Yang Chenghua, a sports nutritionist? Point green, look far? Cheng Hua, who was born in the Department of Food Nutrition, is exploring new knowledge and practicing. In this department where more than 80% are girls, boys are ethnic minorities. Cheng Hua said that since he was a student, he often thought about what he could do besides nutrition, because nutritionists were mainly on campus, hospitals or group catering companies, and individuals were more interested in weight control and catering industry. So I began to study in the catering industry when I was a student, and returned to the field of dietitian after graduation. During this period, he first worked in Yang's health products biotechnology company, where he also learned more about the concept of health food. Later, he worked in Yang's clinic and learned a lot of valuable experience and knowledge in weight loss, weight control and medical care. In addition to weight management, the clinic also has multiple tentacles in the fields of plastic surgery and medical beauty, which is also related to physical maintenance. Because a healthy body is a beautiful display, an unhealthy body can hardly give people a beautiful or handsome feeling, and he has also learned a lot in this respect.
Contact sports discovered a new world of sports nutrition. As he grew older, Cheng Hua was shocked to notice the weight control. Because the body began to age, the metabolism slowed down and became fat, so I went to the gym to exercise. As a nutritionist, he thought it was easy to lose weight and it should not be difficult to gain muscle, so he began to learn to do weight-bearing training. Soon, he found that exercise was not as simple as he imagined, found many problems that he had not noticed in the past, and deeply felt that there was a lot of scientific knowledge in it. Later, an accidental opportunity was inspired by a speech by Professor Guo Jiahua, so I enrolled in the Institute of Sports Science of Taipei City University, where Professor Guo taught, to learn more about this situation. Cheng Hua believes that it is necessary to apply sports nutrition to normal athletes when the national sports atmosphere is prevalent. Because general nutrition should be suitable for athletes, changing posture or promoting sports performance may not be so suitable. Sports nutrition is a new discipline based on the extension of traditional nutrition, and it is a set of knowledge established to take care of everyone's health in the era of material shortage, including nutritional adjustment for various diseases; Sports nutrition is established in the era of material abundance, and its goal is to optimize athletes' sports planning through sports training and appropriate diet strategies. Its viewpoint and cut-in angle are different from traditional nutrition. However, it was not until recent years that people began to pay attention to this knowledge, so it became more and more important.
Deciphering myths through academic research In view of being misled by widely circulated myths, Chenghua began to study sports nutrition. He loves to share, and he doesn't forget to write articles online to share when he is busy with his studies. For example, he used to think that "running for more than 30 minutes can burn fat", but what he learned in the research is completely different, so he hopes to break the myth by sharing knowledge through empirical research. Cheng Hua also mentioned that there are too many specious information on the Internet, and these incorrect information will lead more people to exercise in the wrong way. However, since the information is wrong, the strategy will certainly not be correct, or it will take more efforts and time to achieve it. For example, the concept of "burning fat" mentioned above, through empirical research, is actually "the fat in the body is burning all the time." For another example, in the traditional concept, many people think that losing weight means "reducing or consuming calories", but now Cheng Hua says that the influence of calories is not as important as previously thought, and sometimes the time of eating may be the key to whether you can lose weight effectively. Cheng Hua said, "Professor Guo was using this concept to teach our graduate students." A few years ago, he also put forward a set of assumptions. After collecting more empirical studies in recent years, at the invitation of the Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacy, a theory that shocked the world was published, The New Hypothesis of the Mechanism of Burning Fat by Exercise: Skeletal Muscle Takes away the Sources of Carbohydrates that Can Build Adipose Tissue, which rushed to the top 5% (top 5%) of the global research literature list a few months after publication. Cheng Hua said that there are millions or even tens of millions of research documents published every year in the world. It is also a great thing that Professor Guo's works can be listed on this popular list, showing its value. But strangely, the circulation of this paper is very rare in Asia, and it is circulated in countries with developed sports science such as the United States and Canada, which shows that there is still room for development of sports nutrition in Taiwan Province Province.
