RESISTANCE EXERCISE

Primary source of fuel used during resistance training is

• fat

• protein

• carbohydrate

Maintaining adequate glycogen stores can help _____ during resistance exercise.

• increase muscle protein synthesis

• maintain performance of the athlete

• attenuate muscle breakdown

Muscle breakdown increases when

• resistance training is performed on empty stomach

• carbohydrate intake is higher than protein intake.

• no intake of protein during the resistance exercise

Protein recommendations for strength-trained athletes is

• 0.75-1.5g/kg/day

• 5-10g/kg/day

• 1.2-1.7g/kg/day

Carbohydrate intake before resistance training help

• maintain muscle glycogen

• decrease muscular fatigue

• increase muscle protein synthesis

Protein consumption prior to resistance exercise will

• stimulate muscle protein synthesis.

• repair the muscles mass.

• provide fuel of energy to the athletes.

The most important nutrition considerations during resistance training is

• protein and carbohydrate intake.

• protein and hydration.

• carbohydrate and hydration.

Carbohydrate recommendation after resistance exercise is

• 30-60 g of CHO for the first 1 hour after exercise.

• 1.5g/kg of body weight for the first 1 hour after exercise.

• 10-20 g of CHO for the first 1 hour after exercise.

Following are the factors to consider after resistance exercise EXCEPT

• Intensity

• Type

• Timing

The ideal type of protein after exercise is

• whey

• casein

• soy
