Question 1

Accepted Answer

Specially formulated foods where nutrients are packaged in convenient forms for athletes and exercising individuals are called sports foods. Sports supplements typically come in the form of pills or powders and are meant to supplement the diet, while ergogenic aids and performance boosters are broader categories of substances or practices that can enhance performance, not just limited to food. Sports drugs are illegal and unethical substances used to enhance athletic performance.

Question 2

Products that typically contain unusual amounts of nutrients or other components of foods that would not normally be consumed through food alone are called?&#10;A) Sports foods&#10;B) Sports supplements&#10;C) Ergogenic aids&#10;D) Performance boosters&#10;E) Sports drugs

Accepted Answer

Sports supplements are products that typically contain unusual amounts of nutrients or other components of foods that would not normally be consumed through food alone. The other options are either too broad (sports foods) or inappropriate (performance boosters, sports drugs) as they refer to substances that are not necessarily safe or legal. Ergogenic aids might encompass some sports supplements but also include other methods such as training techniques or equipment.

Blocking adenosine from binding to cell receptors is the mechanism of action associated with caffeine.

Question 4

Which of the following is the most effective dose of caffeine for enhancing exercise performance?&#10;A) 1 mg/kg body mass&#10;B) 2 mg/kg body mass&#10;C) 3 mg/kg body mass&#10;D) 4 mg/kg body mass&#10;E) 5 mg/kg body mass

Accepted Answer

Caffeine doses of around 3 mg/kg body mass are often recommended for enhancing exercise performance, as they are effective without causing excessive side effects that higher doses might induce.

Question 5

Which of the following sports supplements has the potential to increase lean body mass?&#10;A) Beta-alanine&#10;B) Creatine&#10;C) Caffeine&#10;D) Nitrate&#10;E) Bicarbonate&#10;F) Glutamine and curcumin

Accepted Answer

Creatine has been shown to increase lean body mass by increasing phosphocreatine stores in the muscle, leading to improved performance and muscle growth. Beta-alanine, caffeine, nitrate, bicarbonate, glutamine, and curcumin do not have as much evidence supporting their ability to increase lean body mass.
