Sports drinks can do things that water normally can't do. Water is useful by keeping hydration. Sports drinks can do more. According to Source A, sports drinks provide electrolytes and carbohydrates. Both nutrients offer energy boosts that can give longer workouts. Second, sports drinks have bette flavor than water. According to Source B, sports drinks are more appealing to people because of flavor. The flavor of the sports drinks are enjoyed by most people. This means that people will drink more of the sports drinks to have better hydration. Finally, sports drinks have better recovery than water. According to Source C, the type of drink to use depends on how long the activity was. Sports drinks are used for longer durations because the nutirents it gives. The added nutrients also give a performance boost, so sports drinks not only give energy, it also increases how well someone does an activity.

Why would you be concerned about having an inadequate intake of these nutrients? Vitamin: riboflavin intake was 65 %. Recommended intake by DRI is 1.10 mg and only took 0.72 mg. Riboflavin deficiency can cause weakness, throat swelling, skin cracking, and anemia. Also cause vision or eye problems. Mineral: calcium intake was 35 %. Recommended intake by DRI is 1000.00 mg and only took 346.80 mg. Calcium deficiency can cause hypocalcemia, confusion, muscle spasms, numbness, and easy fracturing of the bones.

One of the most vital nutrients for good health is vitamin B12. It comes from animal foods and is responsible for big things such as the synthesis of DNA and the sheath that protects the nerve cells. There are lots of things you could be doing to deplete the essential B12 your body needs, including eating an unhealthy diet, smoking, and drinking, but there are also things like pregnancy and growing older that can be affecting how much B12 your body is getting.

I am uncertain if my current amount of vitamin B12 is too distinct from the target amount seeing as I was only 0.1 µg from the recommended intake of 2.4 µg. If my average intake were to decrease over time and into the long term, it would result to a primary deficiency of vitamin B12. Megaloblastic, macrocytic anemia is associated with primary and secondary vitamin B12 deficiency and is typically stimulated by a folate deficiency. Even if there seems to be a sufficient intake of folate, vitamin B12 can cause a secondary THF (folate) deficiency, but because I am consuming almost too much folate, it should not be an issue.

This paper is mainly an analysis of nutrition and performance related to how much energy is needed, body composition assessment, ways to maintain and lose weight, liquid and vitamin needs, nutrition recommendations for vegetarian athletes, and the roles and responsibilities of the sports dietitian. The main proctors of the assessments are the American Dietetic Association, Dietitians of Canada, and the American College of Sports Medicine. The three corporations agree that optimal nutrition can enhance athletic performance as well as physical activity and recovery from exercise. Each of these factors of health were assessed differently and assigned a grade based on the systematic analysis and evaluation of supporting research. These grades ranged

The developers of Gatorade took great care in creating a flavor profile not too overwhelming to the taste and one that stimulates thirst, helping those participating in physical activity want to drink more of it resulting in beneficial hydration. Researchers at the University of Connecticut conducted a study of children involved in summer soccer and football camps. Between 50 and 75 percent of children at camps where water was available during exercise were significant dehydrated at the end of the session, with 25 to 30 percent at risk of serious dehydration. A similar Canadian study involving bicycling found that children increased their fluid intake by roughly 45 percent when offered flavored water, and by 91 percent when offered a sports drink.

I wake up at 7:30 and walk to the kitchen to prepare my breakfast, I get two grainy slices of bread and spread them with almond butter. This meal contains 30 to 40 grams of carbs which will give me enough energy to have a long and high intensity workout, the carbs will fuel my muscles and won’t weigh me down. I get ready and walk to the gym, I arrive at 8:30 and start on my warm up. Warming up before a workout is highly recommended, it prevent injuries, increases your heart rate and circulation and loosens you joints. I then move onto my workout which includes:

Vitamin B12 shots have been a mainstream treatment for patients lacking in this vitamin. Intense destructive impacts of vitamin B12 lack can be disposed of or modified through vitamin B12 shots. An inclination for utilizing these shots is because of poor assimilation abilities of oral dosages when taken in huge

Many of these also contain a high level of protein, which athletes need to perform well. Protein is large molecules composed of one or more chains of amino acids (sugar) in a specific order determined by the base sequence of nucleotides in the DNA coding. Some athletes like sports drinks because the sports drink provides energy and prevents dehydration. Theses drinks are high in Carbohydrates which, are vital in keeping the high energy of your body especially when you are playing sports or exercising. During these circumstances, you need to keep your carbohydrate levels high in your system to maximize your performance. Drinking these beverages can also help adults rehydrate after an illness that causes vomiting, diarrhea, and fever.

Results: The athletes scored section A: 79%, section B: 87%, section C: 77%, section D: 66%. A total knowledge score of 82% was achieved by the population. Total knowledge score was not influenced by age range (p=0.164), highest education level (p=0.391), occupation (p=0.535), and principle knowledge source (p=0.079).

This activity will focus in on the main components are need for the fitness gram which the students will take when they switch over to pe next semester. It will help students focus in and actually get to deeper understanding of the component and be able to think critically about how it touches you and others. Students have been taught these components briefly in past physical education classes, but this poster will help students achieve a positive affective domain in which they are working together pleasingly for this group project.

Another study (Rowlands) concluded that sports drinks had a likely trivial effect on hydration as compared to drinking only water during exercise because it was not as isotonic as water. However, the study did support a role for carbohydrate concentration in fluid absorption, with the more concentrated Poweraid being absorbed more slowly than less concentrated Gatorade because it is more of a hypotonic solution. The current evidence suggest that a hypotonic sports drink provides minimally to moderately faster fluid absorption over water warranting further research into the practical implications of sports drinks over water because it may provide faster rehydration after and during sporting events.

If I continue to be deficient in these vitamins and minerals, my energy metabolism will be affected along with vision. Due to my lack of vitamin A, I run the risk of developing xeropthalmia. If I continue to lack calcium, I could develop osteoporosis later in life. I grouped these together, because they share milk as a common source to raise my percentages of the above. My percentages for vitamins B1 and B12 is the deficiency column. If I continue to lack these vitamins, I could experience muscle weakness, anemia, and fatigue. I grouped these two vitamins together because they share ham or pork products as a common source to raise their

There are many misconceptions of high deficiency risk in vegetarians, a select few being vitamin B12, iron, and protein. While vitamin B12 is most conveniently available in the form of animal products, supplements and fortified foods (such as enriched cereals or fortified plant milks) provide the necessary amount of B12 in a healthy way. It is most logical to consume B12 from a non-animal source, as it provides the necessary amount of B12 without the extra saturated fats, sodium, and harmful risks associated with eating

As a kinesiology, or exercise science, major, enrolling in a social science course was a new experience that I wont forget. This class, which involved learning about communities and cultures, opened my eyes to a broader perspective of how I view the world, more specifically the United Kingdom and my home country the U.S.A. Being a science major, I am more accustomed to viewing problems from a scientific or mathematical standpoint. After this class I can now view my community, Los Angeles, with more understanding in terms of how this society works and its components. This class has helped me look at societal issues of the past and those we face today with more understanding where I can now develop an opinion with more knowledge
