KIN 6026 – Spоrt аnd Exercise Nutritiоn fоr Peаk Performаnce In class, we assessed contrasting dietary approaches - plant-based (PB) and meat-centric (MC) diets. Both approaches have merit, but please state a case for either plant-based or meat-centric as a preferred dietary plan for health or performance. Select a dietary approach to support (PB or MC). Select an outcome to describe (health or performance). Very briefly, one paragraph total, describe the purported benefits of each approach. Provide an evidence-based argument stating how either a PB or MC diet positively impacts health or performance. Select two major arguments (1-2 paragraphs each). Consider and discuss any of the following: Hormonal responses to dietary intake – macronutrient composition, portions, timing. Total carbohydrate intake and type of carbohydrate consumed (starches, sugars, fiber) and the impact on blood glucose and insulin. Energy storage and subsequent relationship to appetite and energy expenditure. Roles of nutrient and caloric density in total energy intake. Protein adequacy and the potential need for supplementation. Dietary fiber and polyphenol intake and impact on gut health and systemic inflammation. Summarize practical recommendations to implement the diet plan you selected. Support your statements.
KIN 6046 – Clinicаl Exercise Physiоlоgy аnd Metаbоlism Name and explain what uses the ATP in skeletal muscle during exercise. Explain in detail the names of each enzyme and for what they use ATP, then explain how each of these enzymes are activated to start using ATP. Next, explain in detail how the ATP is provided (through which energy systems) for 30 seconds of very high workload cycling if you are pedaling as hard as you possibly can (assuming you are fully warmed up when you start). Discuss how each of the energy systems are used from 0-10 sec, 10-20 sec, and 20-30 seconds. How is each system activated?
