Too many young children in the United States are being raised on diets that are too high in fat. Other nutritional concerns include malnutrition in early childhood and the inadequate diets of many children living in poverty. The child’s life should be centered on activities, not meals. Regular exercise should not be a part of young children’s lives.

Consider the following and answer the questions.
There are an estimated 75,000 supplements on the market and 73% of adults in Canada take a natural health product1 regularly. Millions of whom, take vitamin and mineral supplements. Multivitamin supplements are the most frequently used. Among Canadian adults of all ages, women are more likely than men to take a multivitamin (Guo, X., et al., 2009).
1 Natural health product – any pill, capsule, tablet, liquid, or powder that contains vitamins, minerals, herbal remedies, homeopathic or traditional medicines such as Chinese medicines, probiotics, amino acids, or essential fatty acids; intended to increase dietary intake of these substances.
Many people think that vitamin and mineral supplements are helpful and safe in any amount. The Natural Health Products Directorate of Health Canada (https://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/prodnatur/applications/licen-prod/lnhpd-bdpsnh-eng.php) regulates the minimum and maximum dose of vitamins and minerals that are permitted in supplements. However, unlike the pharmaceutical industry, the supplement industry has less rigorous regulations around these products. It is important to consider, that like most industries, the supplement industry is about making money – in fact, billions of dollars are spent every year by consumers.
The good news is, you are learning about vitamins and minerals, essential fatty acids, etc. and their function, as well as their DRIs, ULs, and related deficiencies. While there is strong evidence to either back or refute some common notions about supplements, majority of the general public do not read these scientific journal articles and often make uninformed or misinformed decisions about supplement use.
Do you take any natural health products? Consider all those listed above, including vitamin or mineral supplements. If your answer is “Yes”, why do you take them? Perhaps it is a “diet insurance policy” in case your diet is not nutritionally adequate? Perhaps it is for “health insurance” to protect against certain diseases? If your answer is “No”, why have you chosen not to take any natural health products?In your opinion and based on what you have learned so far in this course: Can vitamin and mineral supplements take the place of a balanced diet? Why or why not? You should provide a clear, detailed, and well-justified opinion/argument whether you are for or against supplements with evidence of insight and application to course content and what you have learned in your readings. You are required to reference at least 2 research papers/scientific journal articles to help back up your argument. In addition, you may cite your text and/or other sources and/or discuss personal experience.Some points you may also want to consider in your short opinion piece (500-700 words):– What are some of the risks and benefits, if any?– What are some valid reasons for taking a supplement?– What are invalid reasons for taking a supplement?– How did vitamins and minerals earn the reputation of being cure-alls?– Supplements must be safe or the government wouldn’t allow their sales, right?

 

Identify an individual currently on an intermittent fasting diet, another who is on a gluten-free diet, and someone else on the Paleo diet.

Would you recommend any of these diets or any other structured diet to a future client? If so, list the diet and describe how would you determine its appropriateness for a client. If you would not recommend any of these or other structured diets, detail why.2. Critically evaluate any three popular fat loss programs or diet programs (e.g. Jenny Craig, etc) that are currently in the marketplace today. How do they stack up against each other relative to their nutritional profile, ability to support intense training, and ability to provide lasting results? How does evaluation of diet programs help you in your future training endeavors? What will you be looking for and why?3. Identify two popular multivitamin formulas and list the ingredients of each. Compare the ingredients with one another. If they are different, why do you think there is a variance between the two? Are they marketed towards different audiences? And if so, how?

Meet with an athlete that has experienced dehydration amidst an athletic competition (e.g. marathon running, all-day soccer tournament, etc.) Describe the experience. Was it a sudden onset? Was it over a period of time? What symptoms occurred? What could have been done in advance to avoid dehydration? Why is consistent hydration important for both function and performance? How will you incorporate proper hydration into future training endeavors?5. Pick five supplements currently on the market. Find research based on the supplements and the ingredients. What were the results? Were the studies funded by the supplement company? Is this a supplement backed by credible science? If not, why do you think that so many people are currently using it?6. Identify two serious bodybuilders and two serious anaerobic athletes. (You can find the athletes through an online search, in your gym, from a magazine, etc.) Describe each athlete’s training program. Based on what you have learned in the course, identify reasons for the program’s success or failure at maximizing muscle mass and minimizing fat stores.7. Meet with at least three individuals that are new to training and nutrition. For each client, identify and describe three limiting factors (refer to Unit 20). Identify and describe a specific action plan to eliminate these factors from each client’s current nutrition plan.8. Describe the following for each major macronutrient category (protein, carbohydrates, fats):role in energy productionrole in performancerecommended types (for the generally healthy public)types that are not recommendedfoods that you would recommend within the macronutrient category and whyHow does knowledge of macronutrients help you in your future training endeavors?

 

Take your blood pressure and the blood pressure of someone else. List both the systole and diastole. Define systole, diastole, and list the ranges of excellent, good, fair, and poor. Do you see any correlations between blood pressure and lifestyle, stress level, or activity level? How will you incorporate knowledge of blood pressure into your future training endeavors?2. Have a graded exercise test (GXT) performed on you by a qualified physician. Describe the experience. What were the results? Are you surprised by the results, or are they as expected? How does this learning experience influence your future training endeavors?3. Use the Karvonen method and the general method (220-age) to determine the target heart rate for yourself and four individuals. What are the differences between the two. What method do you think is more appropriate and why? Once you determine target heart rate for yourself, perform any exercise until you reach your target heart rate. (Only attempt this experience if you are in good health and have a solid grasp on how to achieve your target heart rate. Be sure to warm up and cool down.) What exercise did you do? How did you monitor your heart rate? How long did it take to get into your target heart rate? How long did you remain in the target range? How will you use target heart rate in your future training endeavors?4. Meet with three individuals who have been regularly working out for over a year. Test different fitness components such as maximal strength, strength endurance, aerobic endurance, flexibility, etc. List the component and the results. How do your results compare to theirs? Is one of you more fit than the other or are you just different from one another? How does this learning experience influence your future training endeavors?5. Following a good warm up, start in a seated position on an exercise ball and jump as high as you can. Do this for a total of three repetitions. Record the height you reach each time you complete the exercise. Next, repeat the process, but start from a standing position. Jump as high as you can. Record the height you reach each time you complete the exercise from standing. Now, compare your results of the seated start and the standing start. In which scenario did you jump higher? Why? Relate this example to weight training technology and explain how it is used in exercise performance.***May require outside research of the stretch-shortening cycle. How will you incorporate this knowledge into your future training endeavors?6.
