ENERGY FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES AND DIGESTION OF CARBOHYDRATE

SUMMARY OF NOTE ON ENERGY FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES • Energy is the capacity to do work • Physical activity refers to any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure • The body needs energy to perform any movement or physical activities. • The unit of energy needed for muscle contractions in human body is ATP ( Adenosine Triphosphate ) • Energy is derived from the breakdown of nutrients. • A balanced diet is one that provides all the essential nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water) in the correct proportions to maintain health, support growth, and provide adequate energy. • The main classes of food (nutrients) are: carbohydrates , proteins , fats , vitamins , minerals , and water . • Carbohydrates , fats , and proteins are the primary sources of energy. • Food eaten must be digested before they can yield energy. • Digestion is the process of breaking down large, complex, and insoluble food molecules into sma...

EFFECTS OF TRAINING, DETRAINING AND RETRAINING

Training Training in sport is the systematic and structured process of preparing an athlete to optimize their performance in a specific sport or athletic event. It involves a planned and progressive application of various exercises and drills designed to elicit physiological, technical, tactical, and psychological adaptations. Effects of Training Increased stroke volume, cardiac output, VO2 max (maximal oxygen uptake), and improved capillarization of muscles, leading to enhanced endurance. Hypertrophy (muscle growth), increased strength, power, and muscular endurance, improved efficiency of muscle fiber recruitment. Enhanced enzyme activity, increased glycogen storage, improved lactate threshold, and greater efficiency in utilizing fat as an energy source. Improved coordination, agility, balance, reaction time, and enhanced neural drive to muscles. Increased bone density and strength. Acquisition of new skills and techniques specific to the sport. Increased self-confidence and self-eff...
