4. How does creatine work? What is a safe amount? Creatine is regarded as an important supplement for any individual who wants to develop muscle since it is a mixture of amino acids. Actually, creatine is a mixture of three varying amino acids i.e. methionine, glycine, and arginine. Upon entry into the body, creatine works through binding a phosphate molecule in order to create creatine phosphate. This creatine phosphate provides its phosphate to adenine Di-phosphate (ADP) in order to recreate …show more content…
GPS is a solution developed to substitute sweat losses made of mixture of various molecules into an increasingly complex carbohydrate. In contrast, GES is a solution developed to substitute sweat losses comprising different portions of potassium, water, sodium, chloride, glucose, and other electrolytes. Glucose-electrolyte solutions work with glucose-polymer solutions to enhance performance in the heat. This process entails substituting fluid and providing CHO in order to promote endurance. Actually, GES substitutes fluid and CHO whereas GPS provides CHO and lessens osmotic concentration for emptying gastric. The replacement of sweat losses by GES and GPS is an important function through which these solutions improve performance in the heat. An effective formulation for these solutions is 5-10 percent of glucose-electrolyte solutions and 5-20 percent of glucose-polymer …show more content…
This type of meal is needed to provide energy for performance and prevent hunger during the competition as well as additional liquids to prevent dehydration. There are several principles of the pre-competition meal including low fat, minimal or no fatty foods, moderate protein, high carbohydrates, and little fiber to avoid bloating. Moreover, the meal should be eaten between 2 and 4 hours prior to the competition though a liquid meal can be eaten less than 2 hours before competition. The most important consideration or last significant meal before a competition is eating adequate carbohydrates to replenish liver and muscle stores. An example of the last significant meal before a competition is rice because it is high in
