NUTRIENTS



Nutrient can be classified into macronutrient and micronutrient.
  • Macronutrients : daily requirement of the nutrient is more than 1 g / day such as carbohydrate, protein and fat.
  • Micronutrients : daily requirement of the nutrient is less than 1 g / day such as itamin and mineral.

Calorie providing nutrient including carbohydrate, protein and fat while non energy providing nutrient include vitamin, mineral and water.

MACRONUTRIENTS
Carbohydrate
The majority of carbohydrate in the diet come from plants, an exception being milk. Carbohydrate are the most importance source of energy in the diet, being the primary energy source for exercising muscles, the brain and central nervous system. Carbohydrates are classified according to their structure into simple or complex carbohydrates.
  • Primary source of energy that provide glucose necessary for glycogen stores.
  • 1 g CHO = 4 kcal
  • CHO should contribute 55% – 70% from total energy intake
  • Recommendations: 6-10 g/kg body weight/day
  • Optimum CHO needs depend on:
  • Total energy
  • Body size
  • Duration, intensity and type of exercise
  • Glycemic Index ( a factor that rank food from 0 to 100 based on the rate at which a food raises the blood glucose level.

Types: sample and complex

Source of Carbohydrate 
Situation
CHO Recommendation
Low intensity @ training program less than 60-90 min/day
5-7 g/kg body weight/day
Training program more than 90-120 min/day
7-10 g/kg body weight/day
Extreme exercise program in between 6-9 hours/day (cross country cyclist
10-12 g/kg body weight/day
CHO loading for endurance & ultra endurance athletes
7-10 g/kg body weight/day
Rapid recovery after training session @ competition multiple day (duration in between session is less than 8 hours)
1 g/kg body weight (the first 30 min after competition) repeat intake of 1 g/kg body weight every 1-2 hours until actual requirement achieved
  •  Simple CHO or Sugars include table sugar, fruits and fruit juices, honey, milk and milk products, cola and breakfast cereals.
  • Complex CHO or starches include rice, bread, pasta,  sweet corn, pulses, potatoes, animal muscle and liver.
  • Carbohydrate recommendation according to situation.

Protein
Protein is needed to build and maintain all the cells in the body, a unique function that no other nutrient can fulfill. Cells are constantly being replaced and an intake of protein is therefore needed on a daily basis. During periods of growth and development there is an additional need for protein hence, children and adolescents will have a proportionally greater requirement than adults.

If carbohydrate and fats are not eaten in sufficient amounts, protein can be used to meet energy demands. Protein cannot be stored for later use like carbohydrate and fat, so if more protein is consumed than the body needs for growth, maintenance and repair, the excess protein is either broken down and used for energy or converted into fat and stored.

Proteins are made up of amino acids linked together in long chains. The body needs 20 different amino acids for its structure and function. Eight of these amino acids are essential, cannot be made by the body and must therefore be provided by the diet.

Functions:
  • Growth and maintenance
  • Structural components
  • Enzymes
  • Hormones
  • Antibodies

Types: Complete and incomplete protein

Requirement:
  • Sedentary adults – 0.8 g/kg bw
  • Active adults – 1.0 g/kg bw
  • Endurance athletes – 1.2 to 1.4 g/kg bw
  • Strength athletes – 1.4 to 1.8 g/kg bw


Sources of protein
  • Animal sources include meat, offal, poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs, milk and milk products. 
  • Vegetable source include beans, peas and lentils, nuts and seeds, tofu, soya and soya milk, textured vegetable protein.

Fat
Dietary fat is a vital nutrient and should be included in the diet. Although a large percentage of the population consumes too much fat, it is both unnecessary and unhealthy to try to exclude fat totally from the diet.
  •  Becomes the primary fuel source during endurance exercise events since the body’s supply of CHO (blood glucose and glycogen) is limited.
  •  1 g fat = 9 kcal
  • Recommendations: Endurance athletes: 20-25% of energy athletes, trying to lose weight : 20% of energy.
  •  Functions: (i) Provides essential fatty acids (linoleic and a-linolenic acid) and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K); (ii) Parts of structural components of cell membrane, brain,  and  spinal cord tissue; (iii)Body uses fat to store extra energy, which can be used to provide fuel to the working muscle; (iv) Stored as adipose tissue and protects the organs; (v) Satisfy hunger; (vi) Add taste to food
  •  Fat is less efficient than glucose as a source of energy since it requires more oxygen to be used
  •  Classification: visible vs. invisible
Visible fat include butter, margarine, ghee, oils, cream, fat on meat and poultry skin.
Invisible fat include fat present in all but the very lean cuts of meat, whole milk, eggs, meat products, chips, fried food and pastry, salad cream, chocolate and creamy sauces.

