STRENGTH & CONDITIONING NUTRITION GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT ATHLETES Madera Coyote Athletics: Performance Diet & Nutrition Guidelines By Coach Bonner D. Cunnings (Adopted from the Stanford Football Nutrition Guidelines 2007) 1 STRENGTH & CONDITIONING NUTRITION GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT ATHLETES Body style Your Nutrition Plan should be based on your Somotype (body style) and its specific needs. Not every human fits exactly into these categories, but typically there are 3 basic body types: the Ectomorph, the Mesomorph, and the Endomorph. The Ectomorph usually has difficulty gaining weight and muscle growth takes much longer to achieve and maintain. The ectomorph is very lean with little body fat, so they must add more calories to their diet to put on mass. Typically they are able to consume a much higher percentage of Carbohydrates in their daily diet. By adding an additional 500-1000 calories per day, spread out over 5-6 meals, the ectomorph will be able to achieve weight gain. Calorie/Nutrient dense foods such as Fruit (dried or fresh), Nuts & seeds (and other good fats) must be consumed regularly. The Mesomorph has little trouble gaining or losing weight and possesses the ability to rapidly pack on muscle mass. These body types have little problem being under or overweight. The mesomorph should focus on a maintenance diet that is well rounded in order to maintain optimum health, and not fall into the common trap of complacency. Plenty of Vegetables, Fruit and Nuts/Seeds must be consumed to avoid the breakdown of the body with sickness or disease. Protein intake at each meal is critical to insure a continual pattern of muscle growth. The Endomorph is usually characterized by a soft, round body and large stature. This individual has trouble losing weight but usually gains muscle rather easily. The endomorph tends to be heavy with a high percentage of body fat and muscle. They must never allow the body to be accustomed to using Carbohydrates as the primary fuel, when the objective is to switch the metabolism to prefer fat. Eating 5-6 meals a day, high in protein & good fats, will maintain the metabolic rate. Most Calories (especially carbohydrates) should be consumed early in the day, and mostly protein should be eaten as the day progresses. Vegetables, fruits, and beans must be eaten regularly to maintain fiber intake for proper digestion. 2 STRENGTH & CONDITIONING NUTRITION GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT ATHLETES Goals of the Performance Diet 1. A genuine, self-motivated commitment to improve your diet and lifestyle consistently. 2. Plan your meals and snacks to make positive food choices that will help you perform and achieve your goals. 3. Choose balanced meals with a variety of wholesome foods that your body needs in order to compete. 4. Manage your overall lifestyle to prepare for aggressive training and championship performance. The Players Carbohydrates Simple definition: Potential Energy Carbohydrates (i. e. “Carbs”) are the body’s preferred fuel source for basic functions and intense training. They provide four calories per gram of carbohydrate consumed. For the Ectomorph Carbohydrates should supply the majority of total calories consumed each day, but should be avoided by the Endomorph. Carbohydrates can be either simple or complex and will affect energy levels and performance differently depending on the amounts of total carbohydrate, fiber and fat consumed. This proportion of nutrients and the effect it has on overall blood sugar content is known as the Glycemic Index (GI) of a food. Foods with a high GI will lead to a rapid spike in energy levels followed by a drastic decline. Foods with a lower GI will provide a more steady supply of energy, which can improve performance in practice and competition by sustaining energy levels throughout the day. Low GI Carbs are the target Carbohydrate for the serious athlete. Protein Simple definition: Build & Repair Protein is a combination of individual pieces (amino acids) that unite to form one functional unit or “fiber” that will contribute to assembling an individual strand of muscle. Protein can supply energy when carbohydrates or fat are not available, but this is the last resort for the body. Protein can provide four calories per gram if necessary. Adequate protein intake in the diet is critical to the recovery process following ALL training, especially strength training. Fat Simple definition: Stored Energy The largest and most efficient fuel source available to the body while at rest. Fat is an essential nutrient that provides a feeling of satisfaction after a meal. Fish oils and unsaturated plant sources (olive oil, avocado, coconut, seeds, nuts, etc) are the best. As a reserve energy supply and compliment to carbohydrates, fat provides nine calories per gram. Your body will strive to protect a specific amount of fat stores based on your individual genetics. 