25
Bone fitness
bone density structural integrity of tissue
26
Kinesiology
the study of physiological processes and anatomy of the body during movement (things that happen during exercise)
27
3 areas of kinesiology
exercise physiology sport and exercise psychology movement sciences
28
Basic research designs to study exercise
case study cross sectional study case control longitudinal study experimental study
29
Case study
describes what happens to one or a few people (ex. measure physiological variables during exercise)
30
Cross sectional study
compare groupie of people at a given period of time (ex. descriptive data of fit and unfit individuals)
31
Case control
individuals with a certain condition compared to those without (ex. physical activity level of those with and without cancer)
32
Longitudinal study
groups of people followed over time (ex. over 40 years, study physical activity behavior and heart disease outcomes)
33
Experimental study
examine a group before and after training (ex. what happens to muscle strength after 6 weeks of training)
34
Sliding filament theory
- series of chemical reactions - need ATP - proteins slide over each other - muscle contractions basically how muscles move
35
Fast twitch muscle fibers
- anaerobic - recruited for strength and speed
36
Slow twitch muscle fibers
- aerobic - recruited for endurance efforts
37
Bioenergetics
the transfer of energy in living systems
38
Where do we get our energy
from our food the we consume (fats, protein, carbs)
39
What is a significant contributor to energy expenditure
movement
40
Components of daily energy expenditure
Basal Metabolic rate- 50-60% (energy we would consume laying in bed) Physical activity- 20-30% (the only part we can control) Thermic effect of food (TEF)- 10-15% (heat given off)
41
Energy from ATP stored in muscle
available for immediate use
42
Anaerobic energy
Immediate source -phosphagen (CP) system -fastest, short lasting ~10 sec Short term source -glycolysis (glucose stored in cell and in muscle) -fast, intermediate duration ~20-120 seconds -fast twitch muscle fibers
43
Aerobic energy
Long term source - oxidative system - uses oxygen to get energy - slower energy production, long lasting (3+ minutes) slow twitch muscle fibers
44
Exercise increases
the rate that the body uses energy
45
Aerobic metabolism
oxygen to resynthesizes ATP
46
energy expended during exercise is calculated based on
intensity (MET) and duration (mins or hours)
47
MET
metabolic equivalent 1 MET= resting energy expenditure (sitting) 1 MET= 3.5ml O2/ kg (body weight)/ min 1 MET~ 1 kcal/kg/hour
48
Gross energy expenditure
= PA plus resting EE (MET)
49
Net energy expenditure
= EE through PA only (MET-1)
50
MET conversion
activity level / 3.5
51
Energy Expenditure calculation
(in kcal) = MET x body weight (kg) x time (hours)
52
Net Energy Expenditure calculation
= MET-1 x body weight (kg) x hours tells how much energy they are actually using bc it doesn't include resting METs
53
Do METS account for fitness level?
No, they are the same for everyone. the difference: how much energy we are expending and how difficult the exercise is
54
Body challenge during exercise
to maintain homeostasis
55
What happens during exercise?
- muscle contraction -> requires ATP - changes in cellular pH - increase in temperature - need to maintain blood flow to other arts of the body - stress to the joints
56
Graded exercise test (GXT)
Method to collect a variety of info during exercise in a lab with a treadmill, cycle, ergometer - in multiple, advancing stages -max or submax
57
What does a GXT measure and determine
measures physiological values, determines normal exercise response and maximal aerobic capacity
58
Normal resting heart rate
60-80 bpm
59
Normal blood pressure
120/80 mm
60
Systolic pressure
pressure when heart is contracting (pumping)
61
Diastolic pressure
pressure when heart is relaxed (filling)
62
Stroke volume
blood pumped per beat (ml) by left ventricle
63
Cardiac output (Q)
blood pumped per min (L/Min) of exercise Q= heart rate x stroke volume
64
O2 extraction
amount of O2 used by muscle
65
avO2 difference
difference between artery and venous O2 values in this muscle
66
VO2
volume of O2 used during exercise - directly related to intensity of exercise - function blood pumped and O2 extracted
67
VO2 max
amount of oxygen used at maximal exercise - maximal aerobic capacity
68
short term changes during one bout of exercise: what is the only thing that doesn't increase?
Cardiovascular exercise, diastolic blood pressure- stays the same
69
How to increase your Fitness
Apple the principles of training
70
Principles of Training
PROS Progression Reversibility Overload Specificity
71
Specificity
which aspects of fitness do I want to change? (cardiovascular, strength, speed, flexibility etc?)
72
Overload
challenge at a level beyond the normally accustomed changes you can make: FITT (frequency, intensity, time, type)
73
Progression
adaptations that occur (ex. day 1= 5 pushups, day 30= 15 push ups)
74
Reversability
progression can be reversed "gains are lost when overload is removed"
75
Long term changes (6+ months)
- resting measures (heart rate/bp) - exercise ability at the same intensity (ex aerobic jogging at 8 MET) - maximal effort increase
76
What decreases after long term exercise
Heart rate, blood pressure (systolic max increases)
77
Heart rate graph (showing pretraining and posttraining heart rates)
direct relationship, pre-training and post-training mimic each other but post training heart rate is slightly lower always
78
Stroke volume graph (shows pretraining and posttraining stroke volume)