The different types of fats in the diets
Dietary fats are made up of different mixtures of fatty acids which may be saturated, monounsaturated or polyunsaturated. Fat containing a high proportion of saturated fatty acids tend to be solid at room temperature while those that contain high proportions of unsaturated fatty acids are usually liquid at room temperature.

Saturated fats e.g. meat and poultry, dairy product.
Monounsaturated fats e.g. olive oil, peanuts, almonds, avocado, pears, rapeseed oil.
Polyunsaturated fats e.g. sunflower, corn, soya bean, cottonseed and safflower oils, only fish and lean meat.

Essential fatty acids which the diet must supply include the omega-6 (linolenic acid) and omega-3 (alpha linolenic acid). The are vital for the development of cell membranes and are involved in the regulation of immune responses and blood clotting.

Cholesterol is an essential part of cell membranes. It is involved in protecting nerve fibres and plays a role in the production of vitamin D. Dietary sources of cholesterol are of animal origin only, namely egg yolks, liver and kidney, fish roes and shellfish. However, the main source of cholesterol in the blood is not directly from diet cholesterol. Cholesterol is made in the liver and high intakes of saturated fats are associated with increased levels of blood cholesterol. A raised level of blood cholesterol is a risk indicator for heart disease.

MICRONUTRIENT
Vitamins and minerals are found naturally in food and are vital in the maintenance of all body functions. They help to maintain health and prevent disease. Different foods supply different vitamins and minerals in varying amounts and therefore a wide range of foods must be includes in a diet if requirements for these essential nutrients are to be met. The Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNI) Malaysia (NCCFN,2005) provides the amount of nutrient that is sufficient for almost every individual. If an individual consumes the RNI of a nutrient, that person is most unlikely to be deficient in that nutrient.

Vitamins
Vitamins do not provide energy, although some are involved in the release of energy from food. The requirements, functions and food sources of water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamin are as follows:

  • Body temperature regulation through sweating mechanism.
  • Medium for chemical reaction during digestion
  • To keep joints and eye well lubricated.

Fluids intake and fluids loss
  • Fluids intake: Water, food and drinks.
  • Fluids loss: Urine, breathe, sweat, faces.

General Recommendation for Athletes
It is no coincidence that the diet that is currently being promoted for better health and reduced risk for a long term disease and premature death forms the foundation of the diet for sporting performance. A good diet will contain a wide variety of foods in other to ensure that all the nutrients are present in the required amounts. There are no “good” or “bad’ foods. All foods can fit in to overall diet, but the frequency with which some foods are consumed and infrequency of other being consumed will lead to one diet being good while another will be not so good.

General Eating Rules:
  • Eat 5 – 6 times a day (3 meals plus 2 – 3 snacks) every 3 hours. Do not allow more than 5 hours between meals.
  • Eat within one hour of awakening. Start your day with breakfast.
  • Eat a small snack in the afternoon and before bedtime.
  • Eat before you become hungry.
  • Distribute calories during the day. Eat dinner by 7.30 pm to 8.00 pm and keep supper light.
  • Drink 200 ml of water  10 minutes before each meal. Drink 1.5 liter of water or preferably sports drinks for every hour to training.
  • Take time and sit down in a calm environment to eat. Enjoy your food.
  • Carbohydrate rich foods and drinks should make up at least half of all meals and snacks.
  • Follow the food Pyramid Guide. Keep each meal as close to its recommendation.

PERTOLONGAN CEMAS/BANTU MULA

Definisi
Pertolongan segera/awalan yang diberikan kepada pesakit dengan yang mengalami kemalangan sebelum mendapat rawatan dari doctor atau pakar.

