23. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy. Carbs are
stored in the liver & muscles.
Fats are the secondary & a long term source of energy. Fats
stored in fat depots in the body
Proteins are essential for muscle growth & repair. Not a
major source of energy & they cannot be stored in the
body
24. Amino acids from protein form building blocks for manufacture
of new tissue including muscle and repair of damaged tissue
Proteins are building blocks for hormones and enzymes that
regulate metabolism
Proteins also support the immune system
Provides a small source of fuel for the exercising muscle
25. Protein Supplements, High Protein bars and amino acid
preparations - biggest selling sports nutrition products
An adequate intake of protein essential for muscle growth and
repair
RDA can be easily achieved with everyday foods. Hence extra
protein seldom required
Whole proteins have advantages over individual amino
acids
26. Sedentary 0.8 gm/kg BW
Elite Athlete 1.2-1.6 gm/kg BW
Most athletes consume more than 1.2-1.6 gm/kg BW protein in their
normal diet and hence do not need to be encouraged or educated to
increase their protein intake
Some resistance trained athletes and body builders take up to 2-3 gm/kg
BW proteins which is not required

30. Whole milk is 82% casein (slow absorption) + 18% whey (fast
absorption)
Whey is a by-product of whole milk after cheese production Whey
protein powder is 10 times more expensive than milk
Whey stimulates early protein synthesis but due to faster oxidation
this effect is short-acting and complete within an hour
Casein stimulates late protein synthesis which lasts for 4 to 7 hours.
Besides casein reduces muscle protein breakdown.
31. Recent studies show that milk is as effective or more
effective as a sports recovery drink than commercially
available sports drinks (in lactose tolerant people)
In lactose intolerant people soya milk could be
substituted.
Besides water, milk also provides high quality protein,
carbohydrates, vitamins, electrolytes and minerals such as
calcium
