Due Date: Monday 30th October 2017 midnight

Please answer the questions to the best of your ability. Pages 24-31 of the Strength Training text will be

especially useful, but feel free to use other resources if you want.

1. A) Create a 6-column chart containing the following: Carbohydrate, Fat, Protein,

Vitamin, Mineral, Water. Create three horizontal columns for each:

definition/descriptioin/function; examples of sources; energy density.

B) Why is it important to know the energy density of a particular nutrient?

2. State the formula for calculating your Basic Energy Requirement (BER)

3. Calculate your BER. Be sure to base your calculations on the correct energy

level.

4. State the formula for BMI (Body Mass Index) and calculate your BMI.

5. Why is BMI NOT an accurate indication of body fat and body health? ***HINT:

There are two factors considered, and several which are NOT considered… what

are these and why are they important for determining physical health?

6. What is a more effective method for determining body fat percentage / body

composition?

7. What is “glycemic index” and how is it measured?

8. How does knowing a food’s GI help you plan your meals for training and

participating in sports?

9. Find one resource you can use to find the GI of foods you eat.

Nutrition Challenge Questions

10. What are some concerns a student (you or others) may have when undertaking

this challenge for the first time?

11. What are some strategies to use when designing your Nutrition for Performance

Challenge plan / proposal? Explain your answer.

12. PAI 4O1 only: Is it worthwhile participating in the Nutrition for Performance
