O DURING an exercise session (If the athlete has a 2 hour practice): O Calculate CHO needs based on activity type ____ g CHO/h • Provide an example fueling plan (and explain why you chose it) • What about DURING a long distance workout (3 hours)? O Calculate CHO needs based on activity type ____ g CHO/h • Provide an example fueling plan (and explain why you chose it) O AFTER the exercise session (assume that there is another workout that evening): O Calculate CHO needs post-exercise ____ g CHO/h, or total CHO goal. • Provide an appropriate "post-exercise" meal (and why you chose it) • Identify 2 benefits optimal nutrient timing provides to an athlete's performance.

Fitness Plan (FITT Principle) Level of Strength Low Moderate VIGOROUS Frequency (How often) -number of training sessions that are performed during a given period. 1-2 times a week Intensity (How hard) -an individual's level of effort, with their maximal effort, which is usually expressed as a percentage. Easy Type of Exercise (Kind of Exercise) -Mode of physical Activity. • Stretching or Warm-up • Curl-ups (2 sets of 6 counts) • Jog in Place (2 sets of 16 counts) Time (How long) -duration of workout or the length of time spent in the trainig. 10-15 mins exercise Target Heart Rate 1. First get the pulse rate before the exercise: Resting heart rate - (Count pulse for 1 minute) My RHR: 2. Then, after the exercise get the Training Heart Rate for 1 minute: Training Heart Rate- (Count pulse for 1 minute) My THR: How to get pulse: To find your pulse, use two fingers (your middle and your index fingers) put it above your wrist then find the artery. Then, count the beats you feel for 10 seconds. Beats for 10 seconds X 6 = Number of beats for 1 minute

Activity 1.2. Let's Work It Out! Based on your FITT Goal, make an Activity Exercise Work-Out Plan. Be guided with the Rubrics found at the Answer Key page. My Activity Exercise Work-out Plan Goal: (Why will you do physical activity/exercise? It must be specific) Date of Implementation: (When will you start conducting your plan?) Note: You will implement this plan for the whole duration of the semester (8 weeks). Activity: (Refer to your set(s) of activity on your FITT plan) Week | Mon. | Tues. | Wed. | Thurs. | Fri. | Sat. | Sun. 1 2 8
Case Study: Fatigued Athlete Objective: The objective of this activity is to provide nutritional insights and recommendations for a basketball player who is experiencing fatigue during his games. Details: A local basketball team that you have recently started working with has reported one of their players complains about not having enough energy during games. After talking with the player to understand his usual nutrition habits, you discover the player is following a low carbohydrate diet. He told you he started eating this way about a month ago, after seeing on social media that his favorite professional follows Paleo. You now have an opportunity to educate the player on the importance of carbohydrate for fuel and help him adjust his eating patters to feel more energetic on the court. Athlete profile: Age: 20 Height: 6'4" (193 cm) Weight: 180 lbs (81 kg) Position: starting shooting guard Answer the Following Questions: 1. Why might following a low-carbohydrate diet be a cause of fatigue for this athlete? 2. How would you explain the role of carbohydrates to this player on a low carbohydrate diet, specifically the benefit for performance? Be sure to state the benefits in a way the player will understand. 3. List out 5-7 sources of carbohydrates. 4. How many of grams of carbohydrate should this 180 lb basketball player consume per day? 5. How much protein should he aim to consume per day? 6. Suggest a pre-game meal for your athlete. When should he eat? How much carbohydrate should he include? Suggest some food ideas. 7. To perform at his best, how much carbohydrate should your athlete take in during the game? Is it a good idea to have him start using this amount right away? Why or why not? 8. Help the player understand opportunities during the game to consume carbohydrates. Provide specific examples when carbohydrates could be consumed. 9. Your athlete is fairly responsive to your suggestions before and during the game but does not see why he should also eat carbohydrate after the game. Explain to your athlete why adding carbohydrate to his post-game recovery smoothie will help with his issue of feeling fatigued during games.
