Physical Activity (P.A) Guidelines forChildren & Adolescents (ages 6-17)
Children and adolescents should be involved insome sort of P.A for 60 minutes or more daily.
Moderate or vigorous aerobic P.A should cover mostof the 60 or more minutes available for action every
day. The frequency of this type of vigorous P.A, shouldbe at least 3 times/week.
As part of their 60 or more- minute daily P.A, childrenand adolescents should include muscle-strengthening activities
, at least 3 times/week.
Bone-strengthening P.A for at least 3 times/week.

Physical Activity (P.A) Guidelines forChildren & Adolescents (ages 6-17)
Each type of activity yields important health benefits
Aerobic activities increase cardio- respiratory fitness.
Examples: Running, skipping rope, swimming, dancing, cycling
Muscle-strengthening activities make muscles work harder
than they do when they carry out daily routine tasks. Thiswork overload strengthens muscles.
Examples: playing on playground equipment, working withresistance bars or body weight for resistance like push ups)
Bone-strengthening activities exercise a force on the bonesthat promotes bone growth and strengthening. They are acombination of aerobic and muscle-strengtheningactivities.
Examples: Running, basketball, volleyball, tennis

Physical Activity and Young Peoples Health
Children and adolescents should meet the
Guidelines by picking up an activity that isappropriate for their age.
Benefits of Regular Physical Activity
Development and maintenance of healthy bonesand musclesAchievement of healthy body composition and
weight reduced risk of developing chronic diseases(i.e diabetes and cardiovascular disease). Fat canbe by regular physical activity of moderate tovigorous intensity, 3-5 times a week, for 30 to60 minutes

Nutrition and Athletic Performance
Physical activity, athletic performance and recoveryfrom exercise are enhanced by optimal nutritionand hydration status.( A position held by the American Dietetic
Association, Dietitians of Canada and the American
College of Sports Medicine)Recommendations have been given concerningthe appropriate selection of foods and fluids, thetime when these should be consumed and the use
of supplements, aiming at optimal health andexercise performance. These have been formed bythe institutions mentioned above.

Our body is like a car engine. It needs fuel to be ina perfect condition, function well, be fast and
captivating. What our body requires is theappropriate combination of fuels, scientificallynamed as nutrients . These fall under three maincategories: the macronutrients (carbohydrates,proteins, fat), the micronutrients (vitamins andminerals) and water, the most abundant nutrient inour body.

The body needs building blocks to develop andpreserve muscle and bone mass.
The body also requires energy to fulfill daily
routine tasks and indulge in physical activity orexercise .
The nutrients our body is in need of can bereceived from food sources only.
No food contains all nutrients! Some foods arerich, whereas others are poor in the samenutrients. That s why we need to consume avariety of foods!
What matters thus, is that each and every biteneeds to be nutrient- rich so as to facilitate ourbody development, health and fitness.
To have a healthy and active lifestyle, Ineed a balanced, healthy diet

ENERGY REQUIREMENTSEnergy requirements = the dietary energy needed to balance
the energy expended and used up for growth
Energy balance: the energy expended and used for growth= the amount of energy taken in
Young athletes and physically active children and adolescents haveincreased energy needs due to the energy they expend throughphysical activity. Meeting those needs is mandatory.
Achieving energy and nutrient balance is essential for proper growth,maintenance of non-fat mass, good function of the immune and thereproductive system, good health and optimum athletic performance.

INADEQUATE ENERGY INTAKE
Inadequate energy intake due to increased energyexpenditure and imbalanced nutrition, have a negativeinfluence on health and athletic performance.
When limited energy is taken in, fat and lean tissue are
used by the body as fuels. Losing muscles results in theloss of strength and endurance.
Chronically low energy intake often results in poor
nutrient intake, particularly micronutrients. fatigue,dehydration, disordered eating, impaired growth,menstrual dysfunction, failure to gain bone density,increased risk for infection and illness

BODY COMPOSITION & SPORTPERFORMANCE
Body composition and weight Both contribute to optimalexercise performance.
Body weight can influence an athletes speed, endurance, andpower. Body composition can affect an athletes strength, agility,and appearance.
Body fat adds to weight without adding to strength.
However, remember : Too little body fat results in health problemsand performance deterioration.
There is a need for a healthy body weight and body fat.

