Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of diet consisting of carbohydrates on muscle glycogen and endurance during heavy exercise.

Introduction: Nutrition is defined as the essence of the food that people intake. Nutrition is important to perform various activities of growth, repair, and maintenance of the cells/constituents of the body. Some important constituents of the food that comprise the maximum of the food are carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Vitamins and minerals are equally necessary. All these constituents impart different amounts of calories.

Explanation of Solution

Carbohydrate is a class of biomolecules that are made of sugars and saccharides. Carbohydrate plays the role of the maximum provider of energy. Hence, a person performing rigorous exercise is in need of larger intake of carbohydrate in the diet.

Heavy exercises rapidly exhaust the level of muscle glycogen. The effect of various diets (2800 kcal/day) on muscle glycogen and endurance performance is as follows:

  • After exercise, the intake of a diet (2300 kcal from carbohydrates) with maximum carbohydrates increased the level of glycogen (3.31g /100g muscle) in muscles. Moreover, the endurance was found maximum with performance duration of 167 minutes.
  • A medium carbohydrate diet provides intermediary levels of glycogen (1.75 g /100g muscle) with performance duration of 114 minutes.
  • A protein–lipid-rich diet (low carbohydrate level) will not provide sufficient levels of glycogen (0.63g/100g muscle). Endurance level is also found minimum in such cases with performance duration of 57 minutes.

Q8. A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out. What type of bias is there in this study? If the company who makes the medication funds this research, what type of bias might exist in this research work?
