  3. 7. Anti-nutrient reducing mineral absorption
  4. 9. Useful ergogenic supplement for strength building
  5. 10. Concept describing the plateau of muscle protein synthesis despite continued amino acid availability after feeding
  6. 16. Loss of menstrual periods often linked to RED-S or low energy availability in female athletes
  7. 18. Fuel system dominant in first 10 seconds of activity
  8. 20. Energy available for metabolism after exercise

  13. 26. A type of protein powder referred to as a slow-release protein, often consumed in a 30-40 gram dose before bedtime due to its extended digestion time
  14. 28. Mechanical impact during running that can cause red blood cell rupture, leading to exercise-induced haemolysis
  15. 30. Strategy: high CHO intake 24-72 h pre-event
  16. 31. Dangerous dilution of blood sodium levels from excessive fluid intake without adequate electrolyte replacement
  17. 32. Caffeine dosage range (mg/kg) for performance
Down
  1. 1. Relationship between energy intake and expenditure determining weight maintenance, loss, or gain
  2. 2. Main electrolyte lost in sweat
  3. 3. Protein-quality measure (truncated at 1.0)
  4. 5. The phenomenon where an athlete's negative expectations regarding a substance can cause the treatment to have a more negative or reduced effect on performance than it otherwise would have.

  7. 8. Metabolic pathway producing glucose from non-carbohydrate substrates such as amino acids or lactate during fasting or prolonged exercise
  8. 11. Abbreviation for the three essential amino acids (including Leucine) that stimulate muscle protein synthesis, although consumption of this isolated group alone is not as effective as a complete protein source.

  13. 17. Training while restricting carbs
  14. 19. Training approach of varying nutrition to workload
  15. 22. Carbohydrate stored in muscle