3 STRENGTH & CONDITIONING NUTRITION GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT ATHLETES The Game Plan 1. Schedule meal planning and nutrient timing to improve mood, increase energy, and enhance performance Eat breakfast within one hour of waking up everyday. Jump-start your metabolism and fuel your body for the day. Eat small frequent meals early and often. Eat five to six small meals each day, eaten every three hours. Drink water throughout the day. Water should be consumed at every meal, before going to sleep, and when waking. It is best to carry a water bottle with you. Make pre and post workout nutrition a priority. You must plan your meals to fuel the demands of the day’s physical exertion. If you are exhausted day after day you are not overtraining, you are not eating correctly. Remember: to recover and rebuild the body you must supply nutrients within the 30-minute recovery window after exertion. 2. Choose balanced meals with a variety of foods that you like to eat and others you know you need to eat. Replace simple calorie dense carbohydrates (bread, noodles, white potatoes, white rice, tortillas, sugar snacks, etc) with nutrient dense carbohydrates (specifically fruits and vegetables). Select a variety of colors for your fruit and vegetable choices. Select wholesome foods that are not processed or packaged. Remember the rule: “If it comes out of a package or can, it’s not best.” Eat fruits and nuts instead of chips, crackers, and cookies. Control your portion sizes & limit obvious poor choices (such as fried foods, soft drinks, and sweets). Have your favorite indulgences (dessert, pizza, fast food, soft drinks) in moderation only once or twice in a week. Overall wellness and freedom from sickness will be the result of choosing nutrient dense foods, regardless of your Somotype (body style). 3. Manage your overall lifestyle to avoid extremes and promote the development of healthy habits. Consistently average eight hours of sleep per night with a twenty minute power nap during the day whenever possible. The importance of adequate sleep cannot be overstated. Hydration is the foundation of your metabolism. Drink fluids on a schedule- pre training, during training, and post training using the 2% rule. Remember you are what you eat, and your body will not recognize processed food as “food”! Your daily choices will determine your preparation to perform and your ability to focus through to the finish. 4 STRENGTH & CONDITIONING NUTRITION GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT ATHLETES The Performance Diet Priority Pyramid (The bottom of the pyramid is the foundation that must be solid in order to build upon) JUNK FOOD- Portion control, rare treats SUPPLEMENTS- After consultation, affordable?

The GI refers to how quickly carbohydrates are digested then absorbed and released into the bloodstream for use by the body. The GI of a food is determined by the amount eaten, fiber and fat content, in addition to the way it is prepared. Why should I care? As a competitive athlete you can improve your performance by increasing your mental focus and physical endurance with well-planned meals. What is the plan? To choose foods with a lower GI before practice or training to supply a steady flow of energy that will sustain your best efforts through challenging workouts. Then enhance your recovery for the next practice or competition by eating foods with a higher GI during the next 30 minutes after your training session is completed. The Performance Diet Glycemic Index Chart Ranked from fastest to slowest glycemic response Low GI = Eaten before training to sustain energy levels & delay fatigue (best option) Fleshy Fruits = Apple, Pear, Plum, Peach, Apricots Citrus Fruits (Fresh) = Orange, Grapefruits Beans = Navy, Pinto, Black, Green, Lima Nuts = Peanuts, Cashews, Walnuts, Almonds Cheese = Low/Non fat Tomatoes or Tomato Juice Yogurt = No and Low Fat Fruit Whole Grains = Barley, Quinoa, Oats Moderate GI = Eaten before training to sustain energy levels and delay fatigue (2nd best) Whole Grains = Whole Wheat Breads or Bagels, Raisin Bran, Oatmeal, Pita Bread, Corn Tortillas Fleshy Fruits = Kiwi, Grapes, Mango, Raisins, Strawberries Rice = Brown, Whole Grain, White Starchy Vegetables = Sweet Potatoes Peas, Corn 100% Fruit Juices = Orange, Apple, Cranberry Bananas Recovery Bars and Shakes High GI=Eaten moderately, immediately after training to maintain energy levels (least beneficial) Simple Sugars - Glucose, Fructose, Sucrose, Maltose Sugary Sweets = Soft Drinks, Candy, Cookies Grains = Cereals, Potatoes, Crackers, White Bread or Bagels , Pretzels, Waffles, Pancakes Sports Drinks = Gatorade, Cytomax, PowerAde (Mesomorphs should avoid these products) 9 STRENGTH & CONDITIONING NUTRITION GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT ATHLETES Supplement & Substance Policy Before you use any supplement you should ask yourself is it S.A.F.E.? S= Supposed benefits. What claims are being made to aid your training and performance? Is this the best option? A= Acceptable. Is it legal? Is it banned by the NCAA? Are there side effects or risks associated with this product? F= Funding. Who is paying for it? Is it worth the money? Will you be able to afford it consistently? E= Effective. Is there scientific research and evidence to support the supposed benefits? What substances am I NOT