Exam 12: Nutritional Ergogenic Aids Evaluated

Component of a triacylglycerol molecule, gluconeogenic substrate, important constituent of a cells' phospholipid plasma membrane, osmotically active natural metabolite.

The hyperhydration effect of glycerol supplementation reduces overall heat stress during physical activity, lowers heart rate and core temperature, and enhances endurance performance under heat stress.

Glycogen stored in the liver and active muscles supplies most of the energy for intense aerobic physical activity.

Chromium serves as a cofactor for potentiating glucagon function.

Consuming triacylglycerols composed mostly of long-chain fatty acids significantly increases gastric emptying.

Cramping and diarrhea often accompany excess MCT intake.

Vigilance and mood improve with a carbohydrate beverage administered during a day of sustained aerobic activity interspersed with rest.