Proteins are essentialfor growth and repair of tissues.
PROTEINS

24/108
ROLE OF PROTEIN IN THE BODY Proteins are present in our body in the form of:
enzymes and coenzymes, blood transport molecules,the intracellular matrix, hormones, nucleic acids andother molecules essential for life.
Protein major functions include:
Growth Cellular structure and function Participation in body processes in the form of enzymes, some hormones and antibodies
Energy supply, in cases of emergency
Signs of Deficiency : Dry-brittle hair, edema,cirrhosis, fatty liver, dry skin, diarrhea-electrolyte imbalance- dehydration, susceptibilityto infections

Our body creates its own proteins using amino acidsfrom food sources.Protein Quality : Some of the protein you eatcontains all the amino acids needed to build newproteins High biological value proteins (animalsources). Protein sources that lack one or more "essential"amino acids Low biological value proteins (plantsources, including vegetables, cereals and grains)Get a good mix of proteins. Have a combination of
high and low biological value proteins (e.g. lentils andchicken breast or omelet with whole grain bread).Body proteins are not an energy source. In case of inadequate energy intake, they get oxidized to providethe body with fuel.

10-15% of total daily energy intake
Requirements for children and adolescents: 0,9-1,2 g/ Kg/ d
Protein-rich foods : animal protein sources (meat, poultry, fish,
eggs, cheese, milk, yogurt, etc.), vegetable protein sources (legumes, whole grains, nuts, etc).
Note: Fish is a delicious and heart-healthy source of protein

Why do athletes need
more protein?
-
8/14/2019 Nutrition & Athletic Performance
28/108
Why Do Athletes Need MoreProtein?
To replace, repair and build new proteins, since a number of protein substances and tissues have been normallydestroyed during exercise or physical activity.
To repair exercise induced micro- damage to muscle fibers.
Athletes require additional protein intakes to increase musclemass.
In cases of increased energy needs, protein is used forenergy production.
-
8/14/2019 Nutrition & Athletic Performance
29/108
Health Risks from High ProteinIntake
Increased caloric intake from any source, includingprotein, is stored in the form of fat .
Increased liver & kidney function to excrete protein
metabolic byproducts, resulting into:kidney inadequacy to reabsorb calcium (Ca) susceptibility to fractions and osteoporosis (in thefuture)
excretion of protein metabolic byproducts with theurine dehydration impaired performance
Animal protein sources: rich in high biological valueprotein, but also rich in bad saturated fatty acids

Carbohydrates provide the body with the fuel it needs forphysical activity and for proper organ function.Foods rich in carbohydrate give the body glucose (alsoknown as blood sugar)Glucose is the main body fuel and the only fuel of the
brain and the central nervous systemWithout carbohydrates we cannot concentrate, participatein sports successfully, we get tired and feel sleepy moreeasily.Carbohydrates deliver the essential fiber in our body regulation of sugar uptake by the body, satiety,prevention of constipationCarbohydrates play a role in fat metabolism (to burn fat we need carbohydrates!) and the absorption of Ca and P.
CARBOHYDRATE REQUIREMENTS
-
8/14/2019 Nutrition & Athletic Performance
31/108
What Happens to the Carbohydratewe Eat Once it Enters Our Body?
FoodCarbohydrates
They are broken down into
simple sugars andglucose (known as bloodsugar)
Glucose is metabolized
to give energy forbody functions.
Glucose is stored in theliver and muscles in theform of glycogen ( an energy store).
The excess of
glucose canbe convertedinto fat and bestored inadiposetissue
The Sequence of Chemical Reactions
-
8/14/2019 Nutrition & Athletic Performance
32/108
Glycogen is important since the bodyneeds glucose stores to controlblood glucose levels.
Glycogen stores are limited theconsumption of carbohydrates is
essential!
-
8/14/2019 Nutrition & Athletic Performance
33/108
REMEMBER Bodys ability to carry out prolonged physicaleffort , depends on whether the working muscle isconstantly supplied with glucose .
The body cannot use up total muscle glycogen, andthus uses exclusively the amount stored inworking muscles .
During exercise: glycogen stores are usuallydepleted after 60-90 minutes of moderateintensity physical activity. Then liver glycogenis activated to keep blood glucose levelswithin normal ranges. If we dont taken incarbohydrates after exercise, liver glycogenstores will be depleted soon and we will end
up with a feeling of fatigue.
-

34/108
Carbohydrate sources : bread, breakfast cereals,rusks, legumes, milk and yogurt, potatoes, corn,vegetables, spaghetti and pasta, rice, fruit
Not all carbohydrates are good : The best
sources of carbohydrates fruit, vegetables,legumes and whole grain bakery goodsdeliveressential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and containimportant phytonutrients.
Note : For optimal health, opt for unprocessedgoods, such as whole wheat bread and breakfastcereals, brown rice, etc.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND!
IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER!
-

35/108
Processing of grainshave removed the
bran and the germ,thus processed grains(like wheat, barley,rye, rice) tend tocause rapid spikes inblood sugar thanwhole grains.
Processing leavemostly the starchyendosperm. Processedgrains (like whitebread) have lost 50%of vitamins B, 90% of vitamin E and almostall their fiber.

