Adding engineering to your workout

• Computer modeling your schedule
• More efficient use of the supplement
• Better understand the effects that it will have
  on you
• Design a supplement program designed around you
• Things to customize
• Your age, weight, sex
• Years have been working out, average time working
  out

4
Types of Supplements

• protein powders
• energy booster
• growth stimulators
• weight gain formulas
• weight loss formulas
• strength maximizes

5
Supplements

• Pros
• Help to add valuable nutrients to diet
• Provides extra lift in workouts both mentally and
  physically

• Cons
• Not governmentally regulated
• Have different effects on different body types,
  and age
• Some products are flat out scams.

6
Creatine

• Found naturally in many foods
• Meats and fish
• Used to quickly replaces phosphorous to ADP, in
  order to form ATP
• An average 150 lb person will have about 120
  grams of creatine, and an average person uses up
  about 2 grams of creatine a day

7
Benefits of Creatine

• More energy during workouts due to ATP
  regeneration
• Enhanced strength during workouts
• Less dependence on glycolysis- reducing lactic
  acid
• Quick with gain in just weeks for new creation
  users.

8
Negatives of Creatine

• Water retention
• Muscles are not as hard due to water retention
• Some gas and bloating
• Diarrhoea

Protein Supplements

• Come in 3 major forms
• Whey protein
• Soy protein
• Protein bars
• Each have advantages and disadvantages

11
Protein in the environment

• Protein comprises approximately 50 of cellular
  dry weight
• Source of Amino Acids
• The body cells use amino acids for
• Growth
• Maintenance
• Repair
• Many of the amino acids necessary in metabolism

12
Whey Protein

• Derived from milk
• Most close to mothers milk
• Top rated protein by the USDA
• Not a very desirable taste

13
Soy Protein

• Been used for centuries in Asia.
• Proven to reduce the risk of heart disease
• Lower cholesterol
• Made completely from plants
• Not as highly rated as Whey protein by USDA

14
Protein Bars

• Easily taken on the go
• Tend to cost more then the other protein
  supplements
• Most do not meet their nutritional claims

15
Five top selling protein supplements
16
Engineering

• Engineering Good Research Knowledge base ?
  Practical Application
• Applications to Engineering
• Develop Better Supplements
• Develop Better Delivery Methods
• Computer Model Simulation
• Why?

17
Computer Model

• Examples
• BMI calculation on many health websites
• Takes Individuals Height, Weight
• Outputs Body Mass Index based on established
  relationships
• Dr. Jones' Crop Growth Model
• More complex, multi variables across many regions
• Highly Accurate in most cases, Time / Saved

23
Research / Data Collection

• Basic survey to collect data
• Provided general info about user attitudes /
  success of supplements
• Ultimately inconclusive

24
Retrospect

• Good learning experience real engineering
• Would benefit from more time, and a lot more
• Very satisfied with model prototype
