UNIVERSITY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES: Sexual Harassment It is the policy of the University to maintain an educational environment free of sexual harassment and intimidation (Rev; HOP, 4.A.3, June 3, 2003). The General Policy Guidelines and Procedures for Reporting and Responding to Sexual Misconduct can be found at http://www.utexas.edu/policies/hoppm/04.a.03.html. Students with Disabilities Services for Students with Disabilities is the area on campus responsible for determining eligibility and implementing reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities at the University of Texas. Federal law is clear on this matter and applies to all students with disabilities. SSD works with undergraduate and graduate students and serves as a resource to faculty, other University departments, agencies, and the Austin area community. Housed in the Office of the Dean of Students, located on the fourth floor of the Student Services Building, the staff (471-6259; TTY471-4641) can assist both students and faculty or staff who have questions about these obligations. Academic Dishonesty Scholastic dishonesty will not be tolerated and that incidents of dishonesty will be reported. When a faculty member suspects a student of cheating, published guidelines (available from the Office of the Dean of Students) should be followed. Faculty can virtually eliminate cheating by specifying the ground rules, by challenging students to practice education ethics, and by creating environments that discourage cheating. It is recommended that faculty include the Honor Code in course syllabi. The Honor Code can be found at http://www.utexas.edu/welcome/mission/html.

PLEASE LIST ANY PHYSICAL CONSIDERATIONS YOU MAY HAVE FOR THIS COURSE (i.e.: KNEE OR BACK INJURIES, VISION IMPAIRMENT, EPILEPTIC, DIABETES, SPORTS INJURIES, etc.) Although exercise testing and participation are relatively safe for most apparently healthy individuals under age forty-five, the reaction of the cardiovascular system to increased levels of physical activity cannot always be totally predicted. Consequently, there is a small but real risk of certain changes occurring during exercise testing and participation. Some of these changes may include abnormal pressure, irregular heart rhythm, fainting, and in rare instances, a heart attack or cardiac arrest. Therefore, it is imperative that you provide honest answers to this questionnaire. Exercise may be contraindicated under some of the conditions listed below, others may simply require special consideration. If any of the conditions apply, consult your physician before you participate in an exercise program. Also, promptly report to your instructor any exercise related abnormalities that you may experience during regular exercise participation. Have you ever had or do you now have any of the following conditions: Myocardial infraction Coronary artery disease Congestive heart failure Elevated blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides) Chest pain at rest or during exertion Shortness of breath Abnormal resting or stress electrocardiogram Uneven, irregular, or skipped heartbeats (including a racing or fluttering heart) Blood embolism Thrombophlebitis Rheumatic heart fever Elevated blood pressure Stroke Diabetes Family history of coronary heart disease, syncope, or sudden death before age sixty Any other heart problem that makes exercise unsafe Do you suffer from any of the following conditions: Arthritis, rheumatism, or gout Chronic low back pain Any other joint, bone, or muscle problems Any respiratory problems Obesity (more than 30% overweight) Anorexia Bulimia Mononucleosis Any physical disability that could interfere with safe exercise participation Do any of the following conditions apply: Do you smoke cigarettes Are you taking any prescription medication Are you forty-five years or older Do you have any other concerns regarding your ability to safely participate in an exercise program?

11. How many lengths of the pool is 450 yards? a. 25 b. 14 c. 16 d. 18 TRUE OR FALSE PLEASE CIRCLE THE CORRECT ANSWER T or F 12. The resistance your body creates in moving through the water is known as drag. T or F 13. Swimming with one's head out of the water will create poor body alignment with the water and increase a swimmer's drag. T or F 14. The use of bi-lateral rhythmic breathing helps to develop proper rolling on both sides of the crawl stroke and will improve stroke mechanics. T or F 15. An advantage of swimming is that it requires the continuous use of more of your body's major muscle groups than do most other forms of exercise. T or F 16. The difference between most competitive and noncompetitive strokes is the amount of gliding used in the stroke. T or F 17. Drag is only important in the horizontal position. T or F 18. Backstroke, Breaststroke, and Freestyle are the ONLY competitive strokes. T or F 19. The correct sequence for swimming the breaststroke is Pull - Breathe - Kick & Glide - 123. T or F 20. The water is wet.
Sports Nutrition 101 Terms CHO = carbohydrate - breads, pasta, candy, soda, potatoes, corn, cereal Kcal = kilocalories = Calories Nutrition Label measures in grams = g Glycemic Index - a measure of how quickly CHO enters bloodstream. High G.I foods = candy, soda, potatoes, bread, Gatorade, raisins Low G.I foods = most fruit, beans, milk, ice cream Energy Costs of Activity During Swimming 400 kcal/1600 m (also depends on VO 2 during workout) versus During Running 100 kcal/mile (depends on body weight) Exercise Fuels Light-Moderate (50-60% VO 2max ): Half Fat/Half CHO Intense (70-90% VO 2max ) : Mostly CHO from muscle glycogen Endurance Training For same absolute VO 2, one uses more fat and less CHO. Muscle glycogen sparing prevents fatigue As one gets fitter, fat supply increasingly comes from intramuscular triglycerides (readily available!) General Protein recommendations For sedentary to moderately active.8g/kg body weight For weight-lifting performance 1-1.5 g/kg body weight For endurance athlete 2g/kg body weight Fat? Excess CHO is stored as saturated fat (palmitate). So, you might as well eat some polyunsaturated fats (good fat) because your body uses these for cellular maintenance and repair. E.g. avocado, salmon, olive oil. FDA recommends no more than 30% diet from fat CHO Recommendations for Performance Before Exercise 1g/kg CHO. Individual preferences. Gastric tolerance varies. Glycemic index irrelevant, but low GI may be detrimental. Eat what you like (probably avoid fat slows gastric emptying), bring a CHO supplement for exercise lasting more than 45-60 minutes (Or CHO + Pro for exercise exceeding 2 hrs. 2.2 lb. = 1kg 50 g CHO 3-4 slices of bread 1 bagel 1 poptart 1 liter Gatorade Check Nutrition Information on pre-packaged foods
Pre - Exercise Meal You don t HAVE to eat before exercise. Some people WANT to eat before intense exercise to ensure blood glucose is maintained. Other people CAN T tolerate food in stomach while exercising. During Exercise 30-60 g CHO during (1 liter of [Gatorade])/hour For exercise exceeding 2 hours, 4:1 CHO:Protein ratio (Accelerade, Perpetuem) Try food during training before you race After Exercise 1.5-2 g CHO/kg body weight (high glycemic index CHO best) every two hours until your next big meal which includes 300g CHO Best to eat CHO + Protein to maximize insulin response which maximally replaces muscle glycogen @ 7-8%/hour (not very fast!) Fluids ACSM recommends enough fluid to replace fluid loss A more practical recommendation is to drink about 1 liter/hour If you are unsure, weight yourself before and after exercise to measure fluid loss Dehydration and Hyponatremia Too little water or too little salt Bottom line either condition impairs performance significantly! Weight Loss? 1 pound fat = approximately 3500 kcals Have to be in caloric deficit to lose weight, period. The composition of your kcals is irrelevant. Diets like Atkins and South Beach are caloric restriction. Meat makes you feel full, dieters get to eat forbidden foods like cheese and meat. They are able to calorically restrict, so they are successful at losing weight. Do not attempt to lose more than 2 lbs per week. Even 1 lb per week is aggressive. 1 lb per week can be accomplished by eating 250 fewer kcals and exercising 250 more kcals per day for 7 days (3500 kcals).