Applying what you have learned and popularizing the new concept of sports nutrition have only been paid attention to in recent years, so a lot of knowledge needs to be updated to get the best information. Cheng Hua said that sports nutrition is a personalized subject based on the knowledge of nutrition and sports science, and it needs to be strategically adjusted according to everyone's fitness, endurance and other physical qualities. For example, an athlete with poor digestion will give different suggestions on the choice of food types from other athletes, while an athlete with good digestion may exceed the experimental results in the literature. Because he has benefited a lot from the research, Cheng Hua hopes that more people can understand the knowledge of sports nutrition and let them know, "If you are exercising, you should adopt the method of sports nutrition, which will be more helpful for your body shape change or exercise table, and even more effective for your health improvement. 」
Talking about the period when he began to like sports, Cheng Hua said that he could go back to junior high school. At that time, he performed very well in track and field, and often took the second place, because the first place was almost all in the track and field team, which was already outstanding in the previous advanced classes. Later, I stopped socializing for a few years and went to the gym to start exercising again, only to find that the original exercise was not as simple as he thought, and there was too much knowledge to learn. Now Cheng Hua can be said to have dabbled in many aspects, whether it is aerobic, retraining or high-intensity interval training, he will try, because he thinks that no matter what kind of exercise, it will help human body function to a certain extent. Aerobic endurance exercise, for example, has been proved to promote the blood circulation of the brain and the proliferation of neurons, and make your brain smarter, which may be something that can be improved less just by weight training.
The benefits of sports are worth popularizing. In the future, diseases such as aging and dementia will be a very serious problem in the aging society all over the world. Cheng Hua said that his grandmother had dementia. He has seen the evolution of her illness, and his feelings are very strong. Therefore, he called on the elders to establish exercise habits. However, in Taiwan Province Province, due to the strong concept of entering a higher school in the past, physical education was not paid much attention to, and many related knowledge concepts still remained long ago, especially for the elderly. For example, they think that they should not do weight training when they are old, but in countries with developed sports science abroad, it is found that weight training for the elderly is too beneficial. He said, of course, it still needs a lot of efforts to reverse the wishes of the elderly in Taiwan Province Province, and there may be many empirical cases. It is necessary to convince them that retraining with professional assistance is safe, and at the same time provide a safe operating environment for them to be willing to engage in such sports, so as to have the opportunity to improve their health. Moreover, just like him, he had to set an example in the Mesozoic era in his thirties in order to motivate his elders to form exercise habits together. He said, "If you don't exercise yourself, but keep urging your mother to exercise, it must be unconvincing." In addition, for school-age children, if parents want their children to be smarter, encouraging them to do moderate exercise before learning can help them make some physiological changes. The purpose of this exercise is not to burn calories, but to cause physiological changes in the body. Previous studies have shown that if children can do moderate exercise before learning, the learning effect will be better, or even get twice the result with half the effort. Some foreign schools have arranged physical education class in the first class, so that children can exercise first and then study in the classroom. With the physiological changes brought by sports, they may be able to create more advantageous academic achievements. At present, most parents in Taiwan Province Province may not pay so much attention to their children's sports, and always think it is a waste of time. But now there are many empirical views that exercise is not a waste of time for you, but a more efficient thing.
Exercise can change the quality and length of life. The physiological changes brought by exercise are very important. Cheng Hua said that he would call them "changes in the quality of life", such as better thinking and better quality of life, which can be said to extend the width of life. As for muscles, bones, heart and lungs, he compares them to "prolonging life" and strengthens them through weight training or high-intensity interval training. For example, if we eat a lot of sugar, if we have enough muscle mass to help the body absorb it and store it in the form of liver sugar, such a buffering mechanism can keep your blood sugar normal; If you are a person with very low muscle mass, as long as he consumes too many calories at one time, the muscle absorption capacity is not as good as the former. Excess sugar is easy to be stored as fat, which may cause fat cells to secrete some hormones that produce insulin resistance for a long time. This vicious circle is followed by the arrival of chronic diseases. He said that another example of the influence of muscle mass on life span is that many elderly patients often lose a lot of muscle mass due to lack of adequate exercise and nutrition, and their mobility is even worse, which leads them to stay in bed when they encounter minor accidents and falls. , leading to faster muscle loss and lower buffering capacity of metabolism. Under the vicious circle, the condition is much worse than that of adults, and the mortality rate is relatively higher. To live a good life, the quality and length of life should be considered. Exercise can help our bodies change.
