary unless
attempting to build muscle mass (protein shakes)
– Excessive protein has not been shown to be beneficial
Current Protein Recommendations
Vitamins and Minerals
 Vitamin
E and C
– Slightly higher needs
– Antioxidant properties
Vitamin C
 Thiamin,
riboflavin, vitamin B-6, potassium,
magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, and
chromium needs
– May also be higher (role in metabolism or
sweat)
 Increase
intake of fruits and vegetables
Iron Needs
 Iron
deficiency affects performance
 Sports anemia
– Increase in plasma volume but not RBCs
 Women
at risk because of
menstruation
 Focus on iron-rich foods
 Use of iron supplement may cause
toxic effects
Calcium Needs
 Restriction
of dairy products by
women – not good (yogurt, cheeses)
 Irregular menstruation/Amenorrhea
– Severe bone loss and osteoporosis
– Extra calcium does not compensate for
effects of menstrual irregularities
– Compromises bone health
 Calcium
deficiency increases risk of
stress fractures
Challenge Question

What can the female athlete do to her diet
and physical activity level to reestab. Monthly
mensus?
Increase Energy (caloric intake)
Decrease physical activity level
Fluid Needs

Needs of average adults
– 9 cups per day for women
– 13 cups per day for men
Athletes need more (depending on sweating
 Maintenance of body’s cooling system

– Water helps dissipate heat from working muscles
Avoid losing more than 2% of body weight
during exercise
 For every 1lb. lost replace 2.5-3 cups of fluid

Confirming your knowledge -Break

What are the recommended levels of
protein in g/kg/body wt. for athletes?
1.0-1.5 grams/kg of body weight

What are the recommended additional
vitamin antioxidants required for athletes?
Vitamin C and E

Heat Exhaustion






Heat stress causes depletion of blood volume due
to fluid loss
Body heat is dissipated through evaporation of
sweat (fluid)
Fluid loss (sweat): ~3-8 Cups per hour
Humidity interferes with sweat production
Dehydration decreases endurance, strength,
performance
Signs: Profuse sweating, headache, dizziness,
nausea, weakness, visual disturbances
Heat Cramps

Frequent complication of heat
exhaustion
– Exercising in heat
– Significant sweating
– Consuming water without sodium

Painful muscle contractions
– 1-3 minutes at a time
Ensure adequate salt and fluid intake
 Exercise moderately at first in the heat

Heat Stroke

High blood flow to working muscles
– Overloads body’s cooling system
– Sweating ceases
– Internal body temperature reaches 104° F
– Fatality rate high

Symptoms:
– Nausea, confusion, irritability, poor
coordination, seizures, coma
Replace fluids
 Monitor weight change (fluid loss)
 Avoid exercising in hot humid conditions

Hydroxycut recall
MAY 2009
The FDA has received 23 reports of serious liver injuries,
including a death, linked to Hydroxycut products.
SUSPECTED CULPRIT  hydroxycitric acid (HCA)
1 medical study shows associated liver toxicity
Laboratory and animal studies of HCA
have produced results that indicate a potential
for modulation of lipid metabolism
