FATS & ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE

4. powerhouse of cell & site of ATP production
8. tissue contains 50,000 - 60,000 kcals of energy
12. improves the ability to use/burn fat as a fuel source
13. fat found in animal foods & coconut, palm/palm kernel oils
15. fat found in olive & canola oils
17. TGs contains 2000-3000 kcals of stored energy
19. type of substance which promotes the CNS to increase focus & alertness, improved reaction time, & reduced perceived effort
20. only fuel that can be burned anaerobically & aerobically
21. fatty acids found in cold-water fish, canola & soybean oils, flax, chia & pumpkin seeds, & walnuts which benefit cardiovascular health & anti-inflammatory agent

1. no longer bans caffeine in athletic competition
2. made in liver, found only in animal foods, & contains zero kcals
3. fats formed via hydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids & increase LDL & lower HDL levels
5. composed of 3 fatty acids bonded to a glycerol molecule
6. regimen of very high fat & low carb intake to possibly reduce reliance on carbs as fuel & prolong exercise duration
7. fat found in corn, soybean, sunflower, safflower and fish oils
9. primary fuel used at rest & primarily burned at low-moderate intensity at longer durations
10. kcals per gram in fat
11. percent of kcals possibly needed for ultra-endurance athletes & football lineman with high kcal needs
14. fats which are liquid at room temperature
16. type of oil directly absorbed from stomach into bloodstream but in higher dosages can cause GI issues & diarrhea
18. ergogenic aid with recommended dosage of 3-6mg/kg & best taken 30-60 minutes prior to exercise lasting 90+ minutes, which mobilizes fatty acids from adipose stores into bloodstream to spare muscle glycogen use during exercise