Perinsip-prinsip Pertolongan Cemas
  1. Menyelamatkan nyawa pesakit
  2. Mengurangkan kesakitan
  3. Mengelakkan dari keadaan bertambah buruk
  4. Mendapatkan bantuan doctor atau menghantar pesakit ke hospital
Arahan Am Untuk Memberi Rawatan Bantu Mula
  1. Bertindak dengan cepat dan tenang
  2. Dapatkan bantuan orang yang berhampiran untuk membuat panggilan kecemasan seperti ambulan, hospital, klinik dan sebagainya.
RICE
Biasanya teknik ini digunakan untuk pesakit yang mempunyai kemalangan seperti terseliuh, dislokasi, retak tulang atau patah tulang.
  •  R (Rest) - Rehatkan bahagian yang cedera
  • I (Ice) - Gunakan ais atau sentuhkan pada bahagian yang cedera selama 15 minit hingga 20 minit dalam jangka masa 2 hingga 3 jam.
  • C (Compression) - Balut bahagian yang tecedera
  • E (Elevation) - Tinggikan bahagian yang tercedera itu melebihi paras jantung (45 dajah atau 4 inci dari pinggang)
Teknik RICE diaplikasikan terhadap kecederaan
Pendarahan - 
  1. Tekan kawasan yang berdarah dengan kain yang bersih sehingga pendarahan berhenti (darah membeku)
  2. Jika darah masih mengalir, balut kawasan yang cedera dalam keadaan yang yang lebih tinggi dari jantung dan otak mangsa.
  3. Praktikan RICE
  4. Hantar mangsa segera ke hospital.
Terseliuh (Dislocation)
  1. Kecederaan di bahagian sendi akibat daya dari luar yang kuat menyebabkan ligament tertarik atau koyak. Kawasan kecederaan biasa di pergelangan tangan atau kaki, di bahagian siku, bahu dan lutut
  2. Rehatkan kawasan yang cedera (Rest)
  3. Letakkan ais yang telah dibungkus di dalam kain ke tempat cedera (Ice)
  4. Balut tempat yang cedera  (Compression)
  5. Tinggikan tempat cedera dari paras jantung (Elevation)
  6. Hantar ke hospital.
Ketegangan Otot
  1. Kecederaan pada otot arkibat keregangan yang berlebihan akibat penggunaan otot di dalam jangka masa yang terlalu lama atau penggunaan otot secara berlebihan seperti mengangkat benda-benda berat. 
  2. Tandanya ialah rasa sakit akibat kekejangan di bahagian otot-otot yang terlibat diikuti dengan bengkak. Gunakan teknik RICE
Terkehel
  1. Kecederaan di sendi yang melibatkan tulang terkeluar dari kedudukan asalnya. Biasanya di bahu,siku, jari darang rahang. Terkehel mungkin diikuti dengan patah tulang. Tanda-tandanya ialah sakit di bahagian yang cedera dengan tidak boleh menggerakkan bahagian yang cedera.
  2. Rehatkan kawasan yang cedera
  3. Jangan sekali-kali cuba memasukan sendi yang terkeluar itu ke tempat asal
  4. Jangan lakukan banyak pergerakan
  5. Balut dengan padding atau anduh di tempat yang cedera
  6. Hantar ke hospital dengan segera





KECEDERAAN DALAM SUKAN
TOTAPS
  •  T (Talk) – Bercakap dengan mangsa yang mengalami kecederaan. Bolehkah mangsa itu bercakap? Tanya mangsa; tujuanny mengetahui serba sedikit latar belakang kemalangan dan keadaan mengsa seperti: Dimana bahagian yang sakit/tempat tercedera?......peringkat kesakitan! Bagaimana dengan penglihatan (kabur atau jelas?) ……. Boleh mendengar atau tidak?
  •  O (Observe) – Lihat, perhatikan dan periksa tempat kecederaan dan keadaan mangsa seperti di bahagian kepala dan kulit (lebam, bengkak atau pendarahan), perubahan suhu badan serta pernafasan dan denyutan nadi (normal atau tidak). Perhatikan dan pastikan darjah kecederaan mangsa.
  •  T – (Touch) – Sentuh bahagian yang cedera dengan perlahan dan berhati-hati. Periksa sebarang bengkak atau defomiti yang dialami anggota badan yang terlibat. Beritahu dahulu mangsa sebelum memeriksa dan menyentuh bahagian tercedera. Ini mengelakkan mangsa terkejut dengan sentuhan tersebut.
  •  A – (Active Movement) – Arahkan dan minta mangsa supaya menggerakan anggota badan yang cedera seperti tangan, kaki dan kepala; tujuannya mengesan tahap kecederaan. Mangsa akan melakukan pergerakan sendiri secara aktif tanpa bantuan orang lain. Sekiranya mangsa rasa sakit, rujuk kepada pakar perubatan dengan segera.
  •  P - (Passive Movement) – Bantu sekiranya mangsa tidak dapat mengerakkan bahagian anggotanya sendiri. Beritahu mangsa tersebut bahawa kita hendak membantunya untuk menggerakkan anggotanya. Bantu menggerakkan bahagian yang cedera secara perlahan-lahan; tujuan untuk memeriksa/menentujanb tahap kecederaan/kesakitan yang dialami. Reganghkan otot dan benarkan bermain semula jika pasti kecederaan tidak serius
  •  S - (Skill / Kemahiran) – Arahkan mangsa melakukan pergerakan asas seperti berdiri, berjalan, berlari dan melimpat sambil melakukan kemahiran permsinsn ysng mudah untuk memastikan tahap kecederaan yang dialami. Jika terasa sakit, bawa mangsa ke hospital atau klinik untuk mendapatkan rawatan doctor stsu psrsmedik. Jika tidak ada tanda berlakunya kecederaan yang khusus, benarkan mengsa meneruskan aktiviti.