allowed to use? The NCAA has provided information in reference to substances banned from use by students-athletes. This includes substances that you may purchase and use without and use without realizing the consequences or could be illegal to use and possess. These banned substances are classified into the following categories: 1. Stimulants such as Ephedrine 2. Anabolic agents (steroids) such as testosterone and androstenedione 3. Diuretics including caffeine in very extreme amounts 4. Street drugs such as marijuana 5. Peptide hormones such as human growth hormone The NCAA provides a complete list that you can access via their webpage How do I know which supplements live up to the hype? The international Society of Sports Nutrition (SSN) provides information concerning the effectiveness of many popular supplements that you may want to use for caloric intake convenience, lean muscle development, body fat loss or performance enhancement. Each supplement is evaluated on the conceptual theory of its use as an ergogenic aid, the merit of scientific research that supports the supplements ergogenic value, and if the supplement is legal and safe for use. This criteria has enabled the ISSN to classify each type of supplement into one of four categories which include Apparently Effective, Possibly Effective, Too Early To Tell, and Apparently Ineffective. A supplement or ergogenic aid is classified as Apparently Effective when the majority of scientific research studies demonstrate that the product is both safe and effective. Possibly Effective supplements show evidence to safety and efficiency yet need additional research validation and support. A supplement is classified as “Too Early To Tell” if the scientific theory appears valid and reasonable yet there is insufficient research currently available to support its use at this time. An Apparently Ineffective supplement has a poor theoretical rationale, is proven to be ineffective by research studies or has been proven unsafe for use. The Bottom Line Unless you make a genuine self disciplined commitment to develop your eating habits by executing the game plan outlined previously then nutritional supplements will not be able to compensate for your underachieving lifestyle. If you consistently schedule and plan your meals to include wholesome, nutrient dense food choices while drinking water throughout the day, and sleep an average of eight hours per night and find yourself unable to achieve your performance goals you may consider nutritional supplements as an ergogenic aid. Please discuss your interests, questions and concerns with a member of the Strength and Conditioning or Sports Medicine staff. Gather you information from individuals you can trust that are educated, invested and have made a genuine commitment to your best interests. 10 STRENGTH & CONDITIONING NUTRITION GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT ATHLETES The Devastating Impact of Dehydration “A 1% loss of body weight through sweat will lead to a 30% decrease in skeletal muscle force production.” – VT “Even a 2% loss of body weight through sweat can put an athlete at a serious disadvantage.” – GSSI “The most important nutritional ergogenic aid for athletes is water. Performance can be significantly impaired when 2% or more of body weight is lost through sweat. Further, weight loss of more than 4% of body weight during exercise may lead to heat illness, heat exhaustion, heat stoke and possibly death.” – ISSN “Football uniforms and equipment present a significant barrier to heat dissipation during environmental heat exposure. This equipment effectively seals off 50% of the body’s surface from the benefits of evaporative cooling. Just wearing the 6-7 kg (13-15 lbs) of football equipment significantly increases the metabolic load. The large body size of these athletes further magnifies the heat load, particularly for offensive and defensive lineman since they possess a relatively small body surface area-to-body mass ratio and a higher percentage of body fat than players at other positions.” – ISSN 11 STRENGTH & CONDITIONING NUTRITION GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT ATHLETES The Devastating Impact of Dehydration What can we do to prevent dehydration? 1. Never depend on thirst. If you are thirsty you are already at 1% dehydration. 2. Drink water with a plan on schedule… “Drink water throughout the day. With every meal, before bed and when you wake up. Carry a water bottle to class.” Water- 16-24 oz. before, 8-12 oz. every 20 minutes during, 16-24 oz. for every pound after exercise. 3. Mandatory weigh-in before and after daytime practices = 9 total in camp. 4. Pay attention to your pee! Frequent urination of pale yellow or clear or clear urine. 5. Electrolytes are a must = Gatorade! 6. Heat Doctors and exercise Physiologists 12 STRENGTH & CONDITIONING NUTRITION GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT ATHLETES Pre-game meal planning for parent volunteers We would like to thank you in advance for any additional time, effort or resources that may be required in the preparation of the meals for the players, coaches and staff of Madera High Athletics.
