Complete: Chapter 6 Assignment
This one is a brief one, and can be answered in .5 – 1 page. Use the information in Chapter 6 to help you bring all of the information from Basic Nutrition and Chapters 5/6 together to help Marissa. You may need to review your Nutrition notes or Chapters 2/3 for a refresher on foods that provide each macronutrient discussed in the metabolic pathways.
Marissa is an avid Spinner and enjoys an 8 a.m. Spinning class at least 4 days per week. However, she has recently noticed that her energy has been wearing down about 20 minutes into the 1-hour class. She typically drinks a Zero-Calorie Red Bull Energy Drink before class to help get her through (NOTE: does this REALLY provide energy/ fuel??), but she does not eat breakfast. What pre-exercise fueling recommendations would you make to assist Marissa in maintaining adequate energy to complete her Spinning sessions, and why (discuss in relationship to the energy systems that will be utilized)? Since this is a one-hour class, you must include all energy systems that will be activated, and the fuel sources for each! Remember, Protein is not a predominant fuel source, so does not need to be discussed. What are five examples of pre-exercise food combinations you could recommend?
