Overview of Sports Nutrition The primary goal of sports nutrition is to achieve energy balance by ensuring an adequate caloric intake in the correct proportion of macronutrients (American Dietetic Association, 2000). These recommendations coupled with the need for quality training and adequate rest are the cornerstones for optimal athletic performance (Earnest, 2002). Achieving energy balance is crucial for the athlete’s ability to consistently train at the intense levels needed for athletic success…

Sports Nutrition Assignment 1 task 1 Nutrition is the process by which chemicals from the environment are taken up in the body to provide the energy and nutrients which are needed to keep us alive and healthy. Also providing the body with growth and repair to our muscles. Apart from water and oxygen, the needs of the body must be met by the intake of foods. Our recommended daily amount (RDA) on calories is 2500 for men and 2000 for women to maintain a healthy diet. Our bodies need nutrients to remain…

The Eccentric Contraction Exercise Physiology November 26, 2012 Damian Santamaria Dr. Hildebrand KNES 3613 Exercise Physiology Southern Nazarene University November 26th 2014 One indicator of life that has continually been examined is motion; whether it has been external or internal it is better understood in the body as muscles. Muscle analysis and locomotion dates back to ancient history. Today there is a more in depth modern understanding of muscle types, movements and contractions…

Different disciplines are kept in check by different governing bodies. These governing bodies make sure practitioners are correct in practice and state what they can and cannot do. There are many different disciplines within sport and exercise science and they all have different approaches to improve sporting performance and health. Governing body’s reason for existence is to set out policies and rules within an institution to make sure practitioners are morally ethically and legally correct. Governing…

Exercise Physiology This study assessed heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse oximeter readings at rest and during exercise. The heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), and oximetery measurements provide better insight into the inner workings of the human body. In using the results of the assessment, one can determine the affects that rest and exercise have on the cardiac system. Heart rate is described as the rate of the cardiac cycle. Heart rate is measured in beats per minute (bpm)…
