Which type of nutrient is required more in diet of long distance runner
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Protein & Fats
Protein is one of the major building blocks of muscle. When you run, a lot of strain is placed on your body. After training, protein helps your body bounce back and gain lean muscle mass. Aim to consume approximately 15% of your daily calories in lean proteins like chicken, fish, nuts and eggs.
Answer:
The foods you eat all contain macro- and micronutrients that play different roles in the way energy is delivered to your body and how your long runs are fueled. For healthy long-distance runners, goal macronutrient targets (also known as "macros") will differ depending on your training schedule.
Explanation:
Context:
Elite distance runners (EDR) must optimize their nutrition to maintain their demanding training schedules.
Objective:
To develop a nutrition concept for EDR based on energy and macronutrient expenditures.
Design:
This theoretical study provides calculations for macronutrient and energy expenditures of EDR. Anthropometric and metabolic characteristics of EDR were assumed based on average real EDR.
Setting:
University of Kiel.
Patients Or Other Participants:
Three prototypic types of male EDR described in the literature as type I (TI; body mass = 72 kg, respiratory quotient = 0.9 at rest, fast-twitch muscle fibers = 60% to 70%), type II (TII; body mass = 67 kg, respiratory quotient = 0.82 at rest, fast-twitch muscle fibers = 50%), and type III (TIII; body mass = 60 kg, respiratory quotient = 0.75 at rest, fast-twitch muscle fibers = 30% to 40%).
Main Outcome Measure(s):
We calculated the macronutrient and energy expenditures of the 3 types of EDR according to body mass, respiratory quotient, and percentage of fast-twitch muscle fibers.
