Role Of Carbohydrates In Building Muscle And StrengthCarbohydrate fuels for exercise -
In order to prevent gastrointestinal discomfort, simple carbohydrates that can be digested and absorbed quickly are recommended. As fatigue sets in, blood flow is redirected from the gastrointestinal tract to the working muscle and digestion slows down.
This makes the gastrointestinal tract less efficient at absorbing nutrients and is likely to lead to gastrointestinal distress. This is why athletes are encouraged to eat and drink early in the workout or competition in order to delay fatigue.
If fatigue begins to set in before supplement use, then it will be too late to catch up. Sports nutrition products such as energy gels, goos, chews, or beverages are all good choices for fueling during a workout or competition. However, diluted fruit juices, applesauce, crackers, pretzels, and candies can also work for athletes who want to mix up the taste and texture of their fuel sources.
Glucose is the best source of carbohydrate during a workout because it is available for use immediately after digestion and absorption — fructose and galactose must be converted to glucose before they can be used for energy.
The human body can oxidize approximately 60 g of glucose per hour. However, glucose:fructose mixtures can be oxidized at rates of up to g of carbohydrate per hour so, especially for athletes participating in endurance events lasting longer than 2.
Athletes should be careful to avoid high amounts of fructose during training or competition though as high intakes of fructose can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort. For this reason, athletes who eat fruit during exercise often dilute fruit juice or pair a piece of fruit with another source of glucose like crackers or pretzels.
Commercially available sports nutrition products usually include a combination of glucose and fructose, but each product has a slightly different formula.
You can read the labels to see what types of sugar each product contains and choose a product that works for you. The amount and type of carbohydrate that can be tolerated by the gastrointestinal tract is very individual, and the best way to determine what works best for you is to practice during training.
Never try anything during competition that you have not practiced in advance because you may end up on the sidelines! It is important to replenish these glycogen stores to prevent progressive glycogen depletion and allow the athlete to train on consecutive days.
This slow rate of glycogen synthesis is not a problem for recreational athletes and those who do not train daily since there is plenty of time between workouts for glycogen stores to be replenished. However, for more serious athletes who train daily or multiple times a day, it may be a problem.
For these individuals, the diet can be manipulated to speed up recovery and enhance glycogen repletion. If an athlete is training once a day, but is able to consume appropriate amounts of carbohydrate for their activity level, manipulation of the diet may not be necessary to replenish glycogen stores.
However, many collegiate athletes and active individuals do not consume adequate amounts of carbohydrate for their lifestyle and may benefit from the strategies outlined below.
Two things are needed to maximize glycogen resynthesis post-exercise: carbohydrate and insulin. Insulin, as discussed earlier in this chapter, is necessary to promote the uptake of glucose by the cells.
When you consume foods and beverages that contain carbohydrate, you are providing your body with the glucose needed to refill glycogen stores and stimulating the release of insulin by the pancreas at the same time.
Glycogen stores can be refilled at higher rates when carbohydrates are consumed within 2 hours after exercise.
This is due to the fact that exercise stimulates the signaling of GLUT-4 transporters to the cell membrane, independent of insulin. Therefore, it is recommended to consume carbohydrates as soon after the training session as possible.
The type of carbohydrates the athlete chooses may be important as well. Quick delivery of carbohydrate to the liver and muscles is desirable so foods that are digested and absorbed rapidly are more beneficial high glycemic foods.
Pyruvate can then be used as fuel for aerobic metabolism. Aerobic metabolism takes place in the mitochondria of the cell and is able to use carbohydrates, protein or fat as its fuel source.
Aerobic metabolism is a much slower process than anaerobic metabolism but produces majority of the ATP. The respiratory system plays a vital role in the uptake and delivery of oxygen to muscle cells throughout the body.
Oxygen is inhaled by the lungs and transferred from the lungs to the blood where the cardiovascular system circulates the oxygen-rich blood to the muscles. The oxygen is then taken up by the muscles and can be used to generate ATP.
When the body is at rest, the heart and lungs are able to supply the muscles with adequate amounts of oxygen to meet the aerobic metabolism energy needs.
However, during physical activity your muscles energy and oxygen needs are increased. In order to provide more oxygen to the muscle cells, your heart rate and breathing rate will increase.
The amount of oxygen that is delivered to the tissues via the cardiovascular and respiratory systems during exercise depend on the duration, intensity and physical conditioning of the individual. During the first few steps of exercise, your muscles are the first to respond to the change in activity level.
Your lungs and heart however do not react as quickly and during those beginning steps they do not begin to increase the delivery of oxygen. In order for our bodies to get the energy that is needed in these beginning steps, the muscles rely on a small amount of ATP that is stored in resting muscles.
The stored ATP is able to provide energy for only a few seconds before it is depleted. Once the stored ATP is just about used up, the body resorts to another high-energy molecule known as creatine phosphate to convert ADP adenosine diphosphate to ATP.
After about 10 seconds, the stored creatine phosphate in the muscle cells are also depleted as well. About 15 seconds into exercise, the stored ATP and creatine phosphate are used up in the muscles. The heart and lungs have still not adapted to the increase need of oxygen so the muscles must begin to produce ATP by anaerobic metabolism without oxygen.
Anaerobic metabolism can produce ATP at a rapid pace but only uses glucose as its fuel source. The glucose is obtained from the blood of muscle glycogen. At around 30 seconds, anaerobic pathways are operating at their full capacity but because the availability of glucose is limited, it cannot continue for a long period of time.