As for his favorite sport, Cheng Hua said that his favorite sport is muscle strength training. While doing sports in the gym, he also spent a lot of time studying some latest foreign literature and research materials, and tried it on himself first. Due to the evolution of sports science research, there were many researches on endurance sports in the early stage, and later, due to the progress of research instruments and technology, the research on muscle strength training was further explored. So at present, I think there are still many places to discuss and discuss in muscle strength training, so I will think about food and various supplies while doing it, how to eat it in the end, what impact it has on my body, and how to improve it. He will test and study them one by one. So, what has changed after exercise? Cheng Hua mentioned an important concept, that is, "the self-healing power of the body is aroused by exercise", and "effective" exercise and diet can restore you to the healthiest state. He said that he had not exercised for several years before he was in his thirties, and the changes and pressures of his work would make him feel depressed and depressed. After recovering his exercise habits, his mood will change a lot after each exercise, and he will also think about some things and sort out his thoughts while running.
As a nutrition consultant for professional athletes, the "food detective" is managed by Professor Hou Jianwen of Beijing Universiade College, because not many people in Taiwan Province Province have obtained the qualifications of nutritionist and sports science at the same time. At that time, Professor Hou came to see him. He thought that he could apply what he had learned and grow up with each other, so he accepted it gladly. At present, Cheng Hua has cooperated with several younger brothers and sisters to coach athletes: Zhang Jiazhe, (Marathon), (Volleyball), Chen Zhizhen, Yang Kaijie, Zhuang, Su Lian, Li, Chen Shiming, Beishi Ironman Team (Triathlon), Fang, Fang Shiyan (Competitive Gymnastics) and Li Xuanyan (Swimming). Cheng Hua said that after contacting these contestants, he found that most of them may still use some seemingly healthy foods or make a diet plan in an incorrect way. He will first know each other's diet and supplies, then make suggestions and choices, and give some conceptual education. The so-called "healthy food" of ordinary people is not necessarily suitable for them to eat, such as low GI food that is common in the market. For some players, this kind of food is not suitable for eating during the competition, which may lead to poor performance. Therefore, more appropriate suggestions will be given, and other supplies will be discussed with players one by one. They haven't touched some newly suggested foods, so they need to spend some time getting used to them. Don't eat them before the game to avoid some accidents. Besides, there are many kinds of sporting goods. If a player eats temporarily abroad, he often doesn't know how to choose. At this time, he will let the other party pat the nutrition label on the package and let him analyze its nutritional components. In addition to seeing whether the brand is reliable, he will also investigate relevant information so that the players can have a safe nutritional supplement. Cheng Hua said that he had seen in some supply stores that some goods in the stores were at risk of banned drugs. Players may not know this information, and he will also help them check the banned drugs published by the competition unit and give advice. For example, some "muscle assimilators" on the market have the risk of banning steroids during exercise. They are products on the edge of gray, and the seller can't give a full explanation when asked. Although the synthetic power of muscles will increase after taking it, there will also be health hazards and unfairness, and even more, the players will be blocked out of the competition in violation of regulations. After working as a nutrition consultant for a while, Cheng Hua was deeply gratified that these players not only slowly saw the results, but also had a correct concept of what to eat. For example, Fang Qing, a competitive gymnast, needs posture control, with the goal of increasing muscles and reducing fat. After receiving the instruction, she followed Cheng Hua's advice to control her diet. Within two weeks, body fat rate decreased by 2.4%, muscle mass increased by 1.5kg, and fat decreased by 0.8 kg. After two weeks, her weight changed from 44.39 to 45.6438+0 kg. If she only looked at her weight, she would be very nervous. Because Ke Qing was prone to get fat in adolescence, she wanted to get fat. Later, after testing, she found that the muscle mass increased and the fat was still decreasing, which reassured Ke Qing's mother and coach. The above is an example of reducing physical burden and increasing muscle strength through diet adjustment. Cheng Hua said that little players like this will need such help very much, because they don't know how to eat better and their parents don't know what kind of food to prepare for them. Cheng Hua's challenge is that besides the players themselves, it takes time to educate their parents. In addition, for example, the Northern Iron Man Team is a regular team in the domestic iron man competition. Besides paying attention to sports training, nutrition supply is the most important part of triathlon, such as how to supplement water, energy and electrolyte. And how to do a good job of recovery in peacetime, so that you can have the best sports performance in the game. Cheng Hua will also make individual analysis and suggestions for each member. Because athletes themselves will also consider the choice of sports nutritional supplements, this part of Cheng Hua will also help to do some research and make suggestions.
