  • Diet and nutrition
    • Fats
      • Function and importance
        • insulate nerves
        • form cell membranes
        • cushion organs
        • fat- soluble vitamins
        • broken down for aerobic energy
        • 2% energy yield
        • form energy store
          • ENERGY BALANCE
            • +VE energy intake >energy expenditure
              • weight gain
            • -VE energy intake< energy expenditure
              • weight loss
            • neutral
              • weight maintained
      • types
        • saturated fatty acids
          • limited to reduce cardiovascular disease
          • butter and bacon
        • majority intake should be unsaturated fatty acids
          • avocado, soya beans
        • fish oil
          • boost o2 delivery, improve endurance and recovery rates and reduce inflammation and joint stiffness
    • carbohydrates
      • function and importance
        • energy production
        • cell division
        • active transport
        • formation of molecules
        • glycogen and glucose
          • fuel for aerobic and aerobic work
          • starch= glycogen
          • sugars= glucose
            • broken down to maintain blood glucose levels
    • proteins
      • amino acids
        • growth and repair of muscles
        • make useful proteins, haemoglobin,enzymes, antibodies and collagen
      • broken down to provide energy aerobically
    • minerals
      • importance and function
        • maintain healthy body functions
        • bone and teeth
        • control body fluids
        • enzyme formation
          • breakdown food to release energy
        • normal nerve function
      • calcium: bone health, muscle contraction, blood clotting and nerve transmission
      • iron: formation of haemoglobin,enzyme reactions an immune system
      • phosphorous: bone health and enery production
    • vitamins
      • maintain healthy body functions
      • fat soluble vitamins: stored in body, found in fatty foods and animal products
      • vitamin A: antioxidant, important for eye health cell and bone growth
      • vitamin D: bone health and protects against cancer and heart disease
      • vitamin E: antioxidant and important for skin, eye and immune system
      • vitamin K: important for blood clotting and bone health
    • fibre
      • normal function of large intestine
      • reduce  cholesterol, risk of diabetes and obesity
    • water
      • allow chemical reactions
      • dissolve and move substances
      • regulate temp   moving heat to skin surfaces for evaporation
      • hydration
        • dehydration, lead to decreased plasma volume, stroke volume, increased temp and HR
    • ENERGY EXPENDITURE
      • BMR/RMR- lowest rate of energy expenditure needed to sustain body essential physiological functions 75%
      • BMR= sum of basal metabolic rate(BMR) + thermic effect of food(TEF) + energy expended in physical activity
      • physical activity expenditure- total number of calories required to perform daily tasks
      • METs ratio of the work metabolic rate to the resting metabolic rate
        • low intensity- small mets
        • can work out overall energy cost of training session
        • can adjust diet according to calories burnt
  • amino acids
    • growth and repair of muscles
    • make useful proteins, haemoglobin,enzymes, antibodies and collagen
