Chpt 7 Energy Expenditure Flashcards
Na
What percent of adults are affected by obesity-related health consequences
60%
Metabolic process in which body burns calories to produce heat
Thermogenesis
What are the 3 general purposes that the body uses energy
Basal metabolism, Physical Activity, Digestion
What is the fourth minor form of energy output?
Refers to the production of heat in response to dietary patterns or environmental temperature
Adaptive thermogenesis
Define Basal Metabolism (BMR)
Minimal amount of calories expended in a fasting state to keep the body alive
Does BMR include digestion
No
If a person is not resting nor fasting this metabolic rate is used
Resting Metabolic Rate
Which is high Basal or Resting Metabolic rate?
RMR
What is the main factor in BMR
Lean body mass (LBM)
People with higher amounts of LBM have Higher or Lower BMR. Why?
Higher, lean body tissue is or metabolically active than adipose tissue
Do over weight people have high amounts of lean body mass?
Yes, it is needed to support the fat tissue
What percent of the total energy expenditure is from the BMR?
60 - 80 %
What does low calorie intake do to basal metabolism?
What does this cause
Decreases it.
With a low BMR the body needs less calories
How does exercise help BMR
Exercise increases lean body mass which increases BMR
What are the 2 catagories of calorie expenditure from physical activity.
How do they differ?
EAT Exercise-activity Thermogenesis
Physical activity
NEAT Non Exercise-activity Thermogenesis
Body posture, ambulation, spontaneous movements; fidgeting
The bodys use of energy to digest food and absorb and metabolize the nutrients consumed.
Thermic Effect of Food
What is the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) in percentage for the following
Fat
Carb
Protein
0 - 3 %
5 - 10%
20 - 30%
Define Adaptive thermogenesis
Non voluntary muscle movements.
Example is shivering
What type of adipose tissue participantes in thermogenesis
Brown adipose tissue
Why is brown adipose tissue brown
High number of mitochondria
Factors that increase Basal Metabolic Rate
Acute injury or illness Certain Medical Conditions Excess thyroid hormones Being Tall Increased body temperature Lean body mass Periods of growth Post exercise recover Stimulate drugs: Caffine Stress
Factors that decrease Basal Metabolic Rate
Insufficient thyroid hormone production
Short in height
Starvation or very low calorie diet
What are the main components of energy balance?
Energy in & Energy out
How is the energy content of food determined and expressed?
Determined by a bomb calorimeter
Expressed in Kilocalories
What are the main purposes for which the body uses energy?
BMR, Physical Activity, Digestion
The amount of energy our body uses can be measured by both direct and indirect
Calorimetey
What is a kilocalorie?
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water 1 degree Celsius
Describe the process of direct calorimetry
Person put in small room 24 hrs any body heat released will raise the temperature of a layer of water surrounding the chamber.
Describe the process of indirect calorimetry
Is this process more or less common than direct calorimetry
A person puts a device in their mouth to measure amount of oxygen taken in and carbon dioxide released.
More common
The human body uses 1 liter of oxygen to yeild about how many calories
4.85
What does EER stand for?
Estimated Energy Requirements
Used to estimate the energy intake needed to match the energy use of an average person in a specific life stage.
EER calculation is based on which 5 factors
EER estimated energy requirements Age Physical Activity Weight Height
Red flags that body weight maybe contributing to poor health (5)
Hypertension Hypercholesterolemia Family history of obesity Apple shapped upper body ( Android fat Dist.) Hyperglycemia
Weight divided by height squared
BMI
What is the value of BMI that indicates over weight
What is the value for obesity
25
30
What is a healthy BMI
18.5 - 24.9
Average body fat for men
Average body fat fir women
18 - 24
25 - 31
How is body density calculated
Divide body mass by body volume
What is the most accurate why to measure body volume?
Underwater (hydrostatic) weighing
What is the Bod Pod?
Air displacement machine for measuring a persons body volume
Skinfokd measurements estimate?
Total body fat content