 DR. ABC
  •  D (Danger) – Pastikan pembantu mula dan mangsa berada dalam keadaan selamat, jika tidak pindahkan mangsa.
  •  R (Respon) – Pastikan mangsa ada respon. Jika mangsa tidak sedarkan diri, tepuk bahu dan panggil nama mangsa. Minta bantuan, hubungi pihak hospital.
  •  A (Air Way) – Periksa saluran pernafasan mangsa. Baringkan mangsa dan buangkan segala benda asing di dalam mulut mangsa
  •  B (Breathing) – Periksa pernafasan mangsa dengan tiga cara. Pandang pergerakan dada. Dengar bunyi pernafasan mangsa. Rasa pernafasan mangsa dengan pipi. Jika tiada berikan dua hembusan bantuan percuma.
  •  C (Circulation) – Pastikan nadi mangsa berfungsi – rasa/semak nadi di nadi carotid atau di leher. Jika tidak, lakukan CPR. (Cardio Pulmponary Resusitation).
Setelah itu, letakkan mangsa dalam posisi baringan pemulihan.


CPR
Resusitasi Kardio Pulmonari adalah kaedah pemulihan gabungan pemulihan pernafasan dengan pemulihan pergerakan jantung yang terhenti. Di dalam kaedah ini, pemulihan pernafasan yang dilakukan adalah secara mulut ke mulut atau mulut ke hidung. Manakala permjulihan pergerakan jantung adalah secara mengenakan tekanan di bahagian tertentu dada.

Cara-cara melakukan CPR
  • Periksa keadaan mangsa dan lihat gerak balasnya. Jika tiada gerak balas atau pernafasan terhenti, telefon unit kecemasan (999) dan segera berikan perhatian kepada mangsa.
  •  Dongakkan kepala mangsa dan angkat dagu ke atas
  •  Lihat, sengar dan rasa: Letakkan telinga anda di mulut mangsa. Jika tiada pernafasan, bersedia berikan dua kali bantuan pernafasan. Keluarkan benda asing (jika ada) dari mulut mangsa.
  •  Buka mulut mangsa dan picit hidungnya dengan jari anda. Hembus nafas melalui mulut anda ke mulut mangsa sehingga anda lihat ada pergerakan pada dadanya. Berikan bantuan pernafasan dua kali (setiap hembusan dua saat)
  •  Jika mangsa masih tidak bernafas, batuk atau bergerak, tekan dadanya dengan kedua-dua belah tangan anda. Tindihkan tangan kanan ke atas tangan kiri anda dan tekan dada mangsa 15 kali. Dua hembusan dan 15 tekanan dikira satu pusingan. Buat dua pusingan.Pastikan kedudukan yang hendak ditekan adalah betul, iaitu dua sentimeter dari ulu hati (hujung tulang dada, di antara buah dada). Pastikan tangan anda lurus dan beri tekanan perlahan (dari tangan anda sahaja, bukan dari badan). Tekanan perlu dibuat dengan cepat pada kadar 100 tekanan/minit; lebih cepat dari satu tekanan sesaat.
  •  Ulang bantuan pernafasan dan tekan dada sebanyak empat kali atau hingga bantuan sampai.
  •  Jika mangsa bernafas, alihkan badan mangsa supaya mengiring bagi membolehkan mangsa bernafas dengan lebih baik.
