  • PE Unit 4 (Diet)
    • Balanced Diet
      • Nutritional Needs
        • Carborhydrates
          • Simple Carbs (sugars): Glucose and Sugar
          • Complex Carbs (starches): Pasta, bread, rice
          • One of the main sources of energy for active people
        • Fats
          • Major source of energy for the body
        • Proteins
          • 'Building Blocks'- essential for development of new tissue
        • Vitamins
          • Essential to enable good health, only needed in small quantities
        • Minerals
          • Basically same reason as vitamins, needed for good health
        • Water (Fluids)
          • Failure to replace lost water results into dehydration
        • Fibre
          • Used to aid digestive  system and prevent constapation
      • Dietary Considerations
        • 5 MAIN FOOD GROUPS
          • Sources of Protein (meat, fish, eggs, beans, NON DAIRY)

                • Anorexia- eating disorder  where people self-starve themselves
                  • Fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image
                • Malnutrition- physical weakness from insufficient food or poor diet
                • Obesity- condition of being extremely fat or overweight
          • Anorexia- eating disorder  where people self-starve themselves
            • Fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image
          • Malnutrition- physical weakness from insufficient food or poor diet
          • Obesity- condition of being extremely fat or overweight
    • Specific Diets
      • Levels of participation
        • Basal Metabolic Rate- the resting amount of energy required to keep life processes maintained
        • Calorie- A unit that measures heat/energy production in the body
        • When to eat; (exercise)
          • Before- not too close to performing, try a 2 hour gap
          • After- wait 2 hours again after performing
          • During- generally don't eat but something light = okay
          • Liquids= constant to avoid dehydration but avoid stitches
      • High-Protein Diet
        • Body Builders
        • Way of building up muscle and loosing fat
          • Also need to do exercise though
        • Protein is hard to digest so don't eat just before training or performing
      • Carbohydrate Loading
        • Endurance Athletes and Marathon Runners
        • Eat lots of starchy foods in the week before an event
          • This builds up glycogen stores in muscles
            • Which can help to delay fatigue and improve performance
              • Because Starch is slow-release energy