Call for new blood to join and promote the new concept of sports nutrition. At present, the goal of Cheng Hua and other nutritionists is to educate more athletes and let them know how to change their diet better. Because, of course, he can't provide consulting services for every player at any time. To let more people know the latest and correct concept of sports nutrition, it is necessary to strengthen the manpower and strategy of promotion. Chenghua also cooperates with several gymnasiums, and will arrange time for on-site service, such as Knight Fitness Center, Achilles Fitness Center and ACED Fitness UK, Tongli Gym and so on. The mode of cooperation is in the form of small lectures, and the topics cover sports concepts, nutrition supply, how to match diet and training, etc. So as to help the general public establish a more correct concept of sports nutrition. At present, personal sports nutrition consultation and counseling services are being planned. I hope that nutritionists with sports science education in China will join the propaganda of sports nutrition knowledge, and I also hope that nutritionists in North China, South China and Central China can provide such services, perhaps by means of roving services. Sports nutrition is a very new interdisciplinary knowledge. With the popularization of the national movement, the professional demand in this field will become more and more urgent. Of course, he encourages nutritionists who are interested in sports to engage in sports nutrition services. However, sports science and nutrition are originally two pieces of knowledge, and the complex interaction between them can not be completed by reading a few books, but must be completed and integrated in both aspects. Therefore, he also suggested that nutritionists who want to engage in sports nutrition should take advanced courses and obtain a degree in sports science before they can have a preliminary and complete concept.
If a coach helps you do barbell squats, the risk of injury can be reduced. Cheng Hua, who took the lead in raising the banner of health, said that in the process of studying sports nutrition, he found many places that he once thought he knew very well, but after re-contacting, he found that there were actually many places that could be discussed again, which made Cheng Hua deeply enjoy it. He has been constantly learning new knowledge, with the aim of finding out the problems and finding out more foods or diets that may be more suitable for the application of local ingredients in Taiwan Province Province. He thinks that the academic environment in Taiwan Province Province is actually excellent, and the research results are also very good, but it is a pity that it has not been implemented in the lives of ordinary people. Cheng Hua hopes that she can take the lead and start a discussion on sports nutrition, so that more people can pay attention to this part and turn the difficult research results in academic institutions into practical applications. In the future planning, he thinks that he has made a start in the field of sports nutrition, and he doesn't know what the market will be like. This is an adventure, because no one has done it before, but what is certain is that it is more effective to let people who are willing to exercise improve their diet at the same time. It can also make sports nutrition take root and thrive in Taiwan Province Province, so that people can learn more. In addition to improving the sports atmosphere, it will also make people healthier and help more people regain their life strength.
Exercise and nutrition are as complementary and harmonious as Tai Chi. For Cheng Hua, exercise and nutrition, like Tai Chi diagram, are the harmonious laws of all things in the universe and cannot be biased towards any one side. Nutrition represents nourishment, rest and recovery; Exercise represents challenge, sprint, destruction, etc. Physical changes are caused by exercise, including that only correct and effective training and correct nutrition plan can improve a person's sports ability.
