Question

im confused about the bottom question!

WHAT SHOULD JARED DO? Jared is a 164 pound soccer player who trains two hours per day. He has a kcal requirement of approximately 3600 kcal per day. It is often said that an individual should take about_43 to 60 % of kcal as CHO For an athlete, the absolute quantity of CHO rather than % of energy from CHO is important for exercise performance Therefore, to determine Jared's CHO need you should figure on 0 0 grams/kg body weight (based on hours and intensity of training). This would yield a need of grams per day. -4.5 In trying to decide how to obtain those grams, Jared remembers that the following food groups each provide CHO. Food Group Grams CHO/serving _Grains Fus оя р veogie s Milk Sugar ол According to the most recent guidelines, if Jared wants to have the maximum of muscle glycogen available for an upcoming game he should take in about_5.5_gm of CHO/kg body wt for 2 or 3 days before a competition while at the same time_ rest from his training If Jared has weekly games he probably will not truly be able to carbohydrate load. Why? He needs to rest when carb loading and he can't do that if he has games each week. What could an athlete with weekly events (game or competition) do to have adequate muscle glycogen? (List at least two) · Replace CHO after game . Make sure to consome enough during game On the day of the big game (which will be played at 3:00 and lasts about 90 minutes), Jared plans to eat a meal about 12:00 Ho has read that he should eat figures that he needs to take in- g rams of CHO per kg of body weight at this meal. He grams of CHO at that time.

Answer 1

A soccer player can eat

• 4 grams per kg of carbohydrate, four hours before the game
• 2-3 grams per kg carbohydrate ,2- 3 hours prior to the game and
• 1 gram per kg carbohydrate, 1 hour prior to the game.

So the body weight given is 164 pound = 74.38 kg (one kg is 2.205 pound so,164/2.205)

Thus, if he want to eat 2-3 hours prior to the game he should eat 2-3 gm/kg carbohydrates. if he eat at 12:00 for a game starting at 3:00, 3 hours prior to the game he should eat 3 gm x 74.38 kg= 223.14 gm carbohydrates.(maximum amount given)

Thus the answer is, he has read that he should eat 3 gm of CHO per kg of body weight at this meal. He figure that he needs to take 223 gm of CHO at that time.
