Q

T or F: physical activity alters leptin levels

A

F; they are independent

but PA does decrease fat % and therefore leptin concentration in the blood

10
Q

Homeostatic

A

signaling from adipose tissue and gut to the brain
long term: leptin and insulin to hypothalamus
short term: Ghrelin, peptide YY respond to meals

*Ghrelin stimulates hunger and spikes before meals and then drops after

Q

What BMI is associate with low risk of death for men and women?

A

M: 23.5-24.9
F: 22-23.4

32
Q

A BMI of __ in someone over the age or 65 is considered under weight

A

23

33
Q

For children

A
>95% = overweight
>85% = at risk
34
Q

modifiable risk factors for obesity

A

high birth weight
TV view time
parent inactivity
diet

35
Q

Fat free mass

A

water, protein and bone

36
Q

fat mass

A

storage and essential fat

37
Q

Essential fat

A

fat in the heart, lungs, liver splenn ( all organs) normal physiologic functing required

38
Q

Fat storage

A

fat packed primarily in adipose

39
Q

Minimal leanness standards

A

M: 3%
F: 12%

40
Q

why does BF affect menstal cycle

A

irrgeluarities in the HPA axis; decreased levels of gonadotropin releasing hormone, lower levels of leuteinizing hormone from pituitary

41
Q

hydrostatic weighing

A

Archimedes

Specific Gravity= weight in air/ loss of weight in water

42
Q

BD =

A

BD = mass/volume
D = mass of a person/ volume of water displaced
FF density = 1.1 g/cm2
Fat = .9 g/cm3

43
Q

someone who has more fat will float or sink?

A

float bc density of fat is less than water

44
Q

Body volume =

A

weight on a scale - underwater weight

45
Q

Bod Pod

A

BV = chambers reduced air volume when subject enters
body mass in air/ body volume
DIRI equation
BD –> body fat

46
Q

Skin fold measurements

A

subcutaneous fat

47
Q

Girth

A

circumferential measure

48
Q

skin fold is not a good estimation of __

A

visceral fat

49
Q

skin fold i about __% off from gold standard

A

3.5%

50
Q

girth measurement is about __% off

A

2.4-4%

51
Q

girth measurements are not good for

A

overly thin
excessively fat
trained people
strength trained

52
Q

BIA

A

bioelectrical impedance
low levels alternating electrical current
lower resistance in FFM and water vs fat or bone

53
Q

Ohms law

A

R=V/I

resistance = voltage/current

54
Q

Siri equation

A
%BF = (495/D) - 450   M
%BF = (501/D) - 457   F
55
Q

problems with BIA

A

relies on hydration
if dehydrated, decrease impedance by increasing concentration of electrolytes and gives a lower body fat reading
increased hydration - falsely increases body fat
temperature - hot room, lowers fat estimation

56
Q

Cons of BIA

A

hydration, temp
not as good as girth and calipers
doesn’t measure the distributioon

57
Q

%BF norms

A

M: >20%
F: >30%

58
Q

How to determine Goal body weight

A

shold be based off percentage, not numbers

men: 15-20%
female: 22-25%

59
Q

1st law of thermodynamics

A

energy is neither created or destroyed

60
Q

weight is stable when

A

energy intake = expenditure (basal or resting, PA and thermal energy)

61
Q

A weight loss of ____% provides significant health benefits

A

5-10 %

62
Q

___% of people regain inital weight loss within 1 yr

A

33-50

63
Q

FITT for obesity

A

F: > 5 days/wk
I: moderate - vig
T: min 30min/day (150/wk) progress to 60min/day
T: intermittent at first, continuous and interval once they reach moderate
*resistance training and flexibility
* also resistance training and behavioral modification

A

500-1,000 kcal.day

reduce dietary fat

66
Q

Short term water loss

A

initial weight loss from glycogen stores (containing large amounts of water)
little fat loss despite drop in weight

67
Q

__% of female athletes has DE

___% of males

A

62; 33

A

low energy

A

bradycardia, hypotension, arrhythmias
hypoglycemia, low sex hormones, amenorrhea, dry skin
constipation, abominal pain, muscle cramps, edema
hypothermia
anemia
dental decay

70

A

refusal to maintain BW

10% mortality rate within 10 yrs of diagnosis

71

A
more common
purging
bathroom after meals