FATS
They have a bad name, but things are not truly as such! Fats areclassified both as good and bad.
Sources of good fat include olive oil, olives, avocado, nuts andseeds, fish, eggs (in moderation). They contain monounsaturated
and polyunsaturated fatty acids .Sources of bad fat include fried foods, cookies, burgers, sweetsand generally ready-to -eat foods. They contain saturated andtrans fatty acids.

FATS
Dietary fat is essential for health and exercise performance,since it:
constitutes part of the structure membrane of every cell
contributes to energy production (through the process of
lipolysis) is essential for the synthesis of sex hormones & other hormone-
like substances
it essential for the production of the enzyme lipoprotein lipase,
which plays a significant role in metabolic processes carries & transports the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K)

Bad Fats: block the good function of your body and
do bad to our heart.
lead to weight gain eat them inmoderation!
Good Fats : are good for your health, protect your body, heart
and brain. need also to be consumed in moderation Healthy sweet are for example marmalade, honey,
dried fruits, homemade cookies and cake withwhole meal flour
FATS
example, we can eat 1 little chocolate every day butbad to eat 5 sweets a day !

VITAMINS
What are they?
Organic, non-caloric compounds that help regulatefat, carbohydrate and protein metabolism in the body.
They cannot be synthesized and thus they need to beprovided by food.
They are classified as: water-soluble and fat-soluble
Water-soluble: B-complex vitamins, vitamin C,pantothenic acid, folic acid, biotin. They cannot bestored in the body, so they are taken in through thediet.
Fat-soluble: Vitamins A, D, E and K. Although thesevitamins can be stored, they should still be part of a

CALCIUM (Ca)Functions :
Development and maintenance of bones and teethBlood clotting
Muscle contraction and transmission of nerve impulses
Heart rhythm regulation
Body fat regulation
99% of the Ca in the human body is stored in bonesand teeth. The remaining 1% is found in the blood andother tissues.

CALCIUM (Ca)
REMEMBER
Calcium needs during adolescence are greaterthan in childhood or adulthood because of therapid development of the skeletal system.
Inadequate dietary calcium increases the risk of low bone mineral density (BMD) risk of
fractions and osteoporosis later in life
-
8/14/2019 Nutrition & Athletic Performance

Dietary Sources of Calcium (Ca)
Excellent Sources: dairy products (milk, yogurt,cheese) Ca is highly absorbable when these foodsare consumed.
Good Sources : fish consumed with bones (e.g.sardines), sesame seeds, dark leafy vegetables or
dried beansCa is less absorbable through these foods.

Drinking enough water is part of good nutrition All the tissues in our body contain water
Our body is composed of water by 60-75%
Exercise performance is optimal when athletesmaintain fluid balance during exercise.
Athletes should be well-hydrated before, during
and after exercise.

Drinking water is essentialbecause it:
facilitates digestion process
helps your kidneys remove wastes from your body
transfers nutrients to cells
facilitates the proper function of thegastrointestinal system
improves blood circulation and thus, regulatesbody temperature
Not drinking enough water may lead to:slow down of your metabolism, body fat gain, poormuscle tone, kidney problems, constipation, nausea
and weakness.

In the beginning of 60s a research started beingconducted in 7 countries including Greece. Theaim of that research was to detect the
percentages of morbidity and mortality in thosecountries, find where the smaller ones appear and try to figure out the reasons leading to them.
After a 10 year research, scientists came up withthe following incredible results...!

