1
Q

aspects that make journals good

A
  • published by professional organization
  • open source=less good (lower standards)
  • impact factor (based on how many articles, quality, citations, etc.)
2
Q

why are long term events particularly challenging for the GI tract?

A

@ elite level, they have to deal with a large calorie input/hour with little to no GI blood flow

3
Q

prevalence of GI symptoms in runners

A

30-90%

4
Q

upper GI tract

A

mouth–>pharynx–>esophogus–>stomach–>duodenum–>jejunum–>ileum

5
Q

lower GI tract

A

cecum–>ascending colon–>transverse colon–>descending colon–>sigmoid colon–>rectum–>anal canal–>anus

6
Q

small intenstine length + function

A

7m long
water, bile, enzymes added to chyme
nutrient absorption

7
Q

liver’s GI role

A
  • process nutrients absorbed from SI
  • produce bile
  • detoxifiction
8
Q

Pancreas GI role

A
  • secretes digestive enzymes into duodenum that break down CHO, protein, and fat
  • secretes insulin to bloodsteam
9
Q

gallbladder

A

stores and concentrates bile

releases bile for fat digestion

10
Q

large intestine GI role

A

absorbing water

nutrients have been absorbed at this point

11
Q

continence

A

=waste is held in rectum through sphincters and pelvic floor muscles

12
Q

why does exercise cause GI distress?

A

possibly:
aggressive diaphragm movement
abdominal contractions
intenstinal jarring (especially running, rectum is straight)
and blood being redirected to working muscle

13
Q

splachnic hypoperfusion

motility

A

reduced blood flow due to vasoconstriction
motility of esophagus and reduced pyloric sphinctor tone
-reduced gastric emptying
-possibly increased intestinal permeability w/exercise

14
Q

different symptoms in runners and cyclists

A

runners: lower due to pounding
cyclists: upper dues to pressure on abdomen and horizontal esophagus

15
Q

why is delayed gastric emptying an issue?

A
  • can lead to bacterial overgrowth
  • can increase fluid in the intestine
  • potential for toxins to cause symptoms
16
Q

what is recommended CHO for minimal GI symptoms?

A

glucose/fructose mix or maltodextrin/fructose mix

reduce fiber

17
Q

nutrition for GI issues in athletes

A

avoid trigger foods
stay hydrated
avoid fiber before events

18
Q

morning food recommendations

A

low GI if there’s time for digestion

high GI just before racing

19
Q

NSAIDs and GI issues

A

3-5x increased risk GI symptoms

  • advil increases risk of intestinal bleeding
  • if they cause issues, they shouldn’t be taken
    1. reflux, upper GI bleeding in esophagus (common)
    2. stomach and duodenum symptoms of gastritis, bleeding, perforation
    3. permeability of intestine increased rarely
20

A

asthma

24
Q

stitch

A

likely spasm of diaphragm or gas trapped in colon

avoid solid food before exercise

25
Q

runners diarrhea

A

more prevalent in competition-ie anxiety may be a factor
cause may be ischemia, increased motility, etc.
-reduce fiber and anti-diarrheals may be used occasionally (competition)

26
Q

rectal bleeding

A

athletes may find blood in stool after events
mx unclear
recurrent bleeding=risk for anemia

imodium

A

anti-diarrheal med
slows gut motility (peristalsis) and reduces frequency of stools
only good for certain circumstances (eg when you don’t have access to a toilet)

29
Q

protozoal diarrhea

A

5-10%
from unclean drinking water or person-to-person contact
-initially watery, then foul-smelling and fatty (steatorrhea)
-gradual onset, “relatively tolerable”
-malaise
cramps, bloating, flatulence, nausea, weight loss common
vomiting possible

30
Q

hydration and rest
antiprotozoal medication (prescription)
31
Q

bacterial diarrhea

A

sudden onset, uncomfortable

-boil, peel, cook, or forget

32
Q

prevention of traveler’s diarrhea

A
  • boil water for 3 min or use 2 drops bleach or 5 drops iodine
  • ice is not safe
  • alcohol does not sterilize water or ice
  • look for carbonation to for reassurance of proper processing
  • salads are unwise choices
  • avoid condiments and steam tables
33
Q

viral gastroenteritis

A
  • stomach and intestines become inflammed–>pain, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting
  • sometimes body aches, headaches, and fever, which are only usually w/viral infections
  • treatment=oral rehydration and quarentine, hand washing, disinfecting w/chlorine
34
Q

evaporation

A
  1. evaporation (from water to gas) requires heat-cooling effect

transfer of thermal energy from one region to another along a temperature gradient

  • mesh promotes cooling
  • cotton kills
37
Q

convection

A

two types

  • transport to medical facility if moderate to severe
42
Q

passive rewarming

A

remove from cold environment + wet clothing

ibu
rewarming bath
aloe vera, dry, bulky dressings
eventual surgical management

A

high ventilatory rate

+long term training (inc. w/ inc. years of training and dec. after over time after retirement)

50
Q

cold acclimatization

A

is possible
ideal protocol not studied
some evidence of 4-7 1 hr, 5C cold-air exposures over 14 days having an effect

51
Q

why is exercise complicated in the heat?

A
  • blood is transported to the periphery for cooling
  • relative and actual central fluid deficit
  • ->smaller SV and larger HR for given intensity
  • also, splanchnic vasoconstriction to compensate for peripheral steal leads to GI and kidney adverse effects

overtraining: months to…, performance decreases

74
Q

how is overtraining diagnosed?

A

by excluding all other possible causes
