KIN380 Malin Case StudyDiet, Supplements and Athletic Performance Case StudyName: Victoria Newbury_ Date: _7/22/14____Trent is a 20-year-old male football player who has recently been challenging for a starting spot on the Umass football. Trent has spent the previous two years training with friends while living in the residence halls. He recently moved to off campus housing and lives on his own. In preparation for the upcoming season he is determined to make a great impression at summer camp. His current weight is 98 kg with 20% body fat and height is 6”2. His resting metabolic rate equals 2,280kcal and multiplied by 1.6 (an activity factor) he eats 3,650kcal a day to maintain his body weight. Trent usually trains twice daily and includes strength training four times per week. Reason for consultancy He has made an appointment to see you privately because his coach has encouraged him to increase his body weight in order tochallenge for a starting middle linebacker position. He wants to increase his lean body mass, so he has more muscle to throw around his opponents. He managed to gain some weight while training on his own; however, he needs to gain at least 5 kg in order to challenge for the starting position on the team. He has 3 months or 90 days to do so. Current dietary patterns A couple of the senior players in the team have pressured him to take dietary supplements. Although he has no problem with supplements he is convinced he can do it with diet alone. Plus, he’s embarrassed to admit to his friends that he doesn’t have themoney to purchase supplements. He typically eats 3-4 meals per day though and thinks if he makes a few changes he’ll see improvements in muscle mass. However, he isn’t sure exactly how much carbohydrate, protein and fat he should be eating. He also wonders if the timing of his meals matters in relation to exercise. This is a real struggle for Trent because he often doesn’teat after exercise because he’s in a rush to get to work at Antonio’s Pizzeria.KIN380 Malin Case StudyNote: Questions may have more than 1 correct answer. List all answer(s) in the blank space before each question. Type answers to short essay questions in the space provided (this answers should not spill over onto the next page).E 1. Which of the following nutrition strategies would be prioritized to assist Trent in achieving his goal of increased muscle mass? (1 point)a. Increase total energy intake b. Increase overall protein intake c. Increase total energy intake with emphasis on recovery meals including carbohydrate and protein between sessions. d. Improve the timing and nutritional composition of his meals to maximize recovery between training sessions e. c and d onlyRegardless of whether you think answer A is correct, how many calories extra would you add to Trent’s diet per day (remember he has 90days to accomplish this goal)? Why? Show mathematical work. (3 points)3500 excess kilocalories = 1 lb weight gain5 kg = 11.0231 lb11.0231 lb * 3500 kcal/lb = 38,580.85 kcals38,580.85 kcals / 90 days = 428.676111 kcals/dayTrent will have to eat 429 kilocalories extra per day to accomplish his goal. This is because he needs to eat more calories than he is “burning” in order to gain weight.Regardless of whether you think answer C is correct, how much carbohydrate and protein should Trent consume post-exercise? Show all mathematical work. (3 points)1g CHO/kgBW *98 kg BW = 98 g CHOKIN380 Malin Case Study.5g PRO/kgBW * 98 kg = 49 g PROTrent should consume 98 g CHO and 49 g PRO post-exercise. This is based on one of the lectures where it is suggested that athletes consume a combination of 1g CHO/kg BW and .5 g PRO/kgBW after exercising.Regardless of whether you think answer D is correct, when shouldhe consume meals post-exercise? (3 points) Trent should consume his meals within 2 hours of exercising in order to maximize muscle glycogen storage. When this critical window is missed, muscle glycogen is 45% lower compared to immediate consumption of the same amount.A 2. Which is the least true in relation to Trent's protein requirements? (1 point) a. Trent should be aiming to get in large amounts of protein as his requirements are much higher than a normal athlete. b. Trent should aim for about 1.4-1.8 g of protein per kilogramof body weight per day. c. Trent should concentrate on nutrient dense (describes theratio of beneficial chemicals to the number of calories in food) foods. d. Trent will eat more than enough protein in a high energy eating plan that meets his carbohydrate requirements. 3. If Trent consumes 23% of his calories from Protein. How many grams of protein does he consume per day? How many grams of protein per kilogram of body weight is this? Would you recommend certain types of protein to be consumed post-exercise? Why or why not? Would you suggest he eat more or lessprotein based on his current intake? Why or why not? Show mathematical work. (2 points)KIN380 Malin Case StudyTrent should be consuming 4,079 kilocalories per day (3,650 kilocalories + 428 kilocalories extra).4,079 * 23% = 938.17 kcal PRO938.17 kcal PRO / 4 kcal/gPRO = 234.5425 g PRO/day234.5425 gPRO per day / 98 kg BW = 2.39 g/kg BW/dayI would recommend that Trent eat whey protein post-exercise as it is rapidly absorbed and also contains calcium and other minerals, which aid in muscle growth. Itis also important to choose lean protein sources such as chicken. It has subcutaneous fat that can be peeled away whereas red meat is marbled throughout skeletal muscle. Based on his current intake, I would say that he could eat a little less protein each day as he is eating more than enough with nearly 2.4 g/kgBW/day. Although there is some controversy about the amount of protein athletes should consume, the general recommendation is between 1.2 to 1.5g/kgBW for endurance athletes and 1.5-2.0 g/kgBW for strength and power athletes (Lemon et al.). Because Trent does both, his protein needs probably differ based on what exercise he is doing.4. Trent consumes 54% of his calories from carbohydrate. How many grams of carbohydrate does Trent consume per day? How many grams of carbohydrate per kilogram of body weight is this? What is the recommended range of carbohydrate consumption for athletes and does he fall within this range? Show mathematical work. (2 points)4079 kcal/day * 54% = 2202.66 kcal CHO/day2202.66 kcal CHO/day / 4 kcal CHO/g = 550.665 g CHO/day550.665 g CHO/day / 98 kg BW = 5.62 g
