Over the next six days I'm going to introduce
you to several important concepts you'll need to understand for your job. I'll also
call upon our Fitness Inc. registered dietitian, Jennifer Maxwell, who will pose
some challenges and engage you in some activities designed to help you apply the
concepts you'll be learning. The main focus of this orientation is exercise nutrition.
Specifically, our schedule over the next six days will cover the following topics:
Day 1 The Fuel Supply -- We'll train you regarding the nutrients needed
to fuel exercise of varying intensities and duration. We'll also discuss the effect
of training on the body's use of these nutrients.
Day 2 Carbohydrates
-- We'll talk about the role of carbohydrates
in exercise and the amount recommended for various athletes.
Day 3 Training Effect -- We'll examine the role of training in
helping athletes become better fat burners. We'll also consider the role of fat and
exercise in preventing heart disease.
Day 4 Protein -- We'll consider the amount of protein needed
for strength-trained, endurance-trained and recreational athletes.
Day 5 Dehydration -- We'll help you learn about dehydration and the
methods used to detect and prevent it.
Day 6 Vitamins and
Minerals -- We'll focus on the
nutrients needed to support optimal functioning of the body systems critical to exercise.
In addition, we'll teach you about the need for vitamin and mineral supplements.
This will be a pretty intensive six days' worth of training. Whenever you're ready
