Answer 1

ANSWER :

1) Joe - weight : 100 kg , Trains to maximize muscle strength , power and speed(power athlete).

Power athlete :

●CARBOHYDRATE :

▪︎Recommendation = 4-5g/kg/day (avg:4.5g/kg/day)

▪︎Intake :

1kg ----------> 4.5 g

100 kg --------> ??

= (100 × 4.5 )÷ 1 = 450 g/day

●PROTEIN :

▪︎Recommendation = 2g/kg/day

▪︎Intake :

1kg -------> 2g

100kg -------> ??

= ( 100 × 2 ) ÷ 1 = 200g/day

●FAT :

▪︎Recommendation = 1.6-1.7 g/kg/day(1.65g/kg/day)

▪︎Intake :

1kg -------> 1.65g

100kg --------> (100 × 1.65 ) ÷ 1 = 165 g/day

● SUPPLEMENT :

▪︎substance name : CREATINE

▪︎Dose : loading dose = 0.3g/kg/day

1kg ------> 0.3g

100kg -------> ??

=  100 × 0.3 = 30g / day in 4 divided doses for 2- 7 days

Maintenance dose = 0.03g/kg/day

1kg ---------> 0.03g

100kg ----------> ??

= 100 × 0.03 = 3g/day for several weeks to months.

2)Marsha - weight : 60kg, Trains to maximize aerobic power and endurance ( Endurance athlete)

Endurance athlete :

●CARBOHYDRATE :

▪︎Recommendation = 8-10g/kg/day (avg : 9g/kg/day)

▪︎Intake :

1kg ---------> 9g

60kg ---------> ??

= ( 60 × 9)÷ 1 = 540g/ day

●PROTEIN :

▪︎Recommendation = 1.4 g/kg/day

▪︎Intake :

1kg --------> 1.4g

60kg ---------> ??

= (60 × 1.4 ) ÷ 1 = 84g/day

●FAT :

▪︎Recommendation :1.2 - 1.4 g/kg/day(avg : 1.3g/kg/day)

▪︎Intake :

1kg ---------> 1.3g

60kg ---------> ??

= ( 60 × 1.3 ) ÷ 1 = 78g/day

●SUPPLEMENT :

▪︎Substance name : Beta alanine

▪︎ Dose : 3.2 to 6.4gm daily
