Discuss how carbohydrates are utilized when the athlete is actively participating in the sport.

What level of carbohydrate is recommended for this athlete and sport? Discuss how carbohydrates are utilized when the athlete is actively participating in the sport.
The student will prepare a 2-page paper (with at least two APA style references) to address this portion of the project answering the following questions:
1. The student determines the correct percentage of carbohydrate the athlete’s diet needs to contain. This also includes the amount of grams and calories that the carbohydrates provide.
2. The student correctly illustrates the steps in carbohydrate metabolism during athletic activity. Specifically, what energy systems are utilized while your athlete is working out, the aerobic anaerobic or phosphagen energy systems? In other words, how do the cells produce ATP for energy? (Through which process: aerobic, anaerobic or phosphagen). Realize that there may be more than one energy system used here).
3. The student describes the storage of carbohydrate in the athlete. How are excess carbohydrates stored? Are they readily available for this athlete? Do they need to be? How does the ATP production method impact the recommended nutrient intake amount? (From question 1). School of Health Sciences NS425 Unit 3 Assignment.