... People who lived in Crete , not only did they have the lowest
percentages of morbidity &
mortality, world widely , but they also exhibited the lowest percentages of:
cancer
coronary heart disease other chronic diseases linked to
nutrition (i.e diabetes)
On the contrary, they appeared tohave the highest percentages of longevity, world widely.(Consensus Statement 2000)

Low- fat protein sources.Fish is rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fats.Chicken and turkey are low in bad- saturated fat.Egg whites are a pure protein source, without cholesterol,whereas egg yolks are cholesterol- rich & should be consumed3-4 a week.
DairyEssential for developing and maintaining strong bones & teeth.
They are the main sources of Ca & vitamin D (when fortified). They contain a lot of bad saturated fat, so opt for fat-reducedmilk, yogurt & cheese.
Use Sparingly: Red Meat and Butter These sit at the top of the Pyramid because they contain lots of saturated fat.
Use Sparingly: Refined GrainsWhite Bread, Rice & Pasta,Potatoes, Sugary Drinks and Sweets, SaltFrequent consumption of those weight gain, diabetes, heartdisease, and other chronic disorders

Fish, Omega-3 and memoryFish the perfect food for the brain!
It is the major source of the essential omega-3fatty acids (a kind of polyunsaturated fattyacids)
Omega-3 fatty acids are: -linolenic (LA),Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) anddocosahexanoic acid (DHA).
The body cannot synthesize LA, thats why it isan essential fatty acid,
EPA and DHA are derivatives of a-linolenicacid.

Fish Omega 3 and memory
-

71/108
Fish, Omega-3 and memory The central nervous system (CNS) is highly composed of lipids. These brain lipids contain very high amounts of PUFAs,
particularly AA ( arachidonic acid, omega-6) and DHA(docosahexanoic acid, omega-3) (25%)
Since the brain is the major component of the CNS,polyunsaturated fatty acids are necessary to keep brain cellsin a good condition.
DHA ( in fish) and AA ( in meat, milk) are the majorconstituents of neural cell membrane phospholipids
Omega-3 fatty acids can be obtained only from food A dietpoor in omega-3 may alter the function of nervous systemcells and impair intellectual and cognitive development

basis of the Healthy Food Pyramid. Why?
These two related elements strongly influenceyour state of health. They also affect what you eatand how your food affects you.
Exercise and weight control are also linked withthe simple rule of energy balance:
Weight change = calories taken in caloriesexpended
If you burn as many calories as you take in eachday, there's nothing left over for storage in fat cells.Eat more than you burn, though, and you end upadding fat. Regular exercise can help you controlyour weight, and it is key part of any weight-loss
effort.

( All is good, but in moderation!)
Forget about calories and focus on quality
Healthy Eating Pyramid is a general, flexible guide to how(the kind of food) you should eat and in what frequency .
The amounts can vary depending on your body size andphysical activity
There's just one basic guideline to remember : Ahealthy diet includes more foods from the base of thepyramid than from the higher levels of it.
Choose a variety of fresh, unprocessed foods from allthe food groups below the "Use Sparingly" category.
That way you will be receiving all the nutrients youneed.
Perhaps the only foods that are truly off-limits are foods

Remember!
To maintain good levels of energy - without sharp peaks andvalleys eat every three hours .
After 3-4 hours, our stomach is empty and blood glucoselevels have been reduced. The brain, to operate at toplevel, needs a constant supply of glucose, because it can'tstore any.
Keeping up mental work requires a large turnover of brainglucose and snacks help to replenish it.

98/108
Dehydration decreases exercise performance .
Hydrate yourself before, during and after exercise .2 hours before exercise 400 to 600 mL of fluid should beconsumed, and during exercise 150 to 350 mL of fluidshould be consumed every 15 to 20 min depending on
tolerance. After exercise the athlete should drinkadequate fluids to replace sweat losses during exercise.
Fluids and electrolytes are needed to balance fluid
losses carbohydrate containing fluids (e.g. fruit juices)and salt- containing foods (e.g. cheese and a slice of bread) facilitate water absorption
Key points for exerciseBefore exercise a meal or snack should provide:
-
8/14/2019 Nutrition & Athletic Performance
99/108
Before exercise , a meal or snack should provide: sufficient fluids to maintain hydration adequate carbohydrate to maximize maintenance of blood
glucose relatively low fat and fibre to minimize gastrointestinal distressDuring exercise the primary goals are to : replace fluid losses provide carbohydrates to keep blood glucose levels within
normal ranges
Beverages containing carbohydrate in concentrations of 4% to8% are recommended for intense exercise events lastinglonger than 1 h . good drink is 200-240ml fruit juice diluted with water (1:1) every hour
After exercise , the dietary goals are to:
provide adequate energy and carbohydrates for glycogensynthesis in the muscles. carbohydrate intake like a glass of fresh juice during the first 30 min and again every 2 h for 4 to6 h will be adequate to replace glycogen stores
repair muscle tissue. Protein need to be consumed get fully hydrated, replacing all the fluids lost
