Week 10 nutrition for performance (cid:862)a(cid:374)ti-i(cid:374)fla(cid:373)(cid:373)atory(cid:863) diet: 80% alkaline (vegetables/whole grains) and 20% acidic (fish and lean meats) to maintain balance and harmony throughout his metabolic system. Restrictive, no scientific basis for several aspects. Diet works because it is low in added sugar, high in vegetables, moderate in lean protein, consistent. All exercise imposes energy demand on muscles. Muscles must meet that demand for task to be performed. Exercise cannot continue past the point at which the body can keep its internal environment within set of narrow limits. All cells require constant input of energy to maintain homeostasis. Ultimate energy source = chemical energy from oxidation of macros. Atp = large molecule stored in small amounts = need to regenerate as its being used. Immediate source of energy: atp > adp + pi. 2 key elements in producing energy are power that can be achieved (rate of work) and capacity of system.
