Across
- 4. Amino acid triggering muscle growth
- 6. Membrane of the enterocyte facing the bloodstream, where nutrients exit the cell via transporters such as GLUT2
- 7. Anti-nutrient reducing mineral absorption
- 9. Useful ergogenic supplement for strength building
- 10. Concept describing the plateau of muscle protein synthesis despite continued amino acid availability after feeding
- 16. Loss of menstrual periods often linked to RED-S or low energy availability in female athletes
- 18. Fuel system dominant in first 10 seconds of activity
- 20. Energy available for metabolism after exercise
- 21. Hormone produced by fat cells that reflects energy stores; low levels signal energy deficiency and increase appetite
- 23. The energy burned during unstructured daily activities like walking or fidgeting, which may be reduced during periods of high exercise expenditure as the body attempts to conserve energy.
- 24. Index comparing carbohydrate absorption speed
- 25. ________ retention of amino acids by the gut and liver after ingestion, limits peripheral amino acid availability for muscle synthesis
- 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
- 28. Mechanical impact during running that can cause red blood cell rupture, leading to exercise-induced haemolysis
- 30. Strategy: high CHO intake 24-72 h pre-event
- 31. Dangerous dilution of blood sodium levels from excessive fluid intake without adequate electrolyte replacement
- 32. Caffeine dosage range (mg/kg) for performance
Down
- 1. Relationship between energy intake and expenditure determining weight maintenance, loss, or gain
- 2. Main electrolyte lost in sweat
- 3. Protein-quality measure (truncated at 1.0)
- 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.
- 6. Supplement that buffers acid buildup during high-intensity exercise
- 7. Fluid deficit >2% body mass impairs this
- 8. Metabolic pathway producing glucose from non-carbohydrate substrates such as amino acids or lactate during fasting or prolonged exercise
- 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.
- 12. Our judo athlete who had to make weight
- 13. Classic post-training drink with optimal carb-to-protein ratio
- 14. Measure of how effectively a protein source provides essential amino acids for muscle repair
- 15. Protein digestion score newer than PDCAAS
- 17. Training while restricting carbs
- 19. Training approach of varying nutrition to workload
- 22. Carbohydrate stored in muscle
- 27. Sodium-glucose linked transporter on the apical membrane that co-transports glucose and sodium into intestinal cells
- 29. State of low energy availability in athletes
