Red blood cell production Female athletes who have irregular or absent menstrual cycles are at increased risk for stress fractures. What are some actions the athlete may take before, during, and after exercise/competition to maintain and replenish fluid intake? Hydrate with sports drinks if exercise lasts more than 1 hour. What are some reasons why fluid and electrolyte needs vary widely among people/athletes? Genetics True or false: When consuming energy bars or gels, it is important to consume adequate fluid as well. True ______ helps to maximize the amount of energy stored as glycogen prior to an athletic event. Carbohydrate loading What is the carbohydrate loading technique? The process in which high-carbohydrate intake is consumed while tapering training prior to competition. Which statements are true about pre-event meals eaten within 1 or 2 hours of a scheduled athletic event? The meal

Carnation instant breakfast blended with a banana Sports drinks are a good source of _____ calories during endurance events. carbohydrate Choose the ideal composition of an energy bar for an endurance athlete. 10 grams of protein The rationale for following a fat adaptation diet (60% of kcal from fat) is to preserve glycogen stores.
