Types of Carbohydrate Carbohydrates are also divided into simple and complex forms. Simple sugars (carbs) are absorbed and converted to energy very quickly and provide a rapid source of energy. Fruit and sports drinks are a good source of simple carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates take a bit longer to be digested and absorbed into the body. They also take longer to breakdown and therefore provide energy at a slower rate than simple sugars. Examples of complex carbohydrates are breads, rice and pasta. Starch and fiber are also considered complex carbohydrates but fiber can not be digested or used for energy. Starch is probably the most important energy source in an athlete’s diet because it is broken down and stored as glycogen. Foods high in starch include whole grain breads, cereals, pasta, and grains. The term "complete protein" refers to amino acids, the building blocks of protein. There are 20 different amino acids that can form a protein, and nine that the body can’t produce on its own. These are called essential amino acids—we need to eat them because we can’t make them ourselves. In order to be considered “complete,” a protein must contain all nine of these essential amino acids in roughly equal amounts. Humans don’t need every essential amino acid in every bite of food in every meal they eat; we only need a sufficient amount of each amino acid every day . Most dieticians believe that plant-based diets contain such a wide variety of amino acid profiles that vegans are virtually guaranteed to get all of their amino acids with very little effort . No problem—meat’s not the only contender. Eggs and dairy also fit the bill, which is an easy get for the vegetarians, but there are plenty of other ways to get complete proteins: -Quinoa -Buckwheat -Hempseed -Chia -Soy -Rice and Beans -Ezekiel Bread -Hummus& Pita -Peanut Butter Sandwich | DO NOW: Me Switch! LEARNING TARGETS: We will understand what essential nutrients are and why they are necessary for your overall wellness.
SEED QUESTIONS: What are essential nutrients? How can you recognize the essential nutrients? How would you summarize the difference between macro and micro nutrients? How are non-nutrients related to a healthy diet? Can you elaborate on the methods that a vegetarian or vegan can still get protein in their diets? Compare the different types of carbohydrates? Compare and contrast saturated and unsaturated fats? Analyze your own nutritional habits and write down a list of recommendations for yourself. Create a well balanced, healthy meal menu. ACTIVITY: AM1- Fielding Soccer Am2-Wednesday Workout Am4- Fielding Soccer Pm1- Levitation Pm4-Fielding Soccer FIELDING SOCCER Description Select two even teams, each member wears a softball glove. Game begins with one team in possession of the ball at the centre court set up on the field. Teams attempt to pass the softball with underarm throws only, keeping the ball below shoulder height at all times. Ball is passed to teammates down the field to the scoring half of the ground. When close enough to the scoring cones the fielder calls out “shot”. All players stop, and allow a free shot at the cone (underarm or overarm). Cone must be hit on the full to score one goal. When goal is scored or missed, opposition gets the ball to start at the cone. Balls must be caught on the full, if the ball hits the ground, last team touching the ball lose possession. No running with the ball. Only one person can block or defend the player with the ball. (This stops player with the ball being totally blocked out). Closure: Inside/ Outside Circle |
