CARBOHYDRATES:
1- Three major classifications of carbohydrates are:
a) Monosaccharides
b) Oligosaccharides
c) Polysaccharides
2- Processes necessary for energy expenditure:
a) Glucogenesis
b) Gluconeogenesis
c) Glycogenolysis
3- 40-50% of caloric intake is in the form of simple sugars.
4- Function of carbohydrates:
a) Major source of energy
b) Spare protein breakdown
c) Metabolic primer for fat catabolism
d) Fuel for the central nervous system
5- Muscle glycogen provides the primary fuel during intense, anaerobic exercise and
(along with glycogen stored in the liver) contributes to high levels of aerobic
exercise.
6- A low carbohydrate diet depletes the muscle and liver glycogen supply and affects
the exercise capacity of an individual.
7- Intense training- 60-70% of calories should be carbohydrates (complex).
8- When muscles become depleted of carbohydrates, exercise intensity decreases to
a certain level determined by the body’s ability to oxidize fat.
